San Cocho Reveal
The details in this piece nearly drove me insane.. but super happy how it turned out. The figure on her hoodie is reminiscent of a medicine man I once saw in a movie and combined with the Christian symbolism sparked the name. San Cocho which is actually a play on words... in one sense it is a super traditional Dominican stew containing various meats and root vegetables that is a staple in every Dominican home. The other meaning of the word comes from seperating "San" from "Cocho" which I did in order to reference the idea of saints.
San Cocho WIP
My favorite part of this piece was working out the various shades of gray through out the painting.
Souvenirs reveal
Super happy with this piece. I thought of the history of people governed by their colonizers and how they acquire the culture and erase the history. They acquire people, cultures and resources like souvenirs, decimating long established people without any sense of humanity. Most of the time in the name of God. Ironic. I Think...
Souvenirs WIP
I had alot of fun working on that dress.. but the exclamation point is the head gear and collar. I just love when it all comes together.
Mr. H3ro the thinker
I love incorporating this character into famous masterpieces so when I found this picture of Rodin's the thinker, i challenged myself with the awkward position.

I created this one after hearing of the break up of the band Daft Punk. Their iconic sound and visuals are an inspiration.

Part of the #QuarantineSketch2020 Giveaway. During the COVID19 pandemic I did a paint sketch each week and then gave it away to a lucky winner. I had a lot of fun doing this, hearing suggestions and laughing at comments. Every sketch was in some way related to quarantine.
Loving Lady Gaga
This is a time-lapse video of me describing how I went about creating this image of Mr. Round getting frisky with Lady Gaga. He's such a sluttux.
Mr. Round on the Hudson River
The idea is to create a floating sculpture anchored in the Hudson River.
The Roundphabet, The Letter P
I love doing the alphabet with Mr. Round. He's such a character. After each photo session, he would tell me how he's gonna join a Yoga class because of me.
The Roundphabet, The Letter R
We took all these pictures on Boulevard East in Hudson county. Mr. Round loved the views of Gotham.
