In honor of my life hero’s birthday, this year I decided to create a Purple Rain movie poster. I drew inspiration from the Mondo Posters and Alphonse Mucha art.
Happy 62nd Birthday Prince!
May the 4th Be With You!
Star Wars means so many things to everyone. For me its a story about misfits uniting for the greater good, becoming family and ultimately about hope. Even in the darkest of times there is always light. There will be times you will feel beat down by life and only see a darkness everywhere. The darkness has a way of coating and fooling you so you don’t see things clearly. In order to see the light that is always there will at times require a guide to show you the way to seeing it again. This makes me think of the quote “The master will appear when the student is ready.”
This piece is a hybrid of traditional and digital art. Ahsoka was painted in 2017 as a donation piece to raise money for Extralife. The trooper helmet was recently created in Illustrator for this piece. I love mixing traditional and digital elements to achieve the final artwork.
Ahsoka has become one of my favorite characters. She’s had an amazing story arch from Clone Wars to Rebels. Looking forward to seeing what the Mandalorian adds to her story.
In what every way Star Wars inspires you, I hope you have a great day!!

It’s great seeing people enjoying and experiencing all forms of the arts at Kaleidoscope Palmdale’s Art & Music Festival yesterday! One of my favorite parts about exhibiting is talking to kids interested in pursuing the arts and talking to everyone about the types of artwork they are drawn to and like. Thanks to the Palmdale Rec and Culture staff for putting on a great event to be apart of!! Looking forward to next years event!

More Halloween inspired art is taking shape, this time with the Pumpkin King. Pencilled this a little over a year age and I’ve finally been able to start the paint process for this Jack Skellington piece. This painting is on Strathmore Mixed Media Toned Gray paper which takes acrylic paint extremely well. Here is a look at the beginning process stage.
