City of Octavia

This was a painting is a concept for the city of Octavia, described in Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities."

Created under the guidance of Annis Naeem! Thanks for the tips, Annis!

Cozy: wine research.

Caught up with friends in Los Angeles...over many a bottle of wine.

The Brothers Adajar

Created as a birthday gift to my friend, Reinel. He and his wife have two great kids: Superman and Batman. (Not their real names, but their real alter egos.)

Cahuenga General Store

I did this paint study at Cahuenga General Store over the weekend. It's a beautifully designed restaurant/cafe that feels like it was plucked from the old days. From old baskets and pots and pans hanging to the vintage products and pot belly stove. It's a really cool spot that I'd highly suggest checking out if you're in North Hollywood.

Here are the next set of my latest "LifeBoard" studies (storyboards based on things I've experienced.) Hope you guys and gals out in the internets enjoy these!

On-location stuff in Los Angeles

Hello to whoever follows my blog. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but here's a bunch of on-location stuff I've done for a digital painting class I've been taking. Currently trying to sharpen my eye and skills--always looking to get better!
