Gallery Nucleus: October Exhibit!

For those who live near Alhambra, CA, go see my newest piece at Gallery Nucleus's "Breath of Embers" Exhibit, starting this October! More info here: http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/exhibition/270

My piece will be up for 250$, signed and dated, and Limited to 15 (signed) prints

The face is definitely not like I want it, but nonetheless, more work!

Finally!

I can finally post this editorial piece I made for GreenSource magazine, commenting on moving from "containment" to "sustainability".

Fiinnaaallly I have something to show! Not much, but a WIP I started last night. You guys might remember the sketch from  this post I made months back. Finally out of school and able to work on my own stuff, yay!

I also have some editorial work i've been doing, which I can post later this month =) enjoy!

UPDATE: Replaced the WIP with the final! Enjoy!

Been ages since I updated, but I am working on things!
Also, using this as my new header. :)

Done with the hand! Also throwing in another piece i did a while back. 100% unhappy with how the guy came out, most definitely change him later on if i use this for anything. But for now, enjoy :)

Those Darn Lefty's

Working on an editorial assignment right now for an article about left handed individuals (of which I happen to be). It talks a lot of the stigma that goes along with being left handed, and for my illustration I decided it would be interesting to add a religious undertone (since much of the negative reputation is religion-based). These two are the WIP's i have so far. I still havent decided if i want the background to be pure white, or to have something going on. I think i may end up adding more vines in the foreground, and more fading into the back, to give a sense that this person is inevitably trapped within a field of bramble bushes (or something to that effect). Either way, its getting there!

Holy scholarship money batman!

Just found out last night that one of my pieces won the 5000$ "in Memory of Arthur Zankel Award!" I am absolutely speechless guys, really! I was thrilled just having my pieces in the show, but this is beyond exciting! For those who are curious, it was my "Wounded knee" piece here:

I still don't think it's quite sunk in yet. There were so many incredible pieces in that show, i didn't expect to get much more than the amazing opportunity to show my work :) I will say though, without everyones unconditional support i probably would not have improved so much <3

Art-wise, i am working on a couple things now, expect some updates in the next week or two :)

Here are some studies for what i HOPE to get out of the next Two pieces I am doing for my Traditional/experimental Mediums class. I guess you could say the theme of this week are Lions and water, but what can i say, it's a pretty awesome combination. c:

Ponies

Heres a new illustration i Did for Tor.com's featured story of "Ponies". I uploaded the sketch this time so you guys can see the changes i make from start to finish :)

For a school assignment, based off a fortune cookie fortune, which read :

"If a true send of value is to be yours, it must come through service."

Medussaaaaa

not as finished as i might like, since i am doing multiple finishes of this drawing. This is the Ink/digital one!

Updates!

The updated pictures of both the swan painting, and the Bison piece :) i may or may not go back into the swan piece, as it doesn't yet feel finished, we'll see!

Still alive and kicking, folks! this winter was very busy for me, and I apologize for not updating as much as I should be (considering its my career to draw, right?) anyway, to make up for my long absence, i'm going to through a bunch of WIPS of my most recent picture for the Department show coming up for my school, themed "Wild West".

I must be afflicted with Art ADHD, with the amount of times i change my mind while working on a piece. ill be sure to upload the final in a few days time! also, if anyone has any east-to-fix critiques they'd like to throw out there, i'm all open (easy to fix because im tired of working on this SOB).

The semester is almost over...

New WIP

New WIP of my acrylic painting final. Arches is now my new favourite paper. Sorry Rives, ya just cant make the cut.

If you cant tell what it is...well, you'll just have to wait until i upload the final ;)

After a long bout of absence, heres a piece i've done recently. For the most part, i think its a step in the right direction! although if i had more time i would definitely change some things =) enjoy!

This is one of those images that could use just one more element, although i havent decided what that is. oh well! this was done for my photoshop/illustrator class, and the assignment was merely an "environment".

i couldnt start to describe what exactly is going on, but i can assure you that it is a large tree and not a bomb going off.

i never know what to write in these posts.
