Went back to school. Attending Queens College, majoring in Technical Theater (set design, lighting design, etc.) and minoring in Music (always wanted to learn music proper). I still draw, I just don't post as often as I should.
Death of a Phoenix
The colors in this photo don't represent the actual colors of the piece...damn shame.
If you've never watched Stanley Kubrick's, A Space Odyssey: 2001, then you are missing out on one of the best films ever made. This film was made in 1968 and till this day looks fresh and cutting edge. The music for the film really made it all the more amazing for me.
Gyorgy Ligeti's Atmosphere was a fantastic beginning and had me mesmerized from the very beginning of the film.
I became a huge fan of his music after watching the film.
Here is a portrait I did of him with the iconic monolith behind him.
Portrait of Gyorgy Ligeti Graphite, Ink, and Digital Drawing 2011
I made this as a Birthday gift for a friend a while back, I just recently found my old flash drive with a bunch of scanned images from my college/just out of college stage. I used to be so much more into this whole art thing...

I was recently commissioned by Paul Loren of The Well-Informed to produce a few drawings for a booklet he is providing his fans for his upcoming Fancy Chance Tour 2011. Let me start by saying that I was flattered for him to pick me as the artist to represent their visual style this year. It was lots of fun working on this project, especially since all I had to do was draw the way I like to draw.
Here are the set of drawings he requested:
Brian Ver Straten
Brooklyn Bridge
Evan Duby
Grand Army Plaza
Famous writer, Henry Miller
Paul Loren
Carroll St. Subway Station
I'm excited to see them printed. The Well-Informed are definitely a band to check out live. You can go listen to their music on their bandcamp site.
Still working out these "designs"
Currently working on a sketch that I want to blow up to a much bigger size...don't know what medium I'll end up doing it in.
Tired of planning...ready to make some moves.
Yeah, moves.
The High Priest
My friend has a shitty scanner...I should really draw in my own books.
Preparing the virgin for sacrifice!
Igor Stravinsky's music works so well when I draw these things.
I got laid off from my job on January 31st 2011. I'm not too upset about it, though, in fact, I'm very happy it happened. I now have time to work on a new portfolio gear towards industrial design. My new plan would be to get myself into Pratt's masters program and land a REAL job utilizing my talents.
The following is all the stuff I've been working on lately for the portfolio:
It's been a long process. I won't even bother putting up all the reference I went through to get ideas for this robot of mine. I really wish my sketches looked nicer and on better paper, but I feel way more comfortable drawing on scrap paper. This piece is definitely coming together though, and I'm excited to tackle the creation of this robot. I'll probably begin next week on constructing the prototype. I have way more drawings to do, but lord knows I have the time to do it all, and that's the beauty of it.
