Hi everyone. After much deliberation and experimentation I have come to the conclusion that for the time being public page format is a better vehicle for audience participation and interaction. From now on I will update you on my happenings here. Please show your support by clicking like on the page and sharing with your friends. Thank you. I hope to see you there.

Coming along nicely

Bought a little inspiration

Gesso

Today I decided to try out a new gesso formula. This one uses: white acrylic paint, glue, plaster of Paris, honey and water.

One of my friends from Cal State Long Beach, Jessica Lah, recently finished an ambitious project. She managed to combine bicycling, plein aire painting and camping cross country to publish a book about her adventures. Check it. jessicalah.com

A search for meaning

For the longest time I was concerned with finding a voice not realizing that what I was really after was a new language.

¡¿Que Barrio?! arte show

My work will be on display along with several noteworthy artists at Johny Cab and Mexicali Rose. Special thanks to Elizabeth, Marco, Rosalia and everyone involved in making this event happen.

Lost artwork

I've lost a few things. The first time was a few years ago, some large pieces stashed in plain sight in my Community College's public storage area. I knew it was at my own risk. The second time was during a christmas sale where I got everything back with the exception of one small painting of fruit. At least I have pictures.

Today

Big quake yesterday over 7.0 no utilities for a good while and aftershocks don't stop. This is what I was experimenting on. It came from a dumpster. Rather than seeing art be thrown away into landfills I rescued it and now give it new life.
