Life and Death Art

Update February 10th, 2009

2009-02-10T21:04:00.000-08:00

so its been a while, i got some new scans up on my deviant art page. check there frequently for updates, you can find the link in my links section here. idk if anyone really reads this, i feel like im talking to myself a lot of the time, on the computer and in real life, no one listens to what i say so i should just sew my mouth shut.

anyways...

today in spanish someone was talking about their project on art as i was doodling away on an old test [18/40! on that paper woohoo!] and they mentioned El Greco and how he did a lot of dark art...my favorite! so when i was in the shower i googled him...i take my phone in the shower with me in a plastic bag because im always scared im going to fall and die and no one will hear me so i need to call 911...im paranoid, whatever. anyways, i love El Greco's art! hes great.

i finished working on Alta Vista's play, Seussical JR, it was fun and another good experience to add to my resume.

In the past few weeks i found out that my work has been stolen without permission...shame!

its now under the creative commons license so if you want to use my work just ask or credit me please, and i can be contacted by the email under this post.

i just recently over the weekend created a nude angel which is above, scan coming soon. and im quite proud of her as its my first full on nude, besides the mermaid in the bathtub. this drawing is sort of my rendition of a kat von d sketch in her new book "High Voltage Tattoo"

which reminds me! I MET KAT VON D! woohoo happy birthday to me!

so i wish anyone who reads this much love and light

thanks for the support, i hope you leave some comments on my works.

First artistic job?

2008-12-23T00:09:00.000-08:00

So a wonderful music artist named Kerli has given me this wonderful opportunity to design some shirts for her new merchandise that is out, and now sold at shockhound. So for the past week and a half I have been sketching up some designs, so far i have sent her two, due to my lack of scanner, but im still creating more.
I'm excited to see what will happen, and if this even works out, even if it doesn't, its still a great experience to be able to send the sketches and have one of my hero's eyes look at them. Check back soon for more designs.

Graffiti

2008-11-09T20:06:00.000-08:00

In the past week I have begun to teach myself how to do graffiti, its going over pretty well, i am hoping to find a wall or big piece of wood in my yard or at someone's house where i can practice with actual spray paint rather than my crayola markers or chalk.
I'm improving everyday.

to contact the dead

2008-11-01T21:11:00.001-07:00

she goes to the grave yard at midnight
to see her long lost love just one more time
making contact with the others isn't so easy
she tries everything from tears to ouija
now there's only one way
