Happy Christmas !

I tried to be festive this year so I posted this drawing around Eagle Rock!

City of Hope

I've been interning as an illustrator at City of Hope, a non profit cancer center. So far its been a pretty good experience. Lately they've been assigning me to draw the buildings on campus. 

 Beckman building

These were kinda fun. They might be using these as medical diagrams. The first two are parts of the digestive system.  The last one.. well to be honest i don't even remember what the last one is.

some weird looking thing

The Bright Side of the Sun

Tokusatsu

I've been looking a lot at Kaiju and Tokusatsu and have been really inspired by it. I decided to use that as a theme for my scholarship book. As a kid I loved Godzilla and Power Rangers so I've been having a lot of fun using something so nostalgic to me as a subject. I wanted these pieces to just be ridiculous and funny so I created characters that are complete knock offs of Power Rangers, Ultraman, and Godzilla/ Gamera

 Gouache and acrylic ink

 The Red Morpher! I really was inspired by Mark Todd with this one

 The Pink Morpher!

 "Sonicman 7" woodblock and silkscreen 

woodblock, silkscreen, and transfer on tiepolo paper

These are two of my favorite pieces I made for my Notorious class taught by Jim Salvati. I really liked the assignments in the class because it always seemed to include pop culture. The top one was to illustrate a band and the bottom one was to illustrate a movie. 

Jefferson Airplane

Han and Chewie

Printmaking

Silk screen poster of my brothers band The Posh Dolls

Two layer woodcut

Intaglio Aquatint 

Sketchbook

So many times people have caught me drawing them and it is always completely awkward. So now I draw the backs of people so they don't see me. I know... it sounds very creepy. 

This is Desmond

This is a character I invented for a childrens book im working on. His name is Desmond!

Puppet Show

This was a final done for my publishing class taught by Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson. Really awesome class! I got a lot of help from Ariel and my brother Patrick with this one. Hope you like this ridiculous video. Silence seems to be a common response to this video.

More Hockey

This was an assignment for Paul Rogers' illustrative storytelling class. These were all done with acrylic on illustration board. 

Filipino stuff
