The Hermit

 

Beasts & Beats will be doing a new art show on April 7th at Public Works SF. This piece will be featured among other talented artists.

This piece is a contemporary take on the Hermit. It was inspired by one of the Daily Doodlez that I've done previously. The idea of us "shaped like question marks" through a constant search of something meaningful. Many times have I gone to work early just to have a quiet moment to myself.

Obsession for Perfection

Oliver got me a Fabriano sketchbook! It is from Restoration Hardware, which is one of my favorite stores.  I'm super excited to use it. This year instead of writing everything in my journal, I'm going to try draw, whatever I would have wrote about. I can still use words, just not as much. Here is the title page. I hope to learn a lot about myself while doing this. Plus this will be good practice. 

Shall we Dance?

This is the latest painting. It's "the boy with the 4 legs from the previous post's" room. He wishes to be a dancer one day. He looks up to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. I based this character off of my brother who does ballroom dancing competitively. I usually spend my homework time on the train, sketching to and from work. 

Meet the Family

Working, school, boyfriend, and two puppies are kicking my butt these days. As tired as I am, I'm happy I am busy with these things. I'm learning so much in my Saturday class. It's taught by an alum, Ruben Perez, and it's always amazing watching him paint. The following images is from our current project. It was a Halloween assignment where we had to develop relatives to the Addam's family. My goal, was to have all these characters look like they are related. I wanted them to be odd, but still have normal qualities.

Aside from all this, there a few personal projects that I'm slowly working on. I'll be creating some journals/sketchbooks for friends, developing a comic strip "A Tail of Two Puppies", and working on a Christmas card to send to friend and family. Eventually I'll be starting on my Master's thesis, but for now it's still in the brainstorming stage. 

Clean, colorful, house castle?

         

Fly-Fishing

Life is hectic as always! Work, other work, then some life, two puppies, and now finally school. Here is some ideas/sketches for the first project.
