"The Real Queen of Hearts"

Life is a fragile and very delicate thing, a person once told me -"If all the oxygen in the earth was absent for even just 5 min most of life on earth would cease to exist!" in this very simple and short sentence he taught me about how fragile one's life really is, with that in mind I began to see the importance in never taking anything for granted and specially not the very important things that make the world a very incredible place -"The people"- motivating us, pushing us, to create, live, smile, hurt, and to really feel the worth in our hearts for this world. 

Eric was kind enough to allowed me to be a part of this incredible gift for a very special person, Happy Birthday Kerrie and Safe Recovery.

DMA's "Artrageous"

Artrageous Art Silent Auction

Teen Art Silent Auction Benefiting Teen Educational Programs at the Dallas Museum of Art

 An Affair of the Art has been the city’s premier event for young professionals for the past two decades, raising more than $2 million for the DMA since its inception. Last year’s event was a record-breaking success—over 500 of Dallas’s young leaders attended the soiree, raising the funds to completely underwrite a year’s worth of teen educational programs at the DMA. Proceeds from this year's gala will again support programs for teens at the DMA, programs that fill an important community need by providing youth with creative ways to learn about and connect with art.

 To showcase the talents of teen artists, the committee would like to include a silent auction of works created by high school students in Pre-AP and AP Studio Art classes in DFW. Pre-AP and AP Studio Art students are invited to submit an original two-dimensional artwork to be considered for the silent auction. The final student works selected for auction will be chosen by a panel of art consultants, collectors, and a DMA curator.

"Sweet and Cold"

"Life Bring Beauty"

I was commission to create a very special anniversary gift, paintings can a very unique and special gift I believe it can rival jewelry, it will be one of a kind and will last for years even centuries just like jewelry. The first thing I did  was to create  a color pallet that would be the key element for this piece as they wanted to feel right with their main living area, once that was chosen I started working on the sketch to see size and composition, then no sleep for me until the job was finish, here is the out come. 

"Protecting Life"

 This is the second part of the collection of Roseanne, this time around I was asked to go into my inner mammal Roseanne mention she wanted to see a bear or a wild boar, I immediately ran with the bear (in my mind I put them to a fight and the bear dominated! I saw the StreetFighter Vs screen with all its glory but with awesome fatalities... it was great....lols) Sorry, So after sketching some stuff out I decided that it needed a counter animal to even the force of the Bear so I added a ferret would be a good choice adding a kindness to the piece, also to meet the last Skateboard evenly. This was my Concept and process for this Piece.

TEXAS DIABLO  /  HATZIEL  /  JOEY SEEMAN

Queen of Certitude

I have been working on a grayscale series for quite some time now and as much as I loved the way color collide with monotones and really brought a different light to my work I really needed a break from it, I really needed to come back to flesh tones they just give such a beautiful look to a pieces, what better way to get back into the feel of things then with a kickass skateboard! YEAH! This is a commission brought to me by a wonderful art connoisseur who's been following my work and decided to have an original one of a kind piece in her home, I'm very happy to be a part of her art collection. For this piece I did the next chapter of the continuing Skatedeck Series (The rest can be found here ), a collaboration of some really cool items that she wanted to see in the piece that and keeping the same style from that series here is the outcome, and my process for this piece hope you will enjoy.
