Heavy Mahogany

Finally, I am posting something!! I've been MIA, I know! This was a project I did for my buddy's pirate band's, The Dread Crew of Oddwood, third album "Heavy Mahogany." Check them out! Cool guys, great songs, and just an awesome band! This was suppose to be a 6 weeks project that ended up taking twice as long. This project was definitely very challenging for me, with this amount of work for a short period of time, while working and going to school. But I did it! And I'm really glad to have been part of this project! Mike, thanks dude! Good luck with the album guys!

1 Hour Study

I was inspired by my buddy Chris Sias, so I tried a 1 hour study from a photograph. I'm a little rusty since I haven't been drawing in a while.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

To an innovator and a genius! Thanks Steve Jobs. You will be missed! Rest in Peace.

Axe design for Taurus character

This is a weapon concept for a Taurus character I designed a few months ago that my friend, Pakie Seung, is modeling in 3D. I'll post it once she's finished.

This was a one hour speed painting from a while back. I just came across it so I thought I'd post it.

These are concept stuff I did for a short I did with five of my friends (Mike Montemarano, AJ Velasco, Roberta Tam, Chris Sias, and Jason Dwyer) from the Art Institute last summer. It's called "B.AIR" Here they are!

Portfolio Spring 2011

Yes!!! After two years of working my butt off, I finally graduated! I'm very thankful for my family, friends, teachers, and staff who believed and supported me all the way through. You guys rock! Now I plan to take a break for a couple of weeks and start working on more personal projects, then look for a job. Gotta pay them bills! Here is my final portfolio.
