DB_1.5 & SF_2.0



for those that haven't seen, i finally took down my 2-yr-old turd and put up a splash page until i finish my site redesign. i also had to show the creative director in SF some samples of work that i've done in AKQA DC, so i whipped up a mini-portfolio site for that. lizinks:

Mr. Cabege drop'd me a line back in Dec informing me how his roommate was looking for someone to do a painting for him. I was like I'ght, and he passed my connect and the link was made. Long story short-his roommate wanted a 4x5 ft painting of a romanticized/conanish version of himself, standing behind a dead lion he just battled, a hot brunette at his side, and somehow include a bull and bear fighting (via: wall streetish). Sign me up! The time line was pretty much a month, he wanted to have this painting for his birthday party which is today. His birthday is actually Feb 18 but he wanted the party to be on on a Sat, but ironic enough, today is "my" birthday haha...funny.
So yeah after running through the description, the imagery developed pretty fast in my mind and I took it to paper. After two sketch roughs and a down payment, the project took off (around Late Jan). After say about two weeks on the grind, I knocked it out and sent it off. All in all it was pretty intense/challenging/interesting. I never did an oil painting at that scale and cause of this project I'm amp'd to do more around that scale. It me made discover some of my technical flaws I need to work on, help gage how fast i can paint certain things, and how much ground I can cover with certain tools. Fun stuff!!! So now its done, here the flics.

the piece, 4x5ftthe sketchthe detailsthe piece again right before I rolled it up and sent it out, (notice the pencil size)

C215 RED PROJECT

Back in late 2005 I was asked by Christian Guemy (C215) to contribute a full color spread to his new book that he was putting together. Christian is a French artist/poet based in Europe, as far as the concept behind the book, he gave invites to a range of artist, and had provided each a poem(he had written) and asked each artist to depict the content in whatever would see fit. The only guidelines being that it had to fit the size provided and have the color red Incorporated in the imagery. Over a year later the book was finalized, and a copy was sent to each of the participating artist. I just received my copy today! Stoooked! more info HERE
