2009 Paintings
"Snowman's Charm" (8x11 Inches):
This snowman has been color dyed to the degree of a snowcone. Don't be fooled by his bright colors, he uses his charm to attract wanderers but I wouldn't want to know what he's up to.
Close Up:
I used a few colors in the eye to add some detail.

I have decided to make some business cards with "Snowman's Charm" as the background, here is the result:
"Elevate Your Mind" (18x24 Inches):
The brain has alot of room to grow, don't stop thinking or it will wither away.
Close Up:
The humming bird on the left took 5 hours to do.
Close Up #2:
Ladybugs protect your gardens from aphids which eat your plants which is why the Ladybugs were put in to show how they protect the mind from harmful or bad thoughts which stop it from growing.

Graffiti
"Milpz Grape Jammer":
Went to Bolinas Beach with my friend, "Jesse Adams", to do a collaboration production and experimented for my first time using spray paint and paintbrushes. Now after trying it out, I almost wish I experimented with paint brushes on walls before because I am able to get some really nice details and also I have a ton of unused bucket paint just sitting in my closet. Jesse helped fill in some colors on my piece and he did some dripping grape jelly details to make my piece look edible (just joking) and more eye popping. I later shaded and did the rendering to make it more 3D. Here is the result:

"Girl Machine":
This piece is called "Girl Machine" and was done at Bolinas Beach. I put a bunch of those annoying abbreviations girls consistantly use in their text messages (G2G, STFU, LOL, ROFL, OMG) to really hype up the annoying factor in a comedic way, but never the less, these colors are still poppin.
Angle Shot:
I wanted to get a shot of the sun shining on it before it went away and made me rush my piece.
Painting Shot:
This piece took roughly 4 hours, would have done more but I got there late so it got dark.

"Nost at Pheonix":
Done at Pheonix Theatre legal walls in Petaluma. This piece says "Nost" which is short for the other two names I write as well which are Nostal and Nostalgia.
Close Up:
I was able to get those "X" marks by holding the spray paint directly on the wall and swiping as fast as I could, great technique I learned.
Painting Shot (Photo taken by Claus Brigmann):
Double outlines make your piece POP OUT IN 3D! WOAH! It would be cool to try that with red and blue paint actually, maybe in future...ok, i'll stop talking now.
Nostalgia at Pheonix:
This was the first time I wrote "Nostalgia" so it was not exactly the way I wanted it, never the less, still pleasable. Very long word, but actual nostalgia is what I use for inspiration so I wanted to write it.
Close Up:
This is my favorite part of my "Nostalgia" piece. The composition is perfect!
Painting Shot (Photo taken by Clause Brigmann):
If you look closely at the sketch.... you can notice a different color scheme, but don't tell anyone, haha.

This shows some of the finer lines I'm learning to do.

Here you can see Jesse painting some grape jelly dripping from my piece with some paint brushes.

Murals
I have always enjoyed painting on canvas since I first started in 2006, but doing murals is like nothing I've experienced before. So much planning and skill goes into murals because the murals can be bigger than you. If you are interested and would like me to make you a mural then contact me on my facebook:

2010 Drawings
"Wasabi Lobby" (8x11 Inches):
A world I have just yet discovered in my brain...I don't know what it is about asians but I always have been obsessed with them and their culture. This drawing is about a asian boy being possed by a wasabi asian girl and you know the rest...haha.

2006 Paintings
"Pee Wee's Candy Corn Nightmare" (36x36 Inches):
This painting is where it all started. I am very happy to know my first surreal painting was of Pee Wee Herman, he literally was my childhood role model but I couldn't be as goofy as him so I decided to paint him being fed candy from a Candy Corn Alien...yes, it's random but I was just starting so you cannot hate too hard.
