Bushwick Zombies

Digital piece for The Deli Magazine. 

¡Sin Suerte!

Photoshop and pencil. I read Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon every spring, and as a result I end up putting banderillas in my backs of whatever I'm drawing.    I included some pictures of my process for this one. My main concern was to maintain the feel of my initial line work.  I'm trying to develop a quick digital process where I add color at the end after most of the values and the focal point are established in grayscale. Enjoy.

Digital and some traditional pieces.

I've been neglecting this blog, for some reason my Tumblr seems easier to update.  But that's an excuse isn't it?   Here's a big update to bring this thing up to date.  I've been experimenting with different digital techniques lately.  It's fun but I miss painting.  I'm been trying to create a digital look that has some energy in the final product.  A lot of digital pieces (including some pieces below) are too polished for me. I'm still messing with it, I hope my attempts might help you on your artistic journey. Enjoy!

lazy blogger ≠ lazy illustrator

I've been busy generating new work, but I've been bad about posting it. This blog is due for a massive post that justifies six months of nothing. These are all acrylic on wood or paper. Enjoy.

boba funk speed painting

Here's a new speed painting.  I call it that only because the video is condensed,  this painting took several days to complete.  I learn the most from other painters when I can observe their process-I hope these videos are helpful or at the very least interesting.  Oil on board.  Enjoy.
