Bryce Canyon, Utah

2009-04-30T11:12:00.000-07:00

I was going through some old photos when I came across these. I remembered I had taken these with the intention of merging them all one day. This, before I knew that photoshop could do it for you in a matter of seconds rather than hours, (how I was expecting to put these together). I took this trip like 2 years ago, right after I graduated. This was my first stop on a one week road trip that I took across the southwest.

The columns you see below are called "Hoodoo's." As wikipidea explains it: A hoodoo (also tent rock, fairy chimney, earth pyramid) is a tall thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos are composed of soft sedimentary rock and are topped by a piece of harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects the column from the elements.

Bryce Canyon is a must, if you ever want to check out some AWESOME landscapes. Notice the storm, off in the distance sweeping across the plateau.

Rotten Apples....

2009-04-19T11:29:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of apple studies done in oil that I did way back when I was at Art Center. We had to paint one painting a week, so I have a huge stack of these that have not seen the light of day for a few years now. The theme I chose? Apples of of course.

ITS BEEN A WHILE.........

2009-04-16T00:36:00.000-07:00

So after hearing from a couple of people that I needed to post something (Whitney) and realising that it had been months since my last post, I brushed up this piece that I did at Bob's work shop a while back.

BLACK BOOK SESSIONS

2008-12-23T17:50:00.000-08:00

I started to clean up my place since it was such a mess and stumbled upon my old "black book." Most of these date back to 2002, back when I was up to no good causin' trouble in the neighborhood...........

Chimney Sweeper

2008-12-18T17:59:00.000-08:00

So I realized that I havent posted in a good while. I had these laying around meaning to put them up. I even had them scanned and ready to go, just never "got around" to it. So here we go again.....

So this year I decided to carve up something a little more familiar, my good friend Lightning McQueen.

Castle

2008-10-25T09:53:00.000-07:00

I started this painting in Bob's class as one of his assignments. I then decided to push it further along and do something with it. It just so happened that my bro was taking a matte painting class and had a cool matte painting book, so that inspired me to give it a shot and this is where its at up to right now.

Hecho Latino on Dallas TV show

2008-10-20T23:03:00.000-07:00

Check out the Hecho Latino Clothing line on a Dallas Texas TV show. My bro and I worked on this line a while back, and its finally getting released. My bro, being a graphic artist created all the graphics (text) on the shirts and I created all the artwork. Pretty cool stuff. The Hecho Latino line is the second company mentioned, about 2 minutes into the video.

Vince Robbins

2008-08-26T00:52:00.000-07:00

Another Monday night painting from Bob's class. I busted this one out from my head. BUT, as I was painting it I noticed that it started to look more and more like a former instructor that I had over at Art Center. Even Bob agreed, that it was indeed, Vince Robbins. He always wore a black T shirt, and had the craziest hair color combos, some times white, some times blond, sometimes half and half, and so on. Good guy though...

2008-07-03T00:08:00.000-07:00

This is my first actual live digital painting of a model. It's really a fun and mess free way to go about painting a model. It was actually so fun that I missed my 2 o' clock meeting, dohh.
