Green Lantern Friends

Here is all of the friends Ive done so far in my Green Lantern project.  That's my close friend Nick Hines in the yellow as Sinestro.  In the comic Sinestro has purple/pinkish skin so I also made Nick's skin that color.  Ill be posting a lot more artwork soon.  I have a lot of costume designs for dance productions that became realities.  Also more sketch book art and also t-shirts designs.  So please check back soon!  Hope all is well!

Green Lanterns

I created myself and friends as characters from the Green Lantern comic universe.  Green Lantern is one of my favorite comic books at the moment.  I have to give it up to my friend Chris Lewis who helped me out a lot with some coloring tips.  Check out my friend Chris' work by clicking his name under my skillful artists section.  Other Lanterns I created on here starting from under mine, from top to bottom, is Chris Lewis, George Gomez, Nick Hines, and Garrett Wilson.  They are all close friends and family. Ill be sure to be back soon and I hope everyone is doing awesome!

Sketch Book Fun

I have been working on many drawings since Christmas and my new years resolution is to draw more than ever before! I usually have friends ask to see my sketch book and ask me to put some of my sketchbook drawings on my blog.  Well, here are a couple drawings I did in my latest sketchbook for fun.  The first is a pencil sketch of the KRAKEN from the new Clash of the Titans movie.  The second is funny drawing I did out of frustration with my phone, (old iphone 3G), never working right or getting reception.  I sometimes feel like I want to fight my iphone! So that is how this sketch came about.  I never really color with color pencils but I went for it on this one.  I will have a lot of artwork posted soon so check back frequently friends! Hope everyone is enjoying the new year.

Head Sketch Practice

I have had the privilege of sitting down and getting to know amazing artist Dennis Lewis.  He is a phenomenal artist and art instructor.  Check his blog out under my skillful artists section. He sent me on my way after our awesome meeting with a mind full of useful tips and tricks of the trade.  He also let me borrow a book that has changed my outlook on drawing the human head.  I learned a lot while in college but feel this book has helped me further my skills.  The book is called, "The Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing The Head," by William L. Maughan.  Although I have noticed many mistakes, I have posted some of my early sketches I have worked on while reading this book.  I have also posted the cover of what the book looks like.  Thank you so much to the Amazing Dennis Lewis!  Im excited its Halloween Week and I have a lot in store with dance, drawing, and dressing up!  Until next time....

If Only He Heard the Ice Cream Song

So I saw this crazy youtube video of this absent minded guy that thought it would be cool to dance around in the street while traffic was coming towards him.  Watch the link to see the outcome, then check out my cartoon drawing I created after watching the video.  Ice Cream trucks will never be looked at the same! haha

Photo Shoot with RC Jones!

Had a fun day in downtown Fresno with my friend Ryan C Jones.  He is an amazing photographer, check out his work by clicking on his link under my "skillful artists" section.  Thanks again to Ryan Jones for capturing such good shots of me doing what I love to do, dance and listen to music.

Air Dancer

I have been getting back to my comic book roots practicing my pencil and ink drawings.  Here is a pic of a dancer I drew in mid air.

Here's my card

So I have been asked numerous times for a card when dealing with people interested in my art or dance choreography. So I figured its time to let people walk away empty handed no more. I wanted to create something simple yet still artistic and still ME. I sketched these head drawings first and came about with the final design that you see above. The colored logo above you is the back of the card. Whats that? How does the front look? Well I guess some mystery is left for those until you find me! Take care everyone and more art work up soon.

The Early Beast Logo Designs!

Ive been away from my blog for awhile but I will be posting lots of drawings soon! I finished up working on this logo for my buddy's hip hop website called, "The Early Beast." Be on the lookout for that site soon. Here is the drawing of the beast and one of the finished logos.

Its NOT a TOY! Its an ACTION FIGURE!

Whats up everyone!?!?! I have been having a nice spring break and I hope you have too! When Im not drawing or dancing I really enjoy going on missions looking for my favorite characters as action figures. Its been over ten years since Ive been on the hunt and Ive seemed to have collected around 300 action figures! Decided to take a pic of my collection thus far! Enjoy!

Kiera

These are some character concept designs for an illustration project im working on for a friend. The story is based on a little girl who has dyslexia and is going to save the world. It takes place in the future so I was playing around with what maybe a young girl would be wearing in the future.

Live Long and Prosper

I hope everyone had a very Happy New Years! Ive been getting back on the grind with artwork, acro, and dance! I recently got Star Trek on blu ray and enjoyed watching it! Here is a sketch I did of the Vulcan man himself, Spock!

Sugar Plum Fairy for Nutcracker

Hello Everyone!!
I have been busy teaching dance and doing art! This Christmas I got the cool opportunity to design a sweatshirt for one of the dance studios I work at. All About Dance Studio in Madera, CA is putting on a cool show called, "The Nutcracker, All Jazzed Up." It is the story of the Nutcracker but with all dance styles. My hip hop classes get to get down in it also! This Sugar Plum Fairy character design will be featured on the sweatshirt for this years show.

Munny Munny Munny....MUNNY

Here are some of the latest Munnys I have done for friends. I did the bride and groom for my friends wedding. They were used as their cake topper. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Zephaniah House. The other Munny was done for my friend Joey, he wanted his head with the superman suit on. Anyways, I have been away from my blog for awhile but will post more drawings shorty. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

True Colors to Mantis Drawing

Praying Mantis Shaolin Kung Fu

I created this drawing awhile back and had a character based off of myself in mind. He is wearing clothes similar to what Im usually teaching dance in. I thought it would be cool to have him in a kung fu stance ready to fight, so I chose my favorite Shaolin Kung Fu style, Praying Mantis! Thank you to Keith Brandon who colored it on photoshop for me! Also these are not the original colors that go with the drawing, Ive been trying to upload different versions and it keeps coming out in these colors.

Its Been A Long Time, I Shouldnt Of Left You....

I teach dance everyday of the week at multiple studios and I am currently working on many art projects!! I will get more art on here in no time!!! I leave you with this fun poster I created in photoshop!! Spider-Sense Tingling!!!

B-boy David vs B-boy Goliath

This was my last project for my composition class. I decided to go with the biblical story of David vs Goliath. But I wanted to put my own twist on it so I made them b-boys! This picture was taken with the iphone the morning I turned it in. Sorry its not the best quality. Lots more artwork on its way!!! Almost time to graduate!!

Be Like Water my friend....BE LIKE WATER

I have been working on this painting of the great Bruce Lee. But I have not had time to finish it since I've been busy with school and work. I decided to throw up what I have so far. Hopefully after school is out I will be able to find time to complete this. "Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all the heavenly glory" - Bruce Lee
