Art Update!

Here is a new piece that I recently did for my good friends at MechaCon. This art, featuring our heroines Jett and Zee standing atop their mechanical warrior, G.E.A.R.E., is going to be used on promotional post cards to help spread the word about next year's convention, which will be held again right here in New Orleans! MechaCon 2011 will be the best and biggest yet! Mark your calendars!!!

TRON: LEGACY

Well, we went last night for the midnight showing of TRON Legacy, in 3-D IMAX, of course. What else can I say, other than it was everything I hoped it would be. My expectations were as high as they could be, and the movie met all those expectations with flying colors.

As a HUGE fan of the original movie, I realised there were things that were going to be different in this one, such as programs shattering when they de-rez instead of disappearing in a digital flash, but this is a newer system, or "grid", than the first movie. So it makes sense that some things, including physics and various other properties of the virtual Tron world would be different, for example.

Anyway, like I said, I had high hopes for TRON Legacy and I still was blown away by its awesomeness. Can't wait to see what happens in the next one! (hopefully they'll bring Laura back into the story)

END OF LINE. :-)

Tools of the Trade

Well I finally bit the bullet, and got a Wacom Cintiq pen display. This thing is just incredible, and truly has to be experienced first hand to be fully appreciated. Hands-on drawing, with no need to scan. Increasing productivity. Improving work quality. The old Intuos was great, and I had many years of valuable service out of it, but nothing beats the true hands-on feel of having the pen right on the drawing surface like the Cintiq does. It's an amazing device, no doubt, and I am so glad to finally have one to use full time.

Rex of URL

Hey all, anyone still here?

Wow... Way over a year since I kicked this thing off (then let it collect dust all over again).

So today is a new horizon, as I have finally registered a domain, as a first step to having my own functioning website without having to rely exclusively on deviantArt, MySpace, Facebook, etc as an official home on the web for my art and other whereabouts.

So here it is, this page is now, finally the official home of www.robbymusso.com .

...and there was much rejoicing. Yayyyyyyyyyy

Ignition!

Greetings to the internet world again. My name is Robby Musso, also known as REX-203 in various corners of the World Wide Web. Here begins my embarkment on yet another website to write words, show pictures, share artwork, impose opinions, and do whatever else people do on these ever popular "blog" sites and the like.

A quick little bit about myself, as I finally kick things off here. I'm 32 years old and I draw as a profession. As a featured artist on IDW Publishing's Transformers Spotlight series of comics, my main focuses are Japanese robots, anime, and sci-fi nerdy/geeky stuff, but I also do whatever else comes to mind or whatever else I am commissioned for. I am a fan of many things, many genres, series, and titles, but my favorite is Transformers, so that's usually what I'll end up talking the most about if it somehow comes up in conversation.

Of course, although it may be a significant part of my life, Transformers isn't everything in the world to me, so this blog will certainly serve as another place for me to post stuff about everything else I'm into as well, and occasionally some things I'm not. It's just another place to share my experiences and talk the talk with others who may or may not share similar experiences or talk the same talk.

So, as future entries are posted here, I cordially invite you to read, comment, critique, discuss, agree, disagree or all of the above. Have a great day, and I look forward to your feedback!

'Til all are one!
