Commissions & tutorials on hold indefinitely

Apologies to everybody who has been waiting for new tutorials or has contacted me. Unfortunately my PC and my graphics tablet died on me over Christmas and I simply cannot afford to replace them at this time. Sadly, I had a number of free video tutorials in progress, including an in depth concept art tutorial, showing how to work from thumbnails and sketches to create your own work. Maybe I'll get to finish them some time, but for now I've had to put all my work on hold.

Meanwhile, I want to take this opportunity to thank those who bought my DVD, Photorealism volume 2 and for all the emails and highly positive and inspiring feedback. 

I have had a lot of requests for future DVDs, but unfortunately sales have been very disapointing on the whole and have barely covered my web costs or advertising expenses. I guess it's just one of the chances you take with something like this. 

I've decided to take an indefinite break from digital art and graphics for a while, but I hope that I have helped to teach and inspire many of you budding artists out there with my work. 

Once again I thank you for all your kind feedback and for all the support.

Best wishes,

Dan
