Generic Stuff from the Genericsloth: 2006

Hi there, this is my first blog posting to show my work and to maybe get some feedback. My name is Jack Tsai and I'm an All-Over-Artist. My background is illustration, having an associate's degree in it, and my profession is more toy design, having a bachelor's degree in that. My artistic ideal has always been to be a well-rounded artist/designer since the begining. To try to follow the great Renaissance Artists is quite daunting, but I feel that to be good, you have to strive to be great. Well that has gotten me to a certain level of discipline, but now that I have been trying to find my niche in the marketplace, it has created some dilemmas for me. I've worked for several toy companies already, ranging from pre-school to action figures. In these companies I've done alittle of everything; concept drawings, control drawings, color matching, graphic design, and package design. Right now I am still freelancing for some of these companies. Also, I am providing illustrations and designing graphics with a small studio that provides designs for children's wear to companies like Dillards and Target.
I like being challenged by the constantly different assignments, but I would like to try to move back towards pure illustration (whatever that is...). So, I am building a more specific portfolio right now, and would like to get some feedback at what direction to head in judging by my work. I am moving towards concept art, because it feels like a good combination of product design and illustration which is my skillset. So if you'd please take a look at my work and maybe post some suggestions, it would be highly appreciated. By the way, the website is not looking very sharp right now. It was a quick thing to get the work up, and the redesign is underway. Please be patient with it.
I'm also posting some of my stuff on here:
