Bond Street Bar (Asbury Park, NJ) had an ad competition, if they like your ad they'll put it in the Tri City News and you get a free lunch and drink, ha!
Will work for food : ) Plus I love this place. This is the ad that I entered and was in the newspaper last week.

The Johhny Laidlaw Art show: Asbury Lanes

2011-01-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

Here's a portrait I did of m good friend John Laidlaw, he's a bouncer at the Asbury Lanes. I wish I had better pics or pics of it up during the show, fail lol. Anyhow it was a fun project and I did it in oil which I hardly ever use.

Silk screen!

2010-07-23T09:50:00.000-07:00

I'm taking printmaking classes at this studio in Ocean Grove called Social Animal Press. My teacher in Molly Johnson, she's awesome. Fist round, silk screen.... sooooo much fun! I took one of my fashion street portraits and pretty much silk screened it on everything. Here's an example on an article for the NY Times, It totally looks better lol ; ). Next round hoping to get into etching again.

Recently I moved to this small beach town in NJ called Ocean Grove. It has a neat mix of folks here and funky victorian houses. Most unusual of all is the tent city near the Great Auditorium which is a Methodist church. These tents, well the property the tents are on, have been past through generations of families since the mid 1800's, pretty cool. Today I went over to tent city to draw/paint.

I took this photo last year at the Brooklyn Flea in Ft Greene. This year I plan on taking photos every week at the Flea and making drawings. The flea is a lot of fun, very colorful and just a load of inspiration. I'll be posting the photos with the drawings on my blogspot.

Street Fashion: Clinton Hill 2

2008-08-15T15:33:00.000-07:00

A bit different than the first. I used a color pencil instead of a regular pencil to make the drawing, then filled it in with watercolor. I felt like I was missing an edge in the other one. I'm more satisfied with this result and think I will finish the other this way.
Work in progress peeps!

Geese, writing on this thing is sorta like therapy, I kinda know nobody is reading this, but it feels good to write about what I'm doing. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Street Fashion: Clinton Hill

2008-08-11T13:03:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a personal project for my portfolio, it's based on the awesome street fashion I see around my hood in Brooklyn called Clinton Hill. This is an (unfinished) watercolor painting based on a photo I took of a girl I stopped on the street. I'm hoping to have completed 10 paintings within the next few months. Will post them here, then on my website..... then hopefully get art directors interested!!!

Ciao for now : )

Puerto Ricooooooo!

Jon and Yoko, a conceptual portrait. This is my favorite piece I did at school. From my last semester, I was lucky enough to have professor and illustrator Scott Bakal. In one semester I really learned a lot about my work, and how to work. Thanks Proff Bakal!

I know I look sad, just "at home mess" and concentrating. Well maybe a little sad, been having a weird close friends falling out thing. Sigh, life goes on though right?
So I was looking into a mirror on my closet door in my bedroom. Sitting on the hardwood floor drawing and when I tried to get up... OUCH! My arse, an achy little indication that I will be turning 30 in 2 weeks.
~THE PENCIL~ I got this great pencil that inspires me to draw, its called Kimberly 9xxb, I bought it at this little Pratt art store, it rules.

I was incredibly moved at a recent Bjork concert that I attended at MSG. Her vibe and energy was powerful and she had this amazing artistic clarity. I hope to one day make this kind of break through with my own art.

Magical Landscapes

2007-09-26T09:17:00.000-07:00

These are some photos I took at Carlos's boss's house in Erwinna, Pennsylvania. I really like over grown and wild landscapes in the country, there's something really magical and alluring about these untouched spots.

Volver

I really enjoy watching the films by Pedro Almodovar. After seeing Volver's movie poster I was curious to see the others. All were equally as fun and expressive. So I was inspired to make a movie poster for the film Volver. This would absolutely be a dream job.
