Think im falln in LOve 4

  This is the final love piece  for now. I got consumed in doing dark pieces with hopeful themes mixing life and death. I particularly got stuck in combining nature and letting colors intensify under U.v. I love the combination of black and red. I going do more experimenting on this particular color composition.

Think im falln in lOve part 3

   Im going to put the bullet to my head and not think, just give in to the heart, shoot myself with red illusions and see if im still left standing in a colorful psychedelic world. Ima shoot myself with a red bullet.....

Think im falling in love part 2 I guess....

   Im doing a series of how i see myself from the inside. Sometimes these pieces start chaotic but i just start thinking colorful and things end up being arite. I am really exited painting this series i dont really care if no one likes it. Im becoming happy and accepting myself and i get really happy painting everyday and listening to loud jungle music inspres me to not stop. I start to paint faster and faster asi here dope music. I see myself as an odd creature, but really happy finally :) :)

Flamez Smoke Shop Mural In west LA

Its so fun being able to spend the whole weekend painting murals while its mad pooring outside! I really had a hell of an orgasm watching my colors glow as i hear the rain outside the window and i get to zone out for the whole day in space. This production led me to a new direction to discover perspectives and backgrounds. I want to do more of these jobs and turn rooms into psychedelic outer space!!!

COLLECTIONS OF VARIOUS WORKS

Its fun varying the the styles and techniques to not be confined to one type of image regurgitated. But rather, explore different techniques in both regular lighting and in ultra violet.

beginnings of live painting excersices 08

     I found this old footage of a live painting exercise that i engaged in back in 08. It serves as an interesting reflection at a look at my style and technique constantly evolving from when i first started Live Painting back 08. It was fun to look back and see my beginning's with acrylic paint and character development. I feel my work has changed and grown dramatically since my early years experimenting with speed painting and creating evil yet abstract characters inside my own dark psyche. I got a bit ashamed looking back at my technical skill and ability to execute a speed live painting effectively. After a long hour of being angry with myself I came to the realization and to terms with the fact that my work couldn't of grown and evolved without all the previous confused chaotic and to my standards now, bad work that i had produced in the past. I like looking back at this footage from time to time and seeing how i feel I'm ever growing into an exciting new direction to where i had previously started. I feel over all, back in 08 i was really naive to think that my work was genuine and great. Looking at this footage at times made me feel a bit regretful for even painting live at shows with my technical ability I had back then. I guess i was more caught up in the excitement in the music and the act of painting rather than the end result. I managed to learn from this when i talk to older greater artist who i admire and tell me that "no one ever really starts of knowing what there doing or even does it right to begin with", I guess we all have to start from somewhere and if we really love our passion, it will grow and ultimately flourish into something beautiful.

I like the fact way in which one can turn a thought into a relm of psychedelic adventures.where people get tripped out at what you create. its like turning paint into gold. I like it when things start to meltTttTtTtTtttt

I painted this mural In Los Angeles last week. I wanted to make something cultural and prominent to add beuty to the streets of LA. It was a fun production from day to night where i got a chance to add invisible U.V. colors. The mural is located at a store called reys artshop on olympic and indiana st. in LA

death

Tittle:Death
Medium: Acrylic and U.V. on cardstock 48" by 48"
year 2012
      Sometimes i wish i was one of those Buddhist monks that never feels pain. Or a guru that takes life so blissfully and sees everything as a game. I wonder what went through the mind of that monk that set himself on fire? I wonder if he ever felt pain?
   Although at times i try to be, I am not perfect and i do have moments of lonesome down syndrome that i have a hard time getting out of. I guess i do get bipolar most of the time and sometimes i wish i never got like that. Making the most of it, means occupying my mind in powerful acts of creation. Life sometimes sucks, so I always resort to making art to heal my pain and escape from messed up feelings within. At shows, many people seem to ask me, Why are you always painting? I can never give a straight answer, but i know that it somehow makes me feel better and allows me to cope with stressful situations. I always laugh at critics who are quick to judge on other peoples art. Especially when those critics cant even draw at all!! Stupid critics!! But I guess everyone gets criticized for there art at one point or another. One of the major reasons why i paint, is not to please an audience, but rather to help me feel better whenever I'm feeling stressed out and lonesome. With this piece, I felt the strong urge to capture negative aspects of death, but still put a  balanced harmony of aesthetic beauty. I thought a Lot about pollution, politicians, snakes, and blood. I was really eager to convey a piece that symbolizes how the living see death and negative symbols that are predominant upon our culture. I was feeling so down, so i wanted to see where a concentration of all this negativity will lead me too. The Day of the dead women in the center, symbolizes eternal beauty of the female caught in the crossroads of death and destruction.  Its so weird, but creating art, wether its music, sculpture, writing, dancing or painting really does heal the mind and helps one get through another day.

THE POLTICIAN

   I dont care what anyone says, politicians are all the same!! propoganda tell us "this year things are gonna change" "im going to save you" "i represent the people". Politicians are a piece of shit and are different mask on the same face. They do not act like humans. They are machines or aliens or something else. I hate every poltician on the planet and will never stop painting about them

VENUZ TRAP

 Tittle:Venus Trap
  Medium: Mixed Medium on board 20" by 27"

 Venus trap is a psychedelic piece capturing different aspects of the beauty and desire, Venus fly traps intrigue me. I added many colors but the piece really started to get exciting to me when i added blue. I at times fall into obsessive compulsive desire. I let the colors run wild and really like arranging the composition to diagonal shapes across the piece. sometimes i fall into an adding mode. I added more and more colors until i had to just abandon the piece and walk away. I sometimes feel like a fly.

DO WHAT U LOVE WHEN IT RAINS

 Tittle: Do What U Love when it Rains
 Medium:  Mixed medium on board 20" by 27"

     My brakes where out this weekend so i couldn't go out or do anything for the past couple of days. I felt annoyed and helpless just staying in my studio, so i figured I'd make the most out of it by practicing and making a piece that symbolizes my inner feelings of wanting to paint and listening to music. I made a piece that has meaning to me having fun and block it out the world at times to create. I let the music take over, and started listening to the rain and i began to feel better. I thought that this piece was going to come out negative, but as i started to create it, it began to be really positive somewhat cultural. I felt a way of feeling better after completing it.

      I started by designing an original piece for a tshirt. I composed the piece using a grey scale monochromatic with just black and white. I couldn't sleep that night, so i just started adding more and more brushstroke that made sense. Early on i had determined i wanted to make a beautiful female. Ive been intrigued by looking at inner dark aspects of the psyche and splitting the personality in two. I started to create the dark side by adding the anatomy of the muscles, but as i further pushed on, i found myself expanding the dark side with mushrooms and roots to give blend into the muscular decaying effect. i went off on all the other side adding design elements and listening to the painting. I chose to add the full color on the dark side to turn into a psychedelic piece and to counter the evil into being a piece of wonder and creativity. I was careful not to add u.v. on the real life side and only on the eyes to give it a proper glowing affect. Later when i had completed the piece, i noticed that she looked drunk.I couldn't help but to think of all those countless times Ive done shows and i see beautiful girls, usually confused, looking at what I'm painting, drunk as hell. I figured i would recreate what i see when that happens. There is beauty in everything, even the dark side of life :)

Polluted Heart in Chemtrails

Polluted Heart in Chemtrails

Medium: Acrylic and u.v. on canvas 24” by 24” 2012


Polluted heart on chemtrails is a depiction of the reality the citizens of the U.S. government and the world have undergone. I get affected by the chemicals released in the air. I thought about what my insides would look like as a result of all the pollution and the chemicals the government and the private corporations bestow upon its people. The thought of the very own government and private corporations launching chemical toxins in the air for weather control and illusive agendas have never seemed as far-fetched to me. I have continuously seen how the system of unregulated unchecked corporate capitalism has really stopped at nothing and have felt no empathy for humanity, much less for its citizens. Many people in the US are spoon fed the machines of propaganda and are told to drink, watch TV and party and not care of the global sociological structure of injustice and oppression that are flat out poisoning of its citizens and future generations.
With my painting, I felt the strong urge to depict a poisonous internal organ as sacred as the human heart to symbolize how the toxins have even affected our ability to empathize with one another much less with a person across the other side of the globe. My aim with expressing this piece is to ironically depict a tragic time in our history where the human race is becoming weak and in fact polluted in its own indulgent and mutated into a disfigured ultra violet experiment.

THE BLACK LIGHT KING BACKYARD PRODUCTION

I started thinking of the monetary fund and the greed that drives people mad to lose there humanity. I dont believe in that copout that its in our human nature to be greedy, but rather believe that people have been victims to the monitary traps in order to limit our capability to evolve and understand our true nature of who we really are i chose to depict snakes as being a deciever of rational thoughts and a component of corperate elitism.

I made this piece thinking of the first time i ever meditated. I realized that my mind was turning into a frog. I felt intergalactic but still tied down.

Listen to the heart

 Tittle: Listen to the heart
medium: Acrylic and u.v. on board  20" by 27.5" 2012

       I started this piece not knowing what i was doing, it had been a whole day since i had painted and i was just eager to grab my colors be messy and throw something down. I thought to myself, i will somehow figure it out, little that i know that i was about to make a symbolic piece of personal awareness and prosperity. As soon as i put down the headphones on the female form, i understood that this had to be a piece based on music and freedom. I began to convey thoughts of one engaging in there own personal journey and having courage to live a life of constant inspiration and of thinking and seeing things from different perspectives. I Loved how this painting takes a dramatic shift to become a mushroom creature and mirror into extra dimensional perspectives that are well and alive in the creative right side of the brain.

       I felt so strongly that this piece was created with a strong sense of intuition and courage for not knowing where i was heading, just kept on adding and adding trusting myself that i was going to arrive at an interesting outcome. I wanna inspire people that look at this, to be bold and fallow your own creative intuition. We all have it within. This piece is not finished, as of most of my other works, i just learn to move on, and every time have new urges to start a whole new direction and let music guide my creativity and my colors.Finally, If you've red this far into my blog it means that you appreciate my work and id like to personally thank you!!
