Honorable Dead

Jack & Sally Sketch

2008-02-10T19:44:00.000-08:00

This is a sketch I did for a friend who wanted to get it tattooed as a Valentine gift for her husband. They're both big Tim Burton fans, but the image of Jack and Sally is supposed to represent them. This is why I put a plaque above their heads that have the letters R and K, which are their initials. I plan on coloring this sketch as well. I think it will look good as a finished illustration.

Deadliest Weapon

This one's pretty self explanatory

Dia de los Muertos

2007-12-19T14:06:00.001-08:00

I made this for a friend who loves Day of the Dead as much as I do. I tried to depict the subtle feeling of spirits coming together for a celebration. Since the image of the skeleton was generally accepted as the symbol of death, I found it interesting , as a young lad, the way this symbol was being used to celebrate life, even if it was after death. I absolutely love the idea of people spending an evening with their deceased relatives, bringing offerings with them, and decorating the tombs with flowers and candles, chanting and saying prayers while the children wonder and play together throughout the cemetery. If I could, I'd do it every weekend.

La Virgin

Here's a portrait of La Virgin de Guadalupe which emulates the icon that's been replicated over the centuries.

Grail

2007-12-14T16:14:00.000-08:00

Here's an image of a figure being baptized in blood.

Cupid

Something I made for Valentine's Day back in 2002.

Greeting Card Covers

2007-12-12T19:08:00.000-08:00

Here are some greeting card covers I did for a company called Leap Greetings. Since I couldn't really use my drawing skills for this project, I worked with mostly color and textures. The theme for this series was "Father to Son" as well as a few Christmas cards. Overall, I was happy with how they turned out.

Sketch of a new piece I'm working on

X-Bone

2007-11-19T17:35:00.001-08:00

This was actually just a practice piece so there's no real significance to it. I still like it a lot though.

Virgin & Child

2007-11-19T17:30:00.001-08:00

I would have to say that this piece is one of my favorites. If anyone is offended by baby Jesus being portrayed as a skeleton, you really shouldn't because he looks so cute!

Broken

2007-11-19T17:19:00.001-08:00

Another piece alluding to useless emotions. I'm not bitter, I swear! ;)

Angelic Order

I like skeleton angels
