painting

I’m disappointed or broken my heart because of that sometimes. But that’s why the world is colorful and beautiful. So I’ll leave things I can’t understand and just love what i love and who I love.

I had just started painting again and all the years if holding back...holding it in, caught up with me. California was burning and the demons inside of me were smoldering too, waiting to get out.

Painted with HIMI gouache.

Lost in a crowd of one. The city crawls high. The sounds are intense. Lost in a crowd of just me.

Sketch of a painting I'm thinking about. I think as adults, we have our own ambitions about living on the moon. However, once we have children, we can only yearn to be able to live on the moon with them.

I did this painting in my younger years.

I was always painting dogs, but painted people for the first time in a while.

Mirrors. Shadows. Perception of self. What should have been. Could have been. Still is.

A data dump of emotion and frustration.

My daughter wanted a painting of a forest. This took me two weeks with acrylics.

I want to be inside the raindrop. I want know it. Feel it. Be it. Close containment. Single purpose One direction.  The rush. The thrill. Careening towards the earth. Would be a death race. But the fall is the journey. The crash. The release. Is just the beginning.

An idea I had, to couple semi-realistic versions of the adult Mario characters with the Street Fighter 3rd Strike character select screen.

We all see the world through a different lens. What I see, and express is different then what you will see. Your background is different. Your experiences are different. I know what I see. What about you?

Since I’m new I decided I would update something that shows kinda who I am! :) I made this in 2019 for my art class where we had to make a collage with drawings and words to describe myself. I love the way it turned out so it is for the first page in my current sketchbook.

Just a desert outpost. Brushpens and posca markers on acrylic underpainting.
