Twigovi in technicolor

After putting my website design on hold and painting (nearly nonstop)
for the past week, I've finally finished this painting! Whoohoo!
I still might add a few very small details in my spare time, but for the most
part, I'm done. I'm trying to get into this show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery
in Los Angeles. Wish me luck!

Shop Update!

I finally updated my shop.

They're all original paintings, but I plan on adding prints 

sometime in the near future. If you see something you like,

and can't afford the original, email me and we can work

something out. Here are a few of the originals I added.

just a little peek...

As I told you last week, I've been working on re-designing my website.
Mostly on my own, which is really fun, but terribly time consuming.
Here is a little peek at my progress. The screen shots are sketches, 
for the most part. I'm still learning Flash...

Arctic snowfall

José has been learning to make digital environments 

using a program called Maya. This is one of the first ones he created.

This was also his first time working with the green screen. Enjoy.

Hello again

December was kind of rough for me, but I'm back!
I've been working on a few things here and there, but have skipped 
out on the 10+ hours of painting everyday. Things around here might 
still be a bit quite for the next couple of weeks because I'm 
re-designing my website from scratch and updating my store with 
some of the unsold paintings from my solo show. 

Here is a little peek at some things I've been working on lately.

My brother's friend Ben is coming out with a single and he asked me to

make an image for it. I like how it came out. It reminds me of the Grinch :) 

 I started painting this one for a juried art show in Hollywood. 

A bit progress, The deadline for submission is at the end of January.

I drew this logo for Brother Science last night. It was based on a design 

José made years ago. I created the text, refined the design,

and added some of my own personal embellishments. I really love this logo. 

Like a lot.  

and the winner of my December giveaway is...

Congrats Kyle! I will be sending you your prize sometime in the next few weeks. 

Hopefully sooner, but no promises.

Bryan's farewell dinner party

On Sunday, my friend Vanessa and I threw a going away dinner for Bryan 

because he's going to India and Thailand for six months in January

(Dulce de Leche will continue on without him (for the time being).

Vanessa and I slaved away all day and made really yummy avocado enchiladas 

and a creamy New York cheesecake with an Oreo cookie crust.

We also made those awesome elephant hats you see everyone wearing. 

When my grandmother died, she had this really awesome hand-stiched sequin

elephant hat. I thought it would be perfect for Bryan, so he inherited the hat.
