"La Chilena"

Some sketchbook piece I did last year, for a friendly competition I did with a friend.

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!

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.

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!!!

Ms. H. Bonham

Here is new piece I have been working on a couple of days, nothing fancy so I went towards a more graphic approach this time around. Rather then hitting on the oils and getting more into the details, but I'm pretty happy with this one.

AILAKIM

This was for a local upcoming Fashion Designer in Miami, I was more then pleased to contribute work to some already some amazing works of fashion, illustrations, and models.

Thank you Mikalia, Kim, Natelie, and Adrian. 8)

"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.

This is my latest piece, as you can see its got a very different style. Thanks to my wonderful peers, I tried to attempt a different look. It was alot more relaxing and kinda fun, but I would have liked to put more detail. Its an alright piece. 8)
