Poketo.com sells wallet designed by Jared Schorr

The Poketo online store is now selling a wallet designed by Jared Schorr as part of a series of cut paper wallets. The first picture shows the outside of the wallet, and the second is the interior. Janet Lee of Poketo interviewed Jared on the Poketo blog about his design. He said, "I wanted to do a wallet with a lot of monsters running and having fun, kind of like a Ryan McGinley photo. You don't really know what is going on, but you wish you were there. Though the monsters are running for their lives, they are still enjoying themselves."

Dennis Balogh's portrait in Success magazine

Dennis recently completed a multiple-pose portrait of Jim Rohn for Success Magazine. Dennis really captured his vitality and made it look as if he drew him from real life. Dennis says, "When beginning the painting stage I paint very loosely in a transparent wash and early on introduce broad spontaneous brush strokes, some of which I lose in the course of the painting. My constant goal is to keep liveliness with my technique, remembering that I'm painting and not just trying to duplicate an image. Every face has its strong characteristics that I try to accentuate with pencil line and brush work. Midway through and when I finalize the painting, I apply opaque brushwork that accents and gives the art its overall color strength."
