Marketing myself!

With the much cajoling, persuading, and convincing of my friends - I've decided to try to market myself a little bit more on the internet, exposing my artwork to more people.

Of course, if I do something, I do it all out. Here are 6 different networks I'm setting my self on. Check it out!
1) tumblr (http://chris-chien.tumblr.com/)
2) deviant art (http://hypocalvin.deviantart.com/)
3) cghub (http://xpchien.cghub.com/)
4) concept art.org sketchbook (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=75001&page=2)
5) Sijun (http://forums.sijun.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17203)

Painted this at a Tom Brown workshop last month at Laguna Beach. This guy on the street asked about buying it - but I declined.  Special thanks to Yves and Margaret - who helped me a lot on this painting. :)
