November 5th

Remember remember the fifth of November 

Gunpowder, treason and plot. 

I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

should ever be forgot.

Tree4ALL

Last weekend a few fellow classmates met up to create this elaborate tree stand for our Tree4ALL themed tree. Great picture taken by Dr. Brown.

Giant Gummy Bear

I saw this at Cost Plus, not only do they stock in bulk my new favorite tea Twinings English Breakfast but they also carry gigantic gummy bears in assorted flavors, and how can you go wrong with that.

Marching Band

Marching Band has its place, at a high school foot ball game and rally events. But why for the love of all things pure and decent does it exist at 6:30am!!!!! cant a guy get some peace and quiet...at least until the  the sun is up????

Airbrushing

I use to do airbrush work about every weekend regularly, now not as much. I still love the airbrush medium and pick up the guns here and there. I think this picture was taken 10 years ago (thus the small picture), I was creating Angelina's eyes for a stage prop.

Mr. Incredible

So if any of you have taken Chris Nielsen then you know about this project done in illustrator.
You take a photo of someone, in my case the person in the Mr. Incredible costume at Disneyland and completely recreate it in illustrator using no gradients, no filters, really no special effects what so ever to create amazing artwork. The blend where you see the mesh wire frame is just to show how it was constructed.

Good ol' days of RAW

A few years back... its probably more than a few years.  I use to create these huge set designs for big club events. Our team would all help build these crazy sets and I was able to paint these monstrosities. Here is a sample of one of our stage events.

Family Resemblance

This project was produced in the 2D art class using charcoal. We were to find everyday objects in our home and have each object resemble someone in our immediate family. The composition has a lot of meaning when you discover about why I arranged this piece the way I did.

Fabric

One of the first charcoal projects I've ever taken on was to recreate the draped cloth.
4 hours later this was made and its one of my favorite designs.

Chemical Solidity

Here is a sample of part of the illustrator work done on a medallion project which I like to call Chemical Solidity.

Ceramics Monthly Ad

This ad was designed for one of the ceramic instructors and Santa Ana College in the magazine Ceramics Monthly.

Frisor Salon web design

In Portfolio 168 we designed for a hair salon known as Frisor.
The client wanted to have a design that resembled her personal
style and cultural influence and background. This was my final design.

Coffee Bean Design Contest

Today I found out that I did not win the final design prize for the coffee bean contest.
Here is the artwork I entered and made it in as a semi finalists.

Wildflower

In Portfolio 168 we met with clients and produced this as one of our 3 designs.
I liked it but the clients wanted to go a different direction.
