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.

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

MOCA quest

Today I took a trip by myself to downtown LA. I had a lot of fun walking the streets downtown and going to MOCA. It is a Contemporary Art Museum located in downtown Los Angeles. I had to go to write a paper for my art history class and I must say that I really enjoyed the whole trip! I was able to take a couple pics for my blog and even found someone kind enough to take a pic of me while I was in the museum. Until next time.....

Formula Dance Workshop

Lord of Dogtown

I drew this pic last summer of Tony Alva in the 70s. I was watching the movie, "Lords of Dogtown," and got inspired to draw some characters. I really enjoy that flick! Anyways I recently bought a wacom pen tablet for my computer so I wanted to get some practice in. I decided to color this picture I had drawn of Tony Alva! More art to come soon, countdown to graduation!!!!!

Beware of Dark Alleys!

So here is B-boy Wolf in his element. The STREETS!!!! I did this piece for my composition class, I kinda ran out of time since I was spending most of my time working more on the character design then the actual whole composition. But its all good, I had fun! Check it out!!!!

Be Yourself! B-boy Wolf

Well I've started my last and final semester of school and I have so much artwork and projects lined up! Its very exciting! This is part of a project Im working on in my composition class. My character, B-boy Wolf will be placed on a background soon. But first here is my finished character design of him!

Graff One and Spartan

This is the Legendary Graff One from the Shake City Rockers! He did the artwork on my backpack. This is a picture of us at the Street Dance Championships!!! Now that school has started I will have a lot of fresh new art work on my blog! Last semester!!!!!

Miguel Munny

This is a Munny. I got mine years back from comic con. I finally decided to do some art work on it. I went with myself. I tried to make it somewhat resemble myself. I threw on him a button up shirt with a star wars tee underneath. Some true religion jeans and some nike blazer high tops!! I was happy with how it turned out for my first munny!!! Hope everyone is doing well

The B-boy Teen Wolf

This is the head to my character, B-boy Wolf. It's for my final animation project. He is a breakdancin', poppin', and lockin' wolfman!!!!!

Characters based off of friends

These are some background characters for my animation I'm working on in my animation 3 class. I decided to look at all my friends for reference. I think I have a really unique style of friends. They all have their own styles. Its cool. I have more characters that I will post soon. Anyways until next time.....

2PAC and BIGGIE

I drew this picture for a friend who is really into the hip hop culture. I thought what better to draw than two of the greatest rappers of all time! Tupac Shakur and Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. RIP Tupac and Biggie

You all will remember this as the day you almost caught, Captain Jack Sparrow!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!! I had fun dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow!!! I also have posted a picture of one of my character designs for my animation Im working on!!! I've been away from the blog for awhile but I have a lot of new artwork I'll be posting shortly!! Until next time...

The Great Lindsay Poggio

I have not been on my blog since two days before my best friend Lindsay's passing. I was sharing with everyone her amazing coloring skills she had done on my drawing. Lindsay was an amazing artist and most of all, an amazing person. She was so talented and very sweet. She could lighten up a room all by herself. I could write a novel describing all of her great qualities. This school year I had a legendary graffiti artist (Graff One of the Shake City Rockers) do some artwork on my backpack in memory of Lindsay. My backpack says my motto while Im trying my hardest to graduate. "All For Lindsay." I love you Lindsay and miss you very much!!!!

Its all FTK...For The Kids

Whats up to everyone out there in cyber world! Here is another drawing I did at work, its for a little 3rd grader who loves Iron Man!! I thought it turned out well for having no reference at all. I also posted up an old drawing I drew in the begginning of summer of Somaya Reece and myself. My good ol' pal Lindsay got down with her coloring skills by really bringing it to life. This picture will now be used on Somaya's website launching soon, missreece.com. Lindsay does not only color amazing but can draw well too! Check out her blog under my artists section. Thanks again to Lindsay for coloring my drawing and doing an awesome job!!! Until next time....shhhaaaaaa
