Aloha, this is a small painting I did for Cory Godbey's "Terrible Yellow Eyes", which is "an online collection of art inspired by the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak."

Illustration West 47

2009-03-23T16:58:00.000-07:00

I'm very happy to announce that one of my pieces was selected to be part of this year's Illustration West 47 presented by SILA and Gallery Nucleus. The show will run from March 28th until April 3rd. My piece, Dona Flor e seus dois uirapurus, is a homage to one of my favourite Brazilian movies of all times. Many thanks to Rory and Marty over at Paper Monkey Press for their superpowers in Letter Pressing to help me bring this to life. This limited edition monoprint will be available for sale in the shop very soon. If you are in the LA area, you should definitely come by.

A warm-up sketch of one of my favorite Tropicália musicians. Miss doing caricatures, it's been a while. See his youngin' curly goodness in action alongside Chico Buarque here!

Happy Vday!

Another straight one quickie. From a thumbnail straight to painting. Good way to learn and to fight the "undo syndrome" as I like to call it. It really helps to get ideas out of the system.

I was hoping to create a graphic manifestation of music I've been listening to lately...

This is a painting of about 4' x 2' feet that will be for sale soon. Thanks for looking!
