Eagle Warrior

Olvera Street Doodles

Bryce Canyon, Utah

I was going through some old photos when I came across these. I remembered I had taken these with the intention of merging them all one day. This, before I knew that photoshop could do it for you in a matter of seconds rather than hours, (how I was expecting to put these together). I took this trip like 2 years ago, right after I graduated. This was my first stop on a one week road trip that I took across the southwest.

The columns you see below are called "Hoodoo's." As wikipidea explains it: A hoodoo (also tent rock, fairy chimney, earth pyramid) is a tall thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos are composed of soft sedimentary rock and are topped by a piece of harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects the column from the elements.

Bryce Canyon is a must, if you ever want to check out some AWESOME landscapes. Notice the storm, off in the distance sweeping across the plateau.

Rotten Apples....

Here are a couple of apple studies done in oil that I did way back when I was at Art Center. We had to paint one painting a week, so I have a huge stack of these that have not seen the light of day for a few years now. The theme I chose? Apples of of course.

ITS BEEN A WHILE.........

So after hearing from a couple of people that I needed to post something (Whitney) and realising that it had been months since my last post, I brushed up this piece that I did at Bob's work shop a while back.

DCP SUNSET

Thanks again guys and gals for the good times. I couldn't have had a better team to be a part of. This is one of the final sunsets from the view I had at my desk.

OLDIE BUT GOODIE

I found this one laying around my desk. 

BLACK BOOK SESSIONS

I started to clean up my place since it was such a mess and stumbled upon my old "black book." Most of these date back to 2002, back when I was up to no good causin' trouble in the neighborhood...........

Chimney Sweeper

So I realized that I havent posted in a good while. I had these laying around meaning to put them up. I even had them scanned and ready to go, just never "got around" to it. So here we go again.....

Lightning Mc Queen Jack-o-lantern

So this year I decided to carve up something a little more familiar, my good friend Lightning McQueen. 

Castle

I started this painting in Bob's class as one of his assignments. I then decided to push it further along and do something with it. It just so happened that my bro was taking a matte painting class and had a cool matte painting book, so that inspired me to give it a shot and this is where its at up to right now.

Hecho Latino on Dallas TV show

Check out the Hecho Latino Clothing line on a Dallas Texas TV show. My bro and I worked on this line a while back, and its finally getting released.  My bro, being a graphic artist created all the graphics (text) on the shirts and I created all the artwork. Pretty cool stuff. The Hecho Latino line is the second company mentioned, about 2 minutes into the video.

HECHO LATINO CLIP

Figure Drawings

Huntington Botanical Garden

Painting from the outing we had at DCP, not too long ago. It was started off traditionally and finished of digitally.

Vince Robbins

Another Monday night painting from Bob's class. I busted this one out from my head. BUT, as I was painting it I noticed that it started to look more and more like a former instructor that I had over at Art Center. Even Bob agreed, that it was indeed, Vince Robbins. He always wore a black T shirt, and had the craziest hair color combos, some times white, some times blond, sometimes half and half, and so on. Good guy though...
