HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!
Celebrating the day with this recently finished up Bo-Katan illustration. She’s has been one of my favorite characters since she first appeared on Clone Wars. It was good to see her story continue in Rebels and from there into live action on the Mandalorian. Looking forward to seeing how her story continues to unfold in future shows.
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!
It was great seeing all the people that came out to help celebrate Horizon Comic & Collectables Grand Opening yesterday! The turn out for the celebration was amazing!!
Not being able to exhibit the past year, it was exciting to interact and chatting about art, comics, movies and tv series. That connection is the thing I enjoy the most about exhibiting. It was great to experience a little piece of it yesterday. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table, I deeply appreciate your support!
Lastly, A HUGE THANK YOU to Richard & Raquel for having me be part of the Grand Opening Celebrating! I love seeing the community you are building in the AV!!!

Hard to believe it has been five years already. This June also marks five years since my dad passed on your birthday. Your music has been intertwined in every area of my life journey, it is therapeutic, thought provoking and most of all healing. Thanks, Prince, for your continued inspiration with my creative process daily.
To honor you today, I decided to experiment and create a tribute piece in a different style than my usual one. I drew inspiration from Diamonds and Pearls album, animation, Art Deco, and Alphonse Mucha for design of this tribute piece.
Working on lettering issue #3 of Twisted Fate Story featured in my indie comic magazine Unique Realm Illustrated. To knock out the lettering stage of my book I’m using Adobe Illustrator.
Here is the finished Bounty Hunters Sketch Cover featuring Boba Fett
There wasn’t much left to paint so finishing this cover up went fast. I painted the leather belt areas first and then painted the metal ammunition cells to complete this sketch cover.
Here is WIP06 for Bounty Hunters Sketch Cover featuring Boba Fett
I started this stage by outlining the top belt area with Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens. Then I painted in each section working right to left and continued until all the small areas were complete.
Here is WIP05 for Bounty Hunters Sketch Cover featuring Boba Fett
I started this stage by outlining the chest armor and cloth area with Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens. Then I painted in the bottom area black. Next I painted the vest area in with a flat gray base color. From there I painted in the folds by building up layers of mind tones and dark tones with dry brush technique. To complete this stage I went in and add highlights to the vest area.
Here is WIP04 for Bounty Hunters Sketch Cover featuring Boba Fett
I started by outlining the arm, shoulder armor, gauntlet armor, blaster, and lower back armor with Faber-Castell PITT artist pens. Then I painted the all the black cloth area and glove. Next I painted the orange shoulder armor area and the maroon gauntlet. From there I added the gray worn areas to both. With those areas finished up I painted the all the hoses. Lastly I painted the blaster.
To this WIP, I painted the back armor green areas and added all the worn look throughout.
