Viva!

Remember this?!?!
José and Esau spent two months of their lives editing the 8+ hours
of footage we shot in Las Vegas this past spring. The end result is truly amazing,
and I can't wait to show you peeks from our next project (a short silent film).
Check out this mini documentary and tell me what you think.

Aguecko colored in

I still have quite a while before this one will be finished. The pieces I have been working on for this show coming up in September are over seven times bigger than the series I painted last year. It makes me feel like I'm moving ridiculously slow, and I'm getting nervous about how many I'll actually complete before the end of august...anyway. here is my progress so far, the first layer of color is done, now on to the final layer!

Birthday sneak peek

On Saturday, My friend Vanessa and I created one of my favorite birthday parties ever.

I still have to piece together my favorite photos. Can you guess the theme?

Aguecko WIP

I have been slowly chipping away at this next piece. It always takes a little bit longer when you level up a creature and mark another notch on its evolutionary timeline. The last two creatures I painted did not require as much time and attention, because I had drawn them out months before. Last night I finished the under painting.

I went a bit sketch crazy with the pre production of this one, here is a peek into my process.

Moss Bear's Ghost

The paint is dry, the picture framed, and the first piece in my ghost series is complete! This is the first time I've actually thought out a theme for a show. Last year, was more of a rehearsal. I didn't really have a theme in mind, It was more of a personal challenge. I wanted to become abetter people painter and produce a significant amount of work in a specific amount of time.While this year is not a huge step up from last year (my goal is to build up a catalogue of plants, develop my creatures, and work on creating more depth to my landscapes), I still have the thread of all my creatures being ghosts tying the show together. I'm excited for what is to come!

I've put some color into this painting, and I'm quite 
happy with my progress. I'm hoping to have this painting 
finished by early next week, so I can move on to number two!
