Made In San Jose
I had a busy, crazy summer opening up an art supply store with Sean Boyles. We did it! It's called The Arsenal, located at 1202 The Alameda in San Jose. Here's the website http://www.thearsenalsj.com
In the midst of all that I have managed to work on little projects. Here's one of 'em...
I did these illustrations for a magazine called Made In San Jose. Thank you Marie Millares, owner of The Usuals, for the feature.
I'm also working on a mural in a residential backyard garden, photos coming soon!

California Natives
About 5 years ago, I became obsessed with gardening. I mainly enjoy growing vegetables and more recently, California native plants. I even took some horticulture classes at Foothill College and later on was so fortunate to work for Agi Kehoe maintaining gardens for like, half a year. My favorite thing about native plants are the wildlife - bugs, bumble bees, butterflies and birds, oh my! Since then, I have much incorporated plants and flowers and bugs into my art. It's weird, every once in a while I would pick up my "California Native Plants for the Garden" book and read it from cover to cover as if it was, let's say, Bukowski's "Ham On Rye" (my all time favorite book). I know... dorky. Anyway, the last time I did it, I got this idea of personifying the plants, some of their descriptions in the book just lent itself to it. So, here's my first batch, I actually put it together as a zine which I am not so happy about layout-wise. But here's the art:
Arctostaphylos species (Manzanita)
-"unique beauty and grace" and "fragrant winter blossoms"

... and done.
I finished the first piece of my new series that I've decided to call "Damsels in Distress".
I only have photos taken with my phone right now, so it's grainy, but here it is:
Here is a detail of the flowers on her head that I drew in graphite:
And here is to give you a sense of how big it is:
It's on a 30 x 22 inches watercolor paper and I used house paint, watercolor, graphite pencil, sumi ink, china marker, white oil pastel, black conte and gold acrylic.
