Paintings

Starry Nightmare

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
I'm a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas (obviously) and Van Gogh's style of painting. It may not be exactly how he would've painted it, but I love how it came out. Jack and Sally's love is worth the time taken to immortalize.

Phoenix Over the Franklins

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
This was during a period of my life where I felt I needed change, so I portrayed that in the rising phoenix. The mountain range is a silhouette of a picture I took of the Franklin Mountains here in El Paso from the Northeast side. 

The Legendary Birds

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Pokémon! These particular legendary Pokémon are my favorite set. The birds are simply so beautiful to me. This canvas was a good size too, about 3 ft x 4 ft.

Skull And Moth

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Skull study. It's not perfect, but the colors look great. This piece gave me hope to do more skulls in the future.
​

Resolve

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
This started as practice working with false colors, but then transformed into this tortured face. The resolution being me coming to terms with how I felt at that point in my life and what colors I actually ended up using.

Sunflowers

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
My take on some sunflowers in a clear vase using a photo of the same composition.

Howl

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Who doesn't want to show love to a wolf? Just a howling wolf with a pretty lily.

Trying

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
​I painted this during a tumultuous time in my relationship with my then-partner. That part of my life did not get better until I left.

Wolf And Raven

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Animal study juxtaposed with solid color and splash.

Think With Your Heart

Multimedia on stretched canvas.
A dear friend has this one. Knowledge is nothing without input from your heart.

Hello, Dali

Acrylic on stretched canvas.

Squid

Silhouette of a squidly sea creature.

Love Tat

Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Tattoo style rose and heart design.

Stay Gold

Multimedia on stretched canvas.
This was made as a gift to a friend who was a huge The Outsiders fan. Pages are from an old book that was already falling apart. I highlighted the Frost poem in the gold frame.

Drive Smart Driving School
Carrollton, TX
Mar 24.2014

Scouring Craigslist pays off sometimes. The nice people at Drive Smart needed a giant logo piece for their store, so I popped by for a few days to paint a 5 foot logo on their lobby wall. The owners then asked me to paint the same logo in their two classrooms.
Many thanks to Debbie for this opportunity.

Creative eJuice
Houston, TX
Feb 3.2014

Before the grand opening of Houston's new vape shop, Creative eJuice, I was asked to replicate some notable Banksy pieces on their blank walls. This was particularly time consuming as I had painted it with acrylic paint instead of Banksy's signature spray paint and stencil. I freehanded the sketches before I filled them in with paint.
Many thanks to Timothy Dinh at Creative eJuice for this opportunity.
