Yet Another Skull.



Watercolor painting of a skull with some roses. When I first did this I loved it and now all I see are mistakes, go figure.

Unicorn. (Sold)



One of my rare fantasy-inspired drawings done in graphite pencil. I like the eyes in this one. They look very gentle.

Monochromatics.





A series of monochromatic watercolors. More simple pieces that make me happy.

Padre Nuestro



More doodles. The writing beside the rosary is the Spanish translation of "Our Father". Graphite.

Rosary



Doodle I did when I was feeling bored in science. Graphite pencil.

Plant Woman



Ah, the drawings I do in math class.
Prisma colors and inked with a regular ball point.

The Heart of the Ocean.


This was my attempt at recreating that drawing from Titanic. I think her face looks kind of wonky, but overall I'm happy with the way this came out. Done in graphite.

Azucar



One of my favorite pencil drawings, though it's much better in full view. A Mexican sugar skull. I love the concept behind these things. I'm quite proud of the rosary as well.

Masjid



Oil painting of that famous Turkish mosque, the name of which I fail to remember. Dedicated to Anne.

El Mariachi



Pencil drawing of a screenshot from Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Good movie. Drawing that guitar was a pain in the ass.

The Manic Street Preachers



Graphite pencil drawing of one of my favorite bands. I highly recommend them.

Hangover


Oil painting depicting a not-so-pleasant Sunday morning after. Colors came out a little redder than they actually are, but whatever.

Nuestra Senora



La Virgen de Guadalupe.
Between finding a reference, sketching, cleaning the graphite, inking, coloring, and finally shading, this drawing took FOREVER, but I'm happy with the outcome. Her face looks very serene.

Eva


Simple oil painting of a woman's back. Nothing really elaborate, but I still like this piece.

Edward Scissorhands


Face is kind of weird, but I love this movie too much for words. Done in graphite.

Cynthia



Naked pin-up drawn in graphite.
One day in math class a few guys were having a contest to see who could draw the best naked chick, and I thought "I could do that."
So here is the result.

Child Drawings


Random doodles done in graphite pencil. My favorite is the little girl drawing a picture.

Carmen (Sold)

Watercolor painting of a woman's face. Done pretty quickly, which is why this looks like she applied her makeup while riding the bumper cars. Reminds me of opera, for some reason, hence the title.

Besito (Sold)

Watercolor painting of a kiss. The hand is my favorite part of this painting.

Ali Gift Art



For my lovely and very foxy friend Ali. The poetry in this is done by her. Done in pencil crayons.

Muerta



This is a drawing I did a few weeks ago of a skull from Dia de los Muertos. Sketched with graphite, then inked and colored with prismacolors. I'm kind of proud of the melting wax.

Apples (Sold)






These are some drawings I did for Darmon's art class. We had to draw a fruit, then the same fruit in halves, quarters, and eighths. It was a good assignment, I got 50/50 for all my sketches.

Ghostmoon.

Watercolor of moon behind red trees. It's actually a lot less dark, but I think the black makes the moon stand out more, which is good.

"You can title this one." -Alicia

Again, this is a lot less dark in the flesh. Mme. Dupaul actually once told me that she liked this one during an Expo Art outing, and it was nice to have someone other than my usual audience give their opinion on something I did. A few people have said to me that they'd like this as wallpaper, but I think that'd be a little overwhelming, unless they just mean on their desktop.

Bloodmoon.

I like the moon here a lot. I just wish the colors hadn't bled so much, it makes the tree branches look kind of furry.

Rainy Forest (Sold)

One of my favorite watercolors of mine. Trees are a lot of fun to paint in watercolors.

Sushi

This is a weird painting. I only realised once I finished it that it was a picture of sushi, and that I didn't actually really like sushi all that much the one time I tried it. A few months later I actually tried some again and liked it a lot, however. This picture is serving as my desktop wallpaper.

Shrapnel

The first painting of what was my kind of more abstract period. The title was only made up about four seconds before posting it, but I do like this piece a lot.

Friends.

I actually drew this earlier this afternoon. Jocelyne wearing her scarf and looking sheepish, Anne pondering and holding a fountain pen, and Kelsey in despair over the loss of her beloved slushi.

Female Centaur (Sold)

One of my favorite sketches. A female centaur observing some butterflies. I'm quite proud of the shading.
