It's Alive!!!

I've been working on this private commission lately. Lots of fun painting Karloff as Frankenstein's monster. I love the Universal classics.

Book Illustrations

I'm in the middle of working on illustrations for a children's picture book that will hopefully be finished by the end of July. A lot of work but also a lot of fun. They're made with watercolors which I don't work with often enough.

Art Slam Painting-Star Wars Villains

This is the painting I sold Saturday night for the Art Slam held at the White Rabbit. Sorry for the poor quality of the image. That's five hours of fast, intense painting and I loved it! I'm definitely going to be participating in those more often.

Monuments of Man

 Mural Art copyright Community Cultural Arts Organization.

Pictured above is one of two connecting mini-murals set between the larger primary murals titled "The Monuments of Man" designed and painted by Alex Rubio and myself in 1989 at the Mirasol Courts while working for the Community Cultural Arts Organization. The housing project underwent a major renovation a few years ago but the murals were not preserved. Below are the three primary murals.
