This is an illustration of Frida Kahlo that I did last night. It is the first of three portraits I was asked to do by my mentor, Edel Rodriguez. Edel is an amazing artist and I am very excited to be working with him this semester.

Little Red Riding Hood

This is my most recent painting. I decided to illustrate Little Red Riding Hood. I'm putting my oils on the shelf for a while. I think I'm going to stick with acrylics, inks and collage for now. It's a much faster turn over.. and am very impatient, so they seem to work best for me.
This painting was done in acrylic. It's a lot different then what I usually do, and I like it. You'll be seeing more like this.

Portrait Woody Allen and Larry David

Oil on board

I did this last semester and I never scanned it in. I was totally unhappy with the outcome but after months of not looking at it I stumbled upon it and chuckled. That's the point of the whole thing. So I figured I'd let you all have a moment of "what the..?!"

Merry Christmas

comps

I have been working with pastel and watercolor lately. These were done just so I could get a feel for a medium that I felt comfortable working in and that would also give me a fast turn around. So give me some feedback.. which one do you like and why?
