The New Studio and Photography Set Ups...
Me in what was once my mom's living room...it has northern lighting and a cathedral ceiling! It'll get lots messier.
Our good friend Fran Paliotta setting up a shoot of some art for my upcoming dragon book. I did the step-by-step in one day, of this particular dragon and we found we needed to follow some very stringent rules on how the publisher wanted the art photographed.
Our "handmade" photo board, and a color chart(almost impossible to find in this day of digital art, no one "photographs" art anymore! Here you see stage 1 of the painting of this demo dragon...more to come tho, I can't show too much of the book as per agreement.

I'm impressed that you have rugs on the floor when you're working with paint!
They're really cheap rugs, they look expensive, and they'll wind up trashed by the time I am through with them. If we sold the house we were told we'd have to spend money ANYWAY to rip up the carpets to expose the hardwood floors which are show the "stripped" down house. Less is better. So while we're keeping it why bother covering up rugs anyway?
Oh wow, what a lovely setup! How I miss having a room of my own to paint in. (My current "studio" is my parents' guest room. It's difficult to spread out with 2 twin beds in the room! I'm just grateful to have anything.)
Thank you immensely for showing us your photo board! It's true, with the huge crush of digital art it's rare for people to get all technical about photographing art anymore. And yet it's vitally important for traditional painters to learn how to do this. You are so generous in educating us newbies, Bob. :-)
That's a nice big space.
Bob I have had a really good time reading your articles today. say, do you have more Lovecraft work than the Mountains of Madness piece?
I have lots of Lovecraft work, and some based on it and offshoots of it such as Lumley's Mythos series.
I like your photography studio and the set up,I enjoy reading it.
