Ashley Wood Promotional

Ashley Wood is an absolute "Legend in the Arts" that being said, I felt I had to do some sort of collaboration with his amazing work. Though I don't know him personally , I feel I know him through his marvelous paintings and the many years I have been admiring him. Finally I decided to do a promotional piece with a double sided 5x7 postcard, 4x3 sticker, and regular size gallery brochure.

Street Fighter (Cammy)

Another Classic piece that laid hidden for some years, I gave it a touch up by putting a white border around it. That being done, it does bring out painting more; shame though that I left it front of the oven too long. Cammy's colors were so much more intense, but it's still suitable.

Spencer's Tees

Today I decided to walk around the mall, and to my surprise I stumbled to one of my old shirts I had designed months ago. Shocking enough the company had told me that none of my designs were picked by "SPENCER'S"...well by looks of it I see a couple of my designs here. I won't tell you which one I did, being judged on the basis of these shirts wouldn't be fair. Enjoy:)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Another boxed away piece that never made it to the blog, it was a series of two self-portraits. One representing "anger" and the other "serenity"; not one of my favorite pieces, but even after so many years it stills hold up.

DESIGN OF BEE MHINE WINE

This another random assignment of mine that I decided to give a try, in fact it was actually fun. Its completely different from the original idea, it was more imagery than text. But as any artist knows if doesn't look and feel good from the start. Erase and do it again, this piece came to life as soon as I was giving up. Man! Do I hate and love that.

BATMAN COMIC

Here is a project I was working on before going to the University, I thought some comic work would be helpful in my portfolio. Since I have none, it was enjoyable to do, but not easy...I did change the current style of comic work to suit my style. Not to the point though were it was so completely different, but enough that it was unique. I do have 2 other complete penciled and inked comic pages that go along with this page. Not sure if I should even attempt to color the others. If anyone is interested in seeing the other 2 pages colored, message me until then.

This was a project done in order to get into the MFA program, it was so well liked that they had changed their minds and gave me another chance to enter the program. So I have much appreciation for this piece and some others. It really saved my life, thanks Nicki!

Quickies!

Here are some quickies on one boring Saturday afternoon, it was brought to my attention I should do more of a cartoon/ graphic work in order to app up my portfolio. Even though they aren't to my liking, they came out alright in such a short time and with a very very out of date computer.

2010-12-11T22:59:00.000-08:00

Much has happen since my last post...some good and others bad, but I'm happy to reports things are going well in my career. Even though on the personal level, there have have been better days. I am currently working in a graphics company...perhaps its not illustration, buts its a great start in these tough times and since I am a "graphic designer" now...lol, I'm showing some work I did at work and others from free time. I know I did't take typography, so I'm learning the hard way with no teacher...like most artists:)

The Real Korea...

Is a self explanatory of what may have happened in the Orient....but honestly I did enjoy my stay in Changwon, Seoul, Pochan and all of Korea. I just wished I could stay there longer, but I feel I must be else where...

2010-11-08T08:40:00.000-08:00

Star Craft?

This is a piece I did during the many hours spent in PC rooms in Korea. I'm not big computer guy, but due to the shortage of entertainment in my city. I had no choice but to play the occasional Star Craft with a fellow co-worker...so this is the inspiration of hours of Star Craft, I don't think it's that bad:)

2010-11-07T05:55:00.000-08:00

Augustus

This was something done at random while working in Korea. I was listening to some "Gorilaz", I guess you can tell now what my inspiration was. I hope you like this new piece, cause this one was a fun one to do.

2010-11-05T07:57:00.000-07:00

Another day

Another piece while I was in the "Great Land of South Korea", it had been a long long long while since I had done any sort of figure study. And with some hesitation I decided it was best to get back on the horse and draw again.

Update!

Due to unhappy people in the "Ringling Community" for me using a photo I found on Google and attempting to simply draw a harmless "Figure study" while being homeless in South Korea... as well as not sourcing the photo from a "Fellow Ringlingian", which I had no idea it was her's since I mostly use porn sites as my photo media. After much debate with a friend from Ringling (John Suarez). I decide to source the photographer who took picture, even though I was called a thief.

-The photo was taken by a talented loving women by the name of Kayla Gibson

-And man who showed me a better path in being kind to our fellow man or woman, John Suarez

Nudar was the leader of the Nudist Alien Scammers that scammed the people of Earth out of all their possessions. Nudar is the main antagonist of "Futurama's Bender's Big Score", that being said, I decided to build a "realistic" version of Nudar in Zbrush. This is actually my first attempt in Zbrush, I only know the basics and hope to continue to make more future projects! Enjoy!

N.C. fire

Hey, new sketchbook piece I did from being here in North Carolina which is an remarkable state with some truly remarkable people that have really open my eyes in how kind people can be as well as how cruel humanity can be to each other. Its been interesting....so far.

2010-01-31T11:39:00.000-08:00

What a Family...

This is one piece that I debated in putting on my blog, but I really felt it was able to tell the story without using so many words to explain in what has been going on here in North Carolina. I enjoy the occassional drama in my life, but this is one I never wanted to play with. And it's one that may never be fixed...and because we all have to go our own ways, no one has seem to realize that their will be one life who will never understand this and will be greatly effected in a negative way. Cause some people aren't able to put there ego and emotions away.....as well as they never ending lies. I will always love my daughter even if your mother doesn't want me too.

2010-01-30T09:42:00.000-08:00

Napo is me...

I was bored in Barnes n Noble and was able to draw out some demons that I have been keeping in me. Would have kept drawing more, but I ran out on my page. So I'm planning in painting some these demons that won't go away on wooden panals. I finally got my shippment of acrylics so now its time to get busy!

2009-11-30T14:09:00.000-08:00

Sneak Peek

Sorry, for not posting something sooner, but I have been going through some heavy stuff. As well as almost losing the will to paint and just changing careers, but I'm hoping this a piece to good start and exciting project!!

2009-08-30T19:09:00.000-07:00

Igor Stravinsky

Igor was so much fun to draw, he has such an interesting face as well as a very interesting life. He was a Internationaly known Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, the man was truely inspirational. Perhaps one of my favorite paintings from this Summer, it was definitely out of my comfort zone. I guess thats why, it was so exciting in doing this one!

2009-08-30T18:33:00.000-07:00

Jose Marti the Cuban!!!

Well, being in Miami you are bond to draw, paint or do something cuban so I picked good "ole' Jose Marti" a famous Cuban writer and poet.

2009-08-30T18:12:00.000-07:00

My Aphrodite

This is one of those pieces to keep my mind sane and busy during the long Summer break. I wanted to go for more a cut out look with the skin, rather then the realistic look that I normally try for. Enjoy!!!

It's been awhile since my last post, I have been working on a painting for a magazine cover for the last 2 weeks. Would have finished sooner, but my computer crashed and I lost all my reference and had to reshoot all over again.
But now I'm in good shape, with a few more touches...I will finish this painting in a couple of days.
So I will give you a preview before its all finished.

"Pensimiento de un Vida"

Its been almost 3 weeks since my graduation from Ringling, I have been applying to get my Masters at U.M. and getting a job. But its been pretty hard, even to freelance has been a epic battle, but I wanted to get back into things before I got cold. So I decided to go more personal and do an illustration that was dear to me.

Everything on this piece was done reverse, I first did the baby and the girl with gouache then I painted the background with two opposing colors representing the pros and cons. Then some simple designs that represented it that went along with some text and other symbols done in FABER-CASTELL markers. Then a retouch of lighter color of gouache around the characters, then I painted the hair in a thin layer of Mars Black acrylic paint. It took me 2 nights from start to finish, I gave myself a deadline so it was pretty fun... Thanks for reading.

"Senior Thesis"

2009-05-11T09:00:00.000-07:00

After a whole semester, I am finally done and so very happy in graduating from Ringling College!!! Yaahooo! I hope you enjoy my show.
