I'm an artist and illustrator based in Indianapolis. Most of my recent work has been doing self-published children's book and clockwork bird paintings, but I do a little bit of everything. I've dabbled in mask-making and sculpture, I've done some graphic design, and I'm developing projects in comics and game art. I can work either digitally or traditionally, though my art tends to feature bold line art and bright colors regardless. I'm very interested in fantasy, mythology, history, and nature, and most of my personal art reflects that in some way.
Interests
A few quick updates for the new year.

First, I've started a new blog over at Tumblr, since that seems to be where all the art things are happening nowadays. I'll be posting a lot of sketches and some fanart that I don't generally post here. I'll also be using it in the coming months to post concept art and other development stuff for Parallel Parchment, so if you're interested in any of that and you're on Tumblr, check it out: [link]

Second, I've signed up to RedBubble and will be working on various products for that over the next few months. Currently I've got my "Sugar Hoard" available as a t-shirt & stickers and my two steampunk wallpaper designs available as iPod/iPhone/iPad cases. [link]

I'm also going to be working with a friend to program an online store for my website, so you'll be able to buy prints (and other things like magnets and buttons) directly instead of the awkward e-mail/note system I have now.

Third, Parallel Parchment. The reboot is still happening. Unfortunately the end of this year was extremely busy with various book projects, so I was not able to start drawing pages as I had hoped. Instead I'll be aiming to launch that project in the fall of this year, which incidentally will be the 10th anniversary of the original comic pages. Which is crazy. Again, concept and character art and other updates will be happening over at Tumblr, and I'll try to post some stuff up here on dA as well. Keep an eye out for that.

Finally, if you're in Indianapolis, three of my clockwork birds will be showing in the Steampunk Art Show this February, hosted by the Circle City Aerodrome: [link] They are hosting a full weekend of awesome Steampunk activities the first weekend of February, including a Grand Masquerade Ball. It looks to be a very fun and eventful weekend with a wide variety of things to do. If you like steampunk and you live in or near the city, you should definitely take a look at their website.

That's all for now! I've got a few pieces in progress that should be up soon, although most of my time is being taken up by a book at the moment. Information on that will go up when it's finished. :)

I got the subscription a month or so back, but I was debating what to change my name to. I'll admit this is a little clunkier, but since no one can be expected to spell 'Zyglowicz', I decided to simply make the name match my new domain and home of my website, which is forwardtoadventure.com. (It's not up yet though.)

FlameRaven worked when it was just my internet name, but it feels very high school to me and I need a more professional handle. I actually would have simply gone with 'bzyglowi,' but unfortunately since I made that account a few years ago as a duplicate, it's not actually available. And I don't think accounts can be deleted.
