-"ROSIE"

This evening I tried my hand at doing some makeup, this is the first time that I have tried anything like this...It was fun, messy and skin sucks to work with but its something that can be overcome by practice. I also made the hair piece which is a prototype for my new brooch "ROSIE."..The sculpt took to my concept so I think its time to mass produce...All in all it was a great Halloween, nice and chill!!!

Everyone be Safe out there...

This is WICKED SCARY!!!



This is my new favorite movie, what can I say...One of the biggest influence in my life is scary/horror movies...I was fed horror flicks as a child, my grandma was obsessed. her shelves were filled with endless titles of classic horror...But this flick is on a whole other level of creepy! The fear feels very organic, I spent 90% of the movie with chills running up and down my spine...Not for the faint of heart, it will definitely leave you with a sleepless night....

Two thumbs up!!!

"Oldie but Goodie"


I also like to do religious work...After the Mother Teresa I did for my mom...I wanted to do something that I had always grown up seeing...Of course Lady of Guadalupe came to mind. Living in Catholic/Hispanic environment she made many appearances through my childhood...If just felt natural to illustrate her, and the end result was something I enjoyed looking at, to this day she is beautiful to me...(Pardon the EGO)...My technique could always use work but the natural progression of the panel really evolved into a piece with hidden tonal meanings...I think this was also the first time I had worked with gold leaf, its like learning to draw all over again...

-I'm rambling...

Enjoy

"ROSIE"



The Big HURT was kind enough to roll by Silver Skate Shop and snap a flick of my piece, I really want to start painting again...It felt like a void was filled when I had a can in my hand much different then using a can for a fine art piece, got love freedom!!!

"Silver Skate Jam"















It was a nice day to paint...I met up with my girl Dre and we embarked to silver skate shop for a day of painting. She was a doll and helped with all the fills...Bless her heart for putting up with my intolerance...But we braved thru and the end result was better than I hope...It was also good to paint with NESE (CHE), CHALE, SMUG...Everyone put down equally, I'll be posting a flick of the entire thing NESE's piece was on point as usual...
I've been working on this new character in my world, I'm calling him "Rosie." He's a half skull half rose...He was born in my home room in middle school..There were these kids that would doodle old school roses and lowrider rims...I always envied them so much I could never get them to look like theirs...I eventually taught myself..In a way it pushed me to work harder on the rims and the roses...Any who, all in all it was a great weekend, I haven't picked up a can in awhile, so to get down on a wall, it felt good just to chill and freestyle a piece...
-One love to all four elements...
