La Dolorosa

Hey gang...sorry I've been quiet the past couple of weeks. I had a really good excuse though! Finishing this painting! It's been a looooong time since I've painted something in my "old school" style, but I really loved how it turned out. I used to say to myself, "When things get rough in life, that's when my best paintings would come out." Well here's the fruit of one those times! I also included the sketch I worked off of as well as the detail of the face (which took FOREVER to do. I think about at least 10-12 hours of work alone, including screw ups). The photo doesn't really do it justice because it totally obliterated a lot of the subtle, transparent overlays. Sooo...if you want to see it in person, you can check it out at the following exhibit: Tigers & Jaguars: LA's Asian-Latino Art Phenomenon .

Potpourri

Hey gang, it's been a while. Busy busy busy! Anyways, I've been doing background painting for various studios for a little over a year now and it's been great fun! I've learned an assload and hope to keep on improving. Anyways, here's a sampling of some of the backgrounds i've had the opportunity to paint up this past year.











And yeah, don't worry, ORIGINAL Jerry artwork is coming sooner than you think...it's about that time for my yearly traditional painting! When I start this painting, I'll actually go through the step by step of how I start from sketch to final paint. The painting part will start next week and will have to be done before the end of june since it's going into a show. More on that later! So I'll put up pictures of my process for those who are curious.

Cutting Room Floor

Yeah yeah, billion years since the last update. Things have been quite CRAZY on my end so hopefully i'll have more crap to post. Until then, here's some commercial break cards that I did at Six Point for the show we're doing on MTV. I'm kind of relieved that the commercial break card concept got cut 'cause we're on such a crazy schedule as is! Anyways, I digi-painted these over layouts by Matt Danner and Sah...enjoy!

The Little Mermaid

Yay, first painting of 2006! OH YEAH! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
