Tattoo For A Friend

2011-06-15T00:29:00.000-07:00

Since I have become a Mouse Jockey in the last three years, it was nice to actually draw something that went into production...in a sense.

It has Hebrew writing in the roots.

Art Walk June 2010

Now that it is June 2011, I realized this little painting from Art Walk of June 2010 hangs in a restaurant in Downtown L.A. and I have not seen it since the paint dried nor posted any remembrances of it.

So, here it is.

It was hung on a RED wall.

(I built the birdcage in 3D Strata and I know it looks a lil out of place...ahhh well)

So conceptual we don't actually play instruments...

My WEBSITE is up and running (I finally got something up other than my ospace page). The design galleries are still being worked on but you should be able to see everything else. Just to let everyone know, this is a beta version of my website while I continue to work on it and get it formatted correctly.

My crate project completed!

2007-12-07T21:50:00.000-08:00

crate project - assembly required

2007-11-17T18:30:00.000-08:00

the last two images are of the lid that I'm going to nail to the top. The pocket-watch painting is was done on board and then cut out. It's going to hang from the little frame in the the center of the lid and swing back and forth so that when you look through the handle/opening of the crate, you become "hypnotized". Lame? I'm not sure either.

website in the works

2007-06-14T12:37:00.000-07:00

hello, hello,

I haven't updated this in a while but I'm on vacation right now, and I must admit that I haven't been very productive. However, I have started to get a website together to showcase my portfolio. It's just a welcome page right now but if you're interested click on the icon below:

final paintings

2007-05-09T19:47:00.000-07:00

Well, here they are, the final 5 paintings of my series!

post cards in the making

2007-04-25T23:57:00.000-07:00

I just need to add the type and print my three-part promotional cards!

an editorial piece

2007-04-24T19:07:00.000-07:00

This long and narrow piece was done for an editorial assignment, my concept was basically about moving up in the world. It only took a couple hours because of the simple style. I plan to touch it up in photoshop, cuz it's going to print.

The photo's a bit blurry, but you get the picture. It will be split into three groups to make three postcards/mailers. I think it'll be cool.

more works in progress

2007-04-24T19:04:00.000-07:00

oh, it's coming along

2007-04-16T21:30:00.000-07:00

aproximately 10 seconds later I spilled matte medium all over this couch. The pinkish oval panel on the left is for my "queen."

Gold leafing!

Finish of the last work in progress I showed.

paint, paint, paint

2007-04-13T15:06:00.000-07:00

Here's the finish of the last one I was working on and some new works in progress. The bottom will be the "queen" of my little demented ladies.
