Figure Studies Sketch Book

If there would be one thing that I miss the most about the Illustration department at the University of the Arts it would definitely have to be my figure anatomy studies. What was first welcomed with the painfully awkward feeling of looking at someone naked, quickly became one of my favorite practices. The human figure for me is one of the most interesting subjects to capture, so when my four years came to an end I decided to independently continue my studies in the shape of a small sketch book. Here are a couple of it's pages.

"Pride" - Portrait Commission

This is a portrait of a young marine by the name of Juan Torres who found me after viewing some of my work on the profile of a mutual friend. Needless to say I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Not only because Juan was wonderful to work with, but also because I've been trying to add more "male" portraits into my portfolio and this job worked perfectly.

Happy Valentine's Day!

If you haven't already give your mom a big hug, your significant other a big kiss, and if your single like me throw rocks at all the couples you see walk by. So in honor of all that is hearts and Hallmark, I leave you with a quick sketch I did this morning of the love of my life Ms. Lady Gaga.

Took a While, But I'm Here...

After searching endlessly for HTML codes and what have you, I'm finally ready to get this thing going. I'm glad to have a space to lay out all the ideas that are floating around in this head of mine.

The piece above entitled "Dust" is one of my most recent. It's a portrait of an up and coming Latino Vocalist, Artist, and friend Angel Sanchez. Working with a more neutral color palette was a bit of a challenge for me, but in the end I couldn't be more happy. The results of breaking habit I guess. The piece was featured in F.U.E.L Gallery's Grand Small Works last month.
