I have an MFA Degree in Illustration from Cal State Fullerton. I am also a digital illustration instructor at CSUF. I have been teaching there for almost 9 years now. I am also a computer graphics instructor at Santa Ana College, Orange Coast College and East LA College. (all of these are in southern California, of course) I am also a freelance illustrator and I am looking for gallery representation for my Limited-Edition Fine Art Giclee Prints of my Vector Art Motorcycle Portraits.
SCREAMING DEATH!
Description My LATEST Print of an air filter that was transformed into an image of death. You just gotta love that! I am having a contest on my website to win a Signed Limited-Edition Print of this portrait. All you have to do is guess the number of Anchor Points it took to make this illustration. Whoever comes the closest without going over, wins! It will be #3 of 20. You can find the link for the contest at the bottom of my home page at: www.pentoolart.com - Chris.

Chris,
Your chrome is INSANE and so are you! You have the patience of a saint and the vector skills of a demon. Number of anchor points, I'm guessing a ba-zillion, but then, I never was real good at math. Awesome work, as usual. I applaud you, my friend, BRAVO!

I am insane? Damn! THANKS! One of the best compliments I have gotten in a long time. Thanks for the comments. But, I will also add here... not quite a bazillion anchor points, but definitely the most I have ever used in one illustration... that is the reason for the contest. - Chris.

What Up Airlock? Thanks for the compliments and the feedback. I like the "lol" at the end because that is pretty much what I did when I finally came to the conclusion that I was done! Thanks again. - Chris.

876,354- How's this? I would imagine most artists such as myself have never seen that many vectors in one place!
