Welcome to the web studio of
John Sies (aka Artczar).
Here you can check out my
art and design work.

I am available for commissions -
specializing in Cartoons, Humorous Illustrations, Fractal, Science Fiction/Fantasy in Digital, Pen & Ink and Pencil art styles.

So, here I am in San Antonio now.  A long trip from Jacksonville, IL, but worth it.  I am revamping the website a bit at a time as quickly as I can, but hey, my clients come first.  The store works, but due to an upgrade in the site scripting, my Store page looks kinda flamboozled.  It works fine, just the page template is wonky.  I'll have it fixed asap.

 

New Facebook Page..

Oh the shame....   I finally snapped and at the urging of various artists and friends, I broke down and finally created a Facebook page.  It is featured in my Links section, but if you are too lazy to hunt it down, you can click this link .
 

The Store Is Open

Well, finally I wrestled down the code for the online store and it is active.  The link is on the menubar.  It still needs some tweaking, but I will be putting in items asap.  If there is any art on the site you'd like to see on a T-shirt, mug, mousepad, etc.,  just drop me a line.
 

Fractal Gallery

New to my site is an offering of my line of Fractal Art. Mathamatical formula make repeating patterns.  It's complicated...Google it for a detailed description.  These have proven to be so popular, I am giving them their own gallery.  And yes, they are for sale!
