Art so far.

I've been super busy preparing for an event known as "Art-a-Licious," where I will be selling my art.

Here are just a few of the pieces I have completed for it. 

More are in the making

"DINO COAT HANGER"

Key holders + coat hangers in the making. 

"RAGE FACE"

Mini paintings + some key chains made out of comic book adds and pages.

"SPLATTER BABIES"

A commissioned Little Mermaid Painting.

Practice

I'm working on drawing caricatures. I'm going to start off cartoony, and the more I get the hang of it, the more I'll exaggerate features. I'll be practicing all summer, for a certain event coming up.

This is a caricatue of a friend on facebook, I'll be making more of these soon.

Another Pregnant Belly Paint Job

Another pregnant friend of mine was having a photo shoot, and asked me to paint something special on her belly prior to it. 

This stage was my personal favorite to paint.

She wanted the Earth painted on her belly, with a baby foot print, with six toes. Her hubby has six toes, it's genetic, so it's likely her baby will have six toes as well!

More to come

I will post more during the summer, I'm super cereal. 

"Dark Side of the Baby"

A gift to my "not so prego anymore" friend.

Cinco de Mayo 

You jelly of this belly?

A friend of mine is 8 months pregnant, and wanted to know if I'd be willing to paint a trippy face on her belly. I was more than willing to! It's not everyday I get to paint on a pregnant lady's belly!
The baby kicked my brush now and then as I painted on her.

At this stage it kind of resembled an alien/ android kikaider hybrid.

I used non-toxic acrylic paint. 

2012

So many amazing and challenging things have happened in my life in this year alone. It's been a while since I've updated this blog, so I'll post a few personal art pieces created throughout the year. I plan to get more involved in my personal art, and plan to update this blog more with sketches and paintings that  I've held off on that I hope to gain the courage to start on again.

A lot of blogs that I've followed on this site have inspired me, I hope these inspire you, and thank you for your support. I wish for the best for you that awesome things come your way in 2013 - whoever is reading this.

Take my Heart

This is a Valentine gift for a special someone. It's a teeny tiny painting on a teeny tiny easel.  I would have posted it yesterday, but I was busy spending the whole day with him. <3

I hope you had a great day, regardless if you had a Valentine or not.

On an unrelated note, here's a doodle with some cat-itude. I've been so busy, but I will be making some more art very soon.

Candy Island!!!

K'nuckles and Flapjack, from the cartoon, 

"The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack."

One of my favorite cartoons.

A gift to an amigo of mine.

This is one of my entries for a collaborative indie art zine a friend of mine is working on.

Anx

Anxiety creeps and seeps into your bones. I owe art to some people; when you're stressed, doing a little vent art goes a long way. 

Lately I've been obsessing over the movie, "Artificial Intelligence." If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it, it makes you question your humanity and what the future of technology may bring us. 

I just can't get over the psychological/sci-fi/fairy tale vibe from this movie! It has to be one of the most underrated movies.

This is a doodle of one of the characters, Gigolo Joe.

"They ask for me by name. Gigolo Joe, what do you know?"

Here's a lovely music video remix made out of sounds from the movie by the talented, "Pogo."

2012 A New Year, A New Frontier!

Hey everyone! 2012 is approaching, many conspiracists say the world will end in this year, many dread and fear this year, while others welcome it with cheer and optimism. 

I welcome 2012, and will make the most of it, whether the world ends or not - which I'm not saying it is, but you never know, maybe aliens are planning on invading or something...I don't know.... 


Anyway, in order to make the most of 2012, here's a few new years resolutions that I plan on following to improve.

(Do you have any resolutions? Let me know~ )

1. Create/draw/work on art for 25 minutes or more everyday.
2. Limit time on internet.
3. Keep grades up, turn everything in on time.
4. Practice drawing anatomy and push poses.
5. Create more paintings/work towards larger scale canvases
6. Push myself to create new things.


2011 was such a significant year for me, so many things happened good and bad, but I rolled with the punches and in the end things turned out okay. I feel like I've improved so much as an artist and person. I hope that 2012 would be just as good, or possibly better for me, and you too.


Happy New Year everyone!
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 


(Here's are a few things I've made recently, that I want to post before 2012. )


Birthday gift for someone who's obsessed with dogs and Zombies.

                                          Acrylic paint on a poodle statute.

The Big Race

Birthday gift for my wonderful aunt Gloria, this is her dog "Frida," named after the artist "Frida Kahlo." This was photoshop, framed, and is currently a center piece in her living room.

Sonchuuuu

Am I a pretty fairy?!?

After going through some old sketch books, I stumbled upon my beloved Cutie Pie creature, and felt compelled to redraw her. It's been a year since the last time I drew Cutie Pie, and I see a little improvement since then.

Comic Fans in the Wild

My aunt sent me this rare video footage, never before seen.

Different species of comic fans migrating from their natural habitats to meet at Sac-Con, to perform their ritual gathering of purchasing merchandise, seeing artists, and dressing up as fictional characters to attract potential mates.

On the right side of the video, you'll see the elusive Jhonen Vasquez. He waits patiently at his booth for his prey to buy his comics; when their guard is down, he quickly devours them like an anaconda.

If my aunt would have recorded to the right a little more she would have captured this rare act on film.

Sac-Con 2011

Sacramento California, held Sac-con where amazing people like Jhonen Vasquez, Angus Oblong, Rikki Simmons, and others sat for hours diligently signing autographs and were forced to chit chat with fans!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend Sac-Con, but
my amazing aunt Gloria went for me to get some autographs and take some pictures. I entrusted Gloria with my visual journal to hunt down these amazing people and get them to sign in it.

Jhonen Vasquez, one of my favorite artists of all time. Artist and writer of the comics JTHM, Squee, I feel sick, Filler Bunny - and creator of the cartoon Invader Zim. Holding my visual journal...You cannot fathom the joy I am feeling seeing this.

Rikki Simmons, voice of Gir, and color artist for Jhonen Vasquez's, "I feel Sick," comics.

Angus Oblong - creator of the Oblongs, a wonderfully strange cartoon on adult swim. 

 

I'm sure there are more sigs in here, but I won't know for sure until I see my aunt in about a week. My spleen cannot contain this much happiness, I'm afraid it will burst.
