I drew this the other day while waiting for someone. Grabbed a photo of it with my phone since I wasn't keeping it.

On Chalk It Out we have this drawing board. Visitors can submit their ChalkBoards, all of which we put here. Every now and then someone submits a ChalkBoard that really catches our eye, we put those in the Chalk It Out gallery as well and try to contact them so we can do an artist spotlight.

I emailed Jaume Fulgueira the other day after putting up his submission and he shared his story and some of his art.

I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I was born in 1980. I've been drawing people, monsters, robots, and other things since I was 3. I attended drawing and comic classes but with the years I'd rather spend my time with the computer or playing guitar than drawing. I studied Multimedia Engineering and Computer Technology in La Salle School in Barcelona, where I learned to use 3d Studio. Now currently I'm working as J2EE programmer. I never had the opportunity to use my artistic abilities at work, but I think perhaps it's better, since I prefer to keep them for my personal enjoyment.

This is another old sketch, looking at the metadata I didn't realize how long ago it was, but it's from Dec 07.  I went looking on Deviant Art for some inspiration and decided to try "duplicating" a photo by sight. In hindsight I probably could have spent more time on it. In hindsight I probably should have devoted more time over the last 400 days to drawing in general.

Here's the original, click on the image to go to it's DA page, or visit the photographer at http://ferice.deviantart.com/ and check out some of their other work.

My sketch is on the right... clearly, click on it for the hi-res version.

I had to do a background thing for twitter. One thing lead to another and now I have a Ninja Square... I'm not entirely sure what it means, but looking at it I get the impression the rope is important. I should pay more attention when I screw around in illustrator so I don't confuse myself.. oh wells.

Thought I'd upload a sketch I did a while ago, I was learning how to draw a dog.. this is the closest I got.

I've just done something completely, utterly stupid.. but it's not the type of thing for the internet so I'm commemorating the event with an image and song(not mine).

This is a photo I took a couple years ago, click for a bigger image. When I post photos it'll be in an unknown order. If you're obsessive about strict chronological succession there's nothing you can do about it.

Someone asked me for this.. if you feel like using it feel free to use and edit it like any other KATG promo material. I'd appreciate it if you didn't just link to it directly on my site; if you wanna use it save a copy and put it on your own site.

click to zoom -> right click -> save as

So I made the sketch at the top blue-er, from not being blue at all, it's now very blue. I also changed the background.
