A Race

I was dreaming that I was on a foot race. A total of 38 people participated. I was determined to be first. I was racing against this woman whom I haven't seen before but there is something significant about her. It is still a mystery. As I was running, it felt as though I was running underwater. The resistance against my body was STRONG! I got lost during the last third of the race. Feeling angry and frustrated I continue to find my way out! I climbed through railings after railings trying to get back into the race. I saw that same woman I saw in the beginning of the race who was ahead of me at this point.

I finally caught up and took First Place.

Crossfire

Standing in the middle of a crossfire,
Feeling bullets after bullets nearly piercing me,
Feeling betrayed, neglected, unsure which side I am on,
Finally the shells hit me and I was down,
They started to hit me rapidly one after another like standing under pouring rain,
It was a painless death.

Codajazz Memorial Garden Sketches

My current commission is to design a memorial stone for the new and coming Codajazz Memorial Stone. The theme of Angels will be carried through their 2007 Benefit concert. The event poster will be designed shortly. Here are the sketches originally for a smaller stone. Number one was the winner. However the stone was upgraded to a 4ft by 6ft granite. So here is my progress for the new dimensions.

Dance Magazine

Magazine layout is probably one of my fav. things to do in the Design field. I enjoy the thrill of exhibiting stories with images creatively.

Preview Covers

These are some of my proudest projects at the Star. The cover with the Film guy was a fun paint splattering project inspired by Egon S. It was done on cardboard and other mixed media. The other of Mice and Men was done digitally. I strive for simplicity and I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

2006 Codajazz Campaign

This year I tried creating all the artwork digitally using Freehand and Photoshop as opposed to an original oil painting.

Inspiration

An art campaign that i completed last year in May for the codajazz fund concert.

Commission

Summer Filled Sky was my most recently creation. It was a 4 foot by 6foot in size. By far the biggest oil painting I have done yet. I am definitely looking forward to more opportunities that allows me to paint that big.
