Alex Rubio & Vincent Valdez @ The Museo Alameda

A week ago, I had the privilege to be able to tour the artwork of Alex Rubio and Vincent Valdez at the Museo Alameda in San Antonio, Texas. Their work, which I would consider to some of the finest visionary Chicano art I've ever seen, chronicles the relationship between the pair's lives growing up in the south side of San Antonio. This exhibition truly represents the collective understanding of life in many shoes. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in going to the show check out this link:

In the Deepest Ocean ...

Hey everyone, I just finished another hefty pen study. This one was inspired by Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows. In particular, the song "Weird Fishes" swam its way into my artistic eye - so I drew it! I added the final touches of color with watercolor. And yes, it was incredibly fun abstracting Thom Yorke - haha! But in the end, it can be whatever you want it to be. Enjoy - and while you're at it, go download that new Radiohead album - it's beautifully brilliant!

The Student At Work ...

Hello-Hello! I've got some new breadth work to share - have a look! As you can see, I've been, brushing up on my painting skills. However, the top piece is done mostly in colored pencil and a little bit in watercolor. The rest were painted in acrylics. Thanks to my awesome art teachers at school, I feel I've learned a lot so far this year. There will be more to come - yes, my evil plans will soon dominate - Muhuhaha!

A Few Friends ...

So, for a few days, I've taken a break from my serious work and have finally gotten to do something fun. And, the result is this! Yes, they love you too - haha! I call them the Squid Creatures ... on the left is Mr. Dote, and on the right is Mr. Squid ... Enjoy!
