What happens when I can't sleep??

It's around 2 in the morning and I absolutely cannot sleep

( green tea and chocolate bars earlier in the day yum!)

So what do I do????

Started drawing portraits of Patrick and Dan from the Black Keys and messing around with photoshop....sooo here's what it looks like XD

Newest painting!

Kimono + Punk leather jacket = Clash Culture :D

Here's the sketch...

And here's the final version!!....

Who's Geisha does this Kimono belongs to??

I made the patches using fabric paint and felt, and for the studs, I had to order them online.

Oh and The Misfits patch glows in the dark :3. The painting is approx. 35.5" by 23.70", it took me a long time to finish it (procrastination lol), but I am very pleased by the way it looks. ^o^

The Black Keys T-shirt!

Another band that I really like is The Black Keys, and one of my favorite album from them is " The Big Come up", but I couldn't find a t-shirt with the album cover on it. So F*** it! I'm gonna paint my own! :D

I also decided to paint on the back the song list, so it's interesting in the back and the front :)

Front!

Back!

 

Anglophilia

I've being watching  a lot of British shows lately, I don't know why ( oh yeah, probably because I love British culture :) ). Anyways one of the TV show was " The Inbetweeners" and one of my favorite character is Jay. I don't know why I find him very attractive ( even if his character is a liar/ perverted/whatever guy lol). So I did 2 drawings of him, both in ink  :). 

I will be drawing other characters from the shows I watch....Maybe umm Sherlock??

James Buckley ( who plays Jay)

Painted boxes!

This was a project from the city of San jose where the city hired local artist to paint electrical boxes in different neighborhoods. My first design with the cranes was the one that I used on the box and what a coincidence because I was assign to paint the one in Japantown! :)

This was a great summer project to keep me busy and to get some experience :)

Here are the boxes:
