Woke up this morning to some really nice words from Jon Schindehette about my Wizards work so far
. Really happy they like me over there. Been working on Magic and having an awesome time as well, the whole experience in general has been nothin but great.
Jon just released this piece on his blog Art Order! Look forward to the rest getting released

Also just a reminder that my next LiveStream is on Monday 5 pm EST! Look forward to seeing you all there now that theres no limit!
Also Also Also, if you’ve sent me an email regarding questions or feedback on the streams it may take me a bit longer to respond as I had no idea how many emails I’d get D:. I’m going to try and designate a pocket of time during the week to address these questions on my LiveStream. Does that sound like a good idea? I just don’t want to have to respond with the same general answers to every email if I don’t have to. Really pressed for time at the moment. Just let me know if you think that’d work best. You never know who may benefit from the same things you yourself are curious about.
Heres an older piece I did for Wizards that I never posted as well

LiveStream tonight @ 9pm EDT!
Posted in Uncategorized with tags boobs, dave rapoza, i will kill again, live stream, wizards, wolf on November 3, 2009 by rapozaartHello everyone! I’ll be doing my LiveStream tonight at 9pm EDT! I know that 5pm EDT won the vote, but I had a lot of work today so had to make do with what time I had left… Anyways, I’ll be doing a 5 pm EDT show next monday and will rotate every other monday like this. Hopefully later on I’ll have a lot more free time and will be able to fit 2 Streams every week… But until then I’ll try and find a good balance. I’ll keep you posted for sure if things change!
Look forward to seeing you all on there! Or most of you… until they deem my stream worthy enough to not have a stupid size limit. Just write them an angry email or refresh if you can’t get in D:. You can always watch all the previous streams On-Demand as well from the link above.

Self Portrait Day!
Posted in Uncategorized with tags compromise, concept art, dave rapoza, exciter, self portrait day, stand up and fight on November 2, 2009 by rapozaartHey evverybody, today is Self Portrait Day on ConceptArt.org! So I took a couple hours out of the day to work on mine
. Its a great activity to take part in since most dudes don’t ever draw their portrait or any real studies from life(not that mine is haha). Anyways, hopefully some of you do it!
As far as LiveStreaming is concerned…
I’m yet to find a good balance! The votes are pretty much equal between 5pm EDT and 9pm EDT… How do you guys feel about an alternating schedule? I could do 9pm this monday then 5 the next? Let me know what you think as I still don’t wanna leave anybody out D:. Hopefully we can compromise here and I can start to get organized! I look forward to painting tomorrow night and hope to see you dudes there with some questions… So I don’t just talk about my fabulous body all night :O.

Best LiveSteam Monday Time?
Posted in Uncategorized with tags chelsea bloxsom, dave rapoza, dynamite, livestream, loveandasandwich, scorpions, time vote on October 29, 2009 by rapozaartHey everybody! Quick question for you dudes! I know a lot of you are European and whatnot so when I start my streams I’d rather not exclude you… So I was hoping I could get the best general time outta this poll. Please vote and let me know which time suits you best(you’re gonna have to figure the time difference though
).
(Click here to Figure the time Difference… I’m in Boston’s time zone)
Also, big plug for my girlfriend Chelsea Bloxsom’s awesome toys! Shes a great designer and hopefully I can help her reach new people
! So if you haven’t checked it out click the image below!
You can also check out her full gallery of designs on her Deviant Art.
and as always, some metal.

Thanks Bobby Chiu and Mike Mignola!
Posted in Uncategorized with tags bobby chiu, dave rapoza, frankenstein, live stream, mike mignola, overkill, thrash, wrecking crew on October 28, 2009 by rapozaartIf you don’t already know, Bobby Chiu of Imaginism Studios hosts a weekly Live Streaming series called the Chiu Stream! He just finished up his interview with Comic Legend Mike Mignola creator of Hellboy
(which you can rewatch on the stream)! Every week(or I think its still weekly) he hosts a contest with a subject from the artist hes interviewing and everybody has to draw their interpretation to get voted on… The winner of this gets a free sketch from whoever hes interviewing! Its a really great thing to be apart of and really fun. So if youre an artist you should give it a shot when he announces his next interview
.
So, this week my Frankenstein image was chosen as the winner by Mike Mignola! I’m super pumped to get my original sketchhh, gonna get a nice frame mmmm. So yea, its totally worth it to participate! Although I do think I’ll be bowing out of the whole thing for awhile do to a massive workload looming on the horizon D:.
But yea, thanks again to Bobby Chiu and everyone at Imaginism for this awesome opportunity! And again, if you can you gotta participate! Just follow his twitter and he’ll probably announce the next one soon.
I should have a lot of stuff to post up soon! Good stuff I hope D:.
I’ll also be hosting my live stream on Mondays from now on(unless Bobby’s Streams are monday, in which case I’ll change it because I wanna watch em hahah)!
Thanks everybody!
more metal! Overkill – Wrecking Crew

Winter is apon us D:
Posted in Uncategorized with tags bobby chiu, chiustream, contest, dave rapoza, frankenstein, grave digger, kids, mike mignola, skype, tutorials on October 25, 2009 by rapozaartOhhhhh GOD. Its that time of year
. Up here in New Hampshire winter comes into my life packin tons of terrible snow. Usually lasts for like 5 months and I’m totally not looking forward to it! Hopefully I can go on vacation or something soon… Can’t handle another winter of straight work and cabin fever ahaha.
I talked to a bunch of dudes and am looking to get started on my new set of videos! Really looking forward to talking to some artists I know/people who want advice
. Should be a lot of fun and maybe I can help some people out… Maybe not with all the beautifulness of painting, but definitely about industry freelance danger D:. At the moment I’m just finishing up my deadlines for the end of the month though. Should be up annd rollin afterwards though! Things are really looking up over here and I’m pretttyy happy about it! So look forward to some goodness
!
Did up my Frankenstein entry for Bobby Chiu’s Mike Mignola interview! Every week for a few weeks hes been interviewing some pretty great artists and every week theres a new contest in which you win a free sketch! Really looking forward to this one though, big fan of Mike’s work.
check it out
Should be updating soon with new videos!
