Phones

Some new pieces I did for a up an coming company. I have always wanted to see my artwork on products, I think my art works perfectly for phone cases.

Bam!

Enigma

Versatility is showing

Had fun with these! I wanted to minimize color and theme. I wanted to do something fun and Iconic, Im pleased how they turned out. I want to do 100 more of these! Enjoy...

Pretty things

Something a little feminie, I thought that the blog was looking to masculine. I really like the way this turned out.

ARRRRrrrrrrrr

Working on a children's pirate book, its going to real cool when its done.

Pirate's on the way

Here is some new artwork! Enjoy..

How the world looks at night

Here are more backgrounds for Pinata y Chicles. Im becoming more and more addicted to drawing backgrounds. It really comes to life when my characters are in this world.

This is just a wide shot of the world, ah Chuck Jones influence.

Untitled Zombie game

Here is something that is currently in the works. So much to say about this project but I will explain more as more details come to me. Enjoy

City coming to life

Some more Pinata y Chicles key art. Its all coming together beautifully! Im really loving the direction that it is going in.

42 Kings in progress

I am all about showing progress, here is a logo I am working on for some real talented guys. When you think about hip-hop and its essence these guys are the living embodiment of it. They have great rhymes with message to back it. Do your ears and your soul a favor, and click on the tittle of this post and look up 42 Kings.

A Hell to Call My Own

This was a fantastic opportunity, It gave me the chance to work with some real talented people. It started with a drawing and by just putting my work out there, this was created. I had no idea how I was going to do this, I learned so much as I went along. Thanks Killa Robot, thanks So Many Wizards, Jason Tovar! I see a bright future for us all!

A snipit of things to come

Here is a snippet from the game im working on. Nothing is final yet, what I am showing you is the blueprint to how gamesa re made. Its a constant process of building and rebuilding, its so gratifieng seeing ones art come to life.

Botic

I had this done a while ago, but I never posted it. I can picture this guy just kicking ass in a game.

Pinata Y Chicles chillin in the kitchen

Comic book in progress!

I know I should not be showing these pages, but who cares Im really excited about this comic book I am working on. Finally I get put all my passions together! I get to draw, direct, write all in one project! The colors are far from final, and some of the frames I plan on changing but I really like the rawness of the inking. Im 15% done with the book, I had no idea how complicated this process was. Big up to all my favorite comic book artist and writers. Joe Quesada, Jeff Loeb & Tim Sale, Frank Miller, Michael Bendis, Bill Sienkiewicz, Mike Mignola to name a few of my favorites.

Aint it all good!

Im working on making my own online games! The ball is rolling on this project, I cant wait to show more work!

Wow what a great year for potential, being an artist is a crazy thing! There has to be something a little wrong with you to be one. To constantly dream, and never wake up. Its like living on a cloud, ideas fuel these clouds..... almost all clouds just dissipate and vary few go on to a join a bigger cloud. When you latch on to that giant cloud is when you have made it! I will let you all know how that cloud feels one day.

Pin-ups

Had fun with this one, I borrowed a lot from one of the best one to who ever did it George Petty.

There is no official George Petty site so if you click on the tittle it lead you to google's image section. Its a shame that there is no official site but millions of new websites dedicated to some short lived celebrity.

Hell Storyboard

Here is Hell story-boarded, the tittle has changed from Untitled: Hell to "Nico" performed by So Many Wizards. They are a great band, you have to do yourself a favor and click on the tittle of this post. Real talented guys, Im glad to be a part of this colaboration of great talent.

This is just a rough, im real excited about this project... its subject to change but for the meantime.... Enjoy....

Pinata y Chicles

Here is another one for my upcoming cartoon.

Ephemeral

This comic book idea started with on word, I head the word Ephemeral and just wrote the hell out of it. Ive always wanted to write my own comic book, and finally I have the chance to do so. Ephemeral means something that only last a day or is short. So The story is a relationship fleeting.

I wanted to show the process, I love the way the drawing turned out.

Welcome to Hell

This is a world that has been playing in my head for a while. Im going to animate this bad boy... its coming soon.

Cover

My drawing chops is something I have been focusing now-a-days. I keep having flashbacks of my Art Center days when I used to figure draw all day. I like the way this one came out, the color is off, but I still like the way it turned out. Enjoy...

Pinata y Chicles better than finding cash in your old jeans!

Here is a new one from my future cartoon. This one was fun to do! Im going to will this bitch to life!

This is all a reference from my past, I seriously had a wall filled with comic book art. It was named "Marvel Comic Book hall of Fame". I remember the overwhelming feeling my brother and I would feel as we where driven to the comic book store. He would dive to the bottom shelf where the bunk comics like Namor and Luke Cage where, and I would look at the top shelf for Spider-man, and X-men, Wolverine. But to give him credit he did introduce Spawn to me!

Quickie

I was waiting for Entourage to start at 10pm and while It was on I felt like sketching, I went on and on and at one point said forget tv, lets take this one to the end. I did this one freestyle no pencil sketches, this type of drawing really helps build drawing chops. It makes one decisive and makes you think fast. I dont mean to brag about how fast I completed this, I am just saying that doing this everyday makes you confident and fast.

Monsters

I did a series of quck drawing to warm up. Enjoy...

Promo piece

Enjoy...

Word of Mouth!

Here is a new painting I did for a show this July 17th. Its called WOM Word Of Mouth. Its a great underground building in the outskirts of Los Angeles. The show is a blend of great music and upcoming artist. Enjoy...

Go get em'

Here is a T-shirt I designed for HipHopDX. This was a great opportunity to work with some really cool guys, the art director of this project is a trend setter and to have some of my work connected to him is a privilege. I got paid to do some hip hop related work! Nice. I really like the way these t-shirts came out. I got my shirt, go get yours. Click on the link above.

Comic Cruise

I wanted to show the process on how a illustration comes to life. The piece below is what the direction that the art director wanted to go. It was intended for a comic cruise during Comicon. Its a dark piece but it turned out to be a great piece.

The illustration below is my first go at it with colors. I lightly laid it out and I intentionally did not built up. I wanted to show the art director its potential, object placement. Its a light piece, this is what I would imagine a boat cruise to look like.

This is the sketch, I tried to get it as tight as I could. I do not like sending rough sketches to art directors, it lowers the back and forth changes.

I like to give as much variations to directors as I can. I like to attack angles, placement and size variations. The more the better especially since its pencil and it doesn't take long to redo.

Overall this was a great assignment. Its awesome how we all meet really great and cool people in our journey. The art director is a cool guy but now I even consider him a friend.

Shark attacks

This is how its done son!

This one was fun to do! I made a video out of this one. To be honest when I started this one out I thought to myself, just another image. After recording the whole process and making a video of it I am now attached to this one. The original is going to be sold at a show I will be in, man I do not want to sell it ha ha ha. Crazy to see how this one was conceptualized. Click on the title please! Enjoy...

Im on a roll, Im saying this right now.... Im going to put all these images in a book!

Gasp!

I did this piece with a untraditional dimension in mind. It had me stumped, and finally it hit me! Bam this image ensued. The dimension of the image and thinking how am I going to fill it makes me think logically which is the total opposite side of the brain when creating a image. To be honest when the two sides meet... a beautiful image occurs. Its no accident that I'm thinking about the sea life right now while the biggest oil leak disaster is occurring. Enjoy...

For art directors sake, I added some text to the image.
