joao ruas did this cool drawing on my moleskin and i think it looks great next to my reinier gamboa drawing. both can draw like nobodies business.

some studies im working on. will show the new paintings soon.

also, i just got some prints done from a piece used in my last solo show. i've been getting tons of positive feedback about this piece, i decided to make a limited edition. check out my store if interested.

opera

so i turn this drawing in and the a.d told me that it was too traditional and romantic. they wanted something more playful and exaggerated. i had to bring the gouache out to do this. i rarely use colors straight out of the tube, but i felt it was needed to achieve supreme saturation.

the story is based on two asian lovers. the a.d wanted me to change the hair to black because he looked too american. i like the blond better. she obviously doesn't watch dragon ball z. the right part of the clouds and the mountains are digital.

also got a copy of this months bang art. everything is in italian, so i am curious what those 3 pages are talking about.

thanks for reading.

O2

here's an illustration about oxygen and life. how did earth develop the conditions to support life. very interesting article. working with art director craig mackie on this one. the O2 is gouache on yupo with digital for the background.

im practicing my pixacao font for my trip to brazil. hopefully i can understand more about this unique font by seeing it in person. right now it all looks like it done by the same person. but im pretty sure they would say the same thing if they see la tags.
