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)

BFA FALL 2012 PORTFOLIO

       AT LAST!!! Here's my Portfolio for the A/I BFA :)      Enjoy!

TADAH!!!

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:

It's raining love!

I forgot to post it but I made this one around valentine's day lol

It's raining love on everyone, because everyone deserves love.

Roller Derby Girl commission

One of the ladies who used to work at Lipsticks and Bullets hair salon gave me a professional face massage. Instead of paying her cash (god knows how much >.<) she told me she wanted a painting . Her name is Michell and she used to be part of the Silicon Valley Roller Girls. Here's the painting below.

It was also my first time painting rollers. :)
