A Dark Period (My Psychotic Break) pt 1
My art has always been on the darker side, but 2020 has been the year that I really noticed a change in my work. This hasn't been an artistically productive year for me. This has probably been my worst

Prototypes. A Tale of Wire and Srring
During the start of the new year I began dabbling in sculpture. I have a very talented photographer friend. Him and I are in to the same aesthetic, so I proposed a collaboration. I came up with a few sketches

Sketchbook #3
A couple years ago I never would have considered myself a painter. I spent all my free time with a pencil and pen letting my imagination run free. I've found that drawing randomly, much like free writing

Odyssey, The Beginning Of A New Chapter
This will be my last painting for a while. My last piece of watercolor paper is now gone and the wildfires will be starting soon in my area. I feel that it's time I take a step back and meditate on my

🎨 In the dark fores
This is one of many watercolors I made in last years, and still one of my favorite. Despite I moved a bit from this simple approach of presenting portrait and moved to more complex and detailed works,

Iron Giant Vibes
Whenever I have some sort of art block, going back to charcoal always seems to get things flowing again . This is one in a series of 5-10 minute quick charcoal drawings. They all felt very explosive. I

Anatomy Studies
I've been really interested in the artist Frank Frazetta recently. Looking at some of his comic work and book covers inspired me to attempt to emulate his style. If you aren't familiar with Frank Frazetta,

Watercolor work made on beautiful Fabriano 300 gr paper. It has rough surface, but it's poetry working on it. Size of watercolor is 50x50 cm. As I said in some previous post, I love square format. Here

Doodles of the Day
Today I thought I would try something a little different and post a couple pages from my sketchbook. Almost all of my paintings start out here, in ink or pencil. My paintings have become so deliberate
