Beauty Queen

2009-05-11T16:26:00.000-07:00

I just did an illustration for an article about beauty pageants and children. The piece turned out ok but I had to make some major changes. I also wish I could have painted the illustration instead of coloring it in Photoshop but, I was under a half day deadline. A real rush job.

The finished illustration. Because of the weird dimensions (13.6"x 5.5")I had to drastically alter the original concept.

My initial sketch for the illustration:

Updates!

2009-04-26T10:18:00.000-07:00

The Ventura Art Walk is this weekend. Yesterday, (Saturday) I sold a lot of gift cards and prints.

My biggest priority has been my daughter, Emma. She is nearly 9 months old now and most of my time has been devoted to her. I can't seem to remember what life was like before she was born, and now I can't imagine life without her.

Watch this site for a lot of updates. Thanks for looking

The Mary Mitchell House

2008-04-08T22:58:00.000-07:00

I did another cover for the VC Reporter. The Art Director, Enrique Candiotti, asked me to do something different. Thanks E!

The illustration is of a historically important landmark in Ventura. It's a house called the Mary Mitchell House.

According to the San Buenaventura Conservency Website:

This house is known as the Mary Mitchell House and is part of the Mitchell Block Historic District established in 1977. The two-story brick masonry structure is a combination of Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorian with the decorative wood detail under the front gable and the spindle and spool decoration on the porch and balcony. Of unusual interest and whimsy is the square tower with the crenalated parapet, which is reminiscent of medieval Gothic towers. Built in 1890 by the Mitchell Brothers, who were bricklayers, this residence was given to Mary Mitchell, daughter of Ed. L. Mitchell. The houses at 670 and 692 are the only remaining examples of brick houses constructed prior to 1900 in the city of Ventura.
