Hi!

I must apologize for the lack of posts. But I have a very good excuse. Jorge and I had a baby boy!
It's been a crazy couple of weeks but miraculously we haven't lost him, broken him or dropped him! Yay!
Anyway, I promise to start updating again! It will be a little slower than before, but there will be stuff non the less!
Hugs to all!

POST IT SHOW IN BERLIN!

Hello my cheeky monkeys. So our good friend, Jon Gibson, invited Jorge and myself along with other artists to take part in an ever so interesting show in Berlin for the 2000 Pictoplasma Character Walk. We were given a little packet of post-it's and were asked to draw on them. They'll be part of a larger installation created by artist Jude Buffom.
I chose to doodle out the alphabet with animals as fast as I could. Coolio Foolio! Here they are!

MAD MEN WOMEN part 3

Here's Betty Draper, part three to my Mad Men homage.

MAD MEN WOMEN part 2

Everybody loves Joan Holloway. She's impeccably dressed to go to work every day, never a hair out of place, knows the ups and downs of the business, knows how to polka and she has a rockin' bod. Heres my version of her.

MAD MEN WOMEN part 1

I know Jorge and I are kinda late to hop on board the MAD MEN bandwagon, but we got on anyways. The show is so well designed and their use of color is enviable! It's everywhere, from their props to what their wearing to how the actors are framed in shots.
So as a tribute to the show, I've decided to post up my version of PEGGY OLSON from the show. She started as meek as a mouse but the girl is growing more and more in each episode. She's probably the most interesting character...other than Salvatore of course!
Enjoy :)

Tims Family

Hi guys! Tim Yoon was our line producer on EL TIGRE (and a mighty fine one at that!) He's also a very dear friend and one of the first to find out that Jorge and I are having a baby. Once he did find out he was kind enough to take us out to celebrate at a delicious restaurant (Din Tai Fung...yum!), bought me my first baby book, and would call to check up on Jorge and I every once in a while at the first stages of my pregnancy...you can't get any nicer than that! So in exchange I decided to paint him a little family portrait to say thank you :) This is the outcome, I hope you like :)

Radiating Sun Man

Hello Folksies,
I haven't updated my blog for a while and I have good reasons for it but they're all going to come off as excuses. So without further ado, here is a finished piece I did for an upcoming Kokeshi show at the Japanese American National Museum in June 2009. His name is Radiating Sun Man. He was real fun to paint on. I hope he is to your liking!
