Fish out of water(working title)

2011-11-03T08:42:00.000-07:00

It's something that I'll be doing for the nex "round" of pieces. Not meant to replace what I do but as an addition to.
It's mix media on wood. The piece is a cut out. Not the best photo but it's what I have for now.

24"x36" on wood

2010-08-06T13:04:00.000-07:00

Almost done, well, drawing and painting wise it is but the next step usually doesn't show up on photos.
I pour a semi-gloss water based over my pieces that adds texture as well as really bring out the colors.
Some times I paint on top of that for some layering. Again, this isn't the best photo but it gives you a good idea of
what's going on.

They all have more of my work that is exclusively sold through them. Here are there links if interested, www.galeriayemaya.com and www.matregallery.com

2009-05-01T19:44:00.000-07:00

Lately I've found myself looking a lot at his work as well as some of the other bay area artists. This is a quick product of that.

left over paint

2009-05-01T19:42:00.001-07:00

This a quick sketch on duralar that I did with some left over paint from a recent painting. I couldn't let it go to waste! I did a few others but they don't fit in my scanner.

something new

2009-04-21T17:27:00.000-07:00

Here are some new pieces that I just finished. They are 7"x7" mix media on wood. I know, not very big but I'm planning on doing an ongoing series throughout the course of a year of the same subject matter and size. I'll be doing other works as well of course.

These are going to PR for my show on May 14th.

The big pieces for May

2009-04-09T13:22:00.000-07:00

Not the best pics of the work but you get the idea. I even threw in one with my eldest daughter posing with the biggest one of the bunch. For some reason she wanted me to take a picture of her with the piece...who am I to argue with such cuteness. Anyway, that piece is 24"x48" on canvas and the others are 24"x36" on wood.

More for may

2009-03-16T14:07:00.001-07:00

Not really posting all of them till May but here are some more from the series. Some of the photos aren't the best, hopefully I'll have some better ones soon. These are all mix media on wood.

Sorry...I watch Spongebob with my girls and I couldn't help it. Although I did watch it before they were born...ha!
Anyway, here are some jellyfish drawings that I made last night. Most are pen+brush and ink. Others are pencil.
I've wanted to do something with them for quite some time now, something about their grace and deadlyness that I find interesting. Very mysterious creatures. That and many things as well, growing up in PR i've had my share of stings. Almost planted by face into one this past vacation, not on purpose of course.

I'm submitting them(and others) to http://thebrothersink.com/

Playing with knifes

2009-01-15T14:18:00.000-08:00

During my vacation I decided to play around with wood carving and my wife's aunt(retired art teacher that knows such things) told me to practice first with soap or a candle to get a feel for the tools. Haven't had a chance to carve anything out of wood yet but here is a little guy that I made out of a candle.
