Autodesk Sketchbook Pro

WOAH!!!

It's been over 3 years since I last posted anything here...hey, what can i say? I'VE BEEN BUSY!!! hehehe...

But, now I'm not so busy, again.

So....I've decided to redo my website and manage this here blog.

Yes that means, there will be more work being posted up and hopefully a new website that you all can visit where you may ooh and ahh what work I've done this past 3 years.

Ok, maybe some of you have heard of that kinda new and most EFFIN' AWESOME of programs/app Autodest Sketchbook Pro.

Well, this here skull was my 2nd attempt at using the app, which I drew on my 4" screen of my Samsung Transform Ultra with a regular stylus. No joke. What do you think, cool huh? I LOVE THIS APP!!

...so much that I had to go out and get the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with it's 8" screen and with it's rocket-ship power and technology, and the S-pen. WAY BETTER than using a regular stylus!

At this point, all the art supplies (drawing, painting, et.) that I have accrued over the past years are now rendered obsolete....or unused till my tablet dies from over use. Even my desk top which has the Sketchbook program is collecting dust...that is, until I start working on my website. I don't use my desktop to illustrate much, because I still like leaning over the pieces that I'm working. Even though I have a tablet on my desktop and can use it proficiently, it's just not as preferable as a touch-screen tablet. The one thing I totally love about this app/program, is that I am able to use the painting technique of layering and lifting quite easily, a technique that I have been using when painting with acrylics.

So yeah, TOTALLY AWESOME.

Ok, enough ranting.

Thanks for visiting and remember: There will be more work being posted here in the next few days and there will be a newly designed website. So come back ok?

Cool, Thanks.

My Favorite Past-time....

My favorite thing to do (and has been since I was a kid) is to sit in front of the television and draw till the sun comes up. It doesn't really matter what I'm drawing, just as long as get to draw.

Of Tattoos, Contractor and Indian Food,

I just got done updating my regular web site with the work that I did this month.
I had a great time doing then and I hope to be able to do more.
Seriously, I can't think of a better way to scrape together a (although meager) living than to be doing art work for people.

LUCIA'S

This painting was a work of pleasure and love. It was a going -away gift to one of my dearest friend and one of the loveliest of women I've had the pleasure and blessing of  being able to share life with.

Having less than a weeks time to do the painting, I poured every free minute I had into completing this. This was at a time when where I lived lacked a studio or space of any kind to actually do any painting. So for that week I turned my dining room into a studio, just so I could do this.

Symbols and designs inspired from Chinese and Hindu art, has been a strong influence over what I have been using in my paintings in the past decade. Thanks to a wonderful and brilliant professor who taught the Asian Art History Class  that I attended back in 2002, my appreciation and love of Asian art, history, and culture has and continues to grow.

The sand skrit symbols that take up the center of the page is alibata; an ancient and formally lost writing method from the Filipines. Alibata has been slowly brought back into Pinoy culture and can be found commonly on the bodies of Pinoy's as tattoos.

This alibata simply says: LUCIA (lu-s-ya)
