Journey of Charon is a mixed media piece (graphite with digital coloring), based on Greek mythology’s Ferryman of Hades. Charon travels in a canoe, giving his riders an intimate, uncomfortable experience into the underworld. The faceless figures add to the mystery of the piece.

Happy Halloween to you!
This illustration is a mixed media piece–pen and digital coloring. I was inspired by “dream catchers”, alchemy, mysticism, and alters for ancestor worship (mainly from the De Young Museum exhibit on tribal art). The eyeballs are inherently creepy, staring at you no matter how you look at them. The bones and skull elements were from various animal and human sources, mainly a bird’s wings, neck, turtle shell, and frog’s feet.
Hopefully, this Nightmare Catcher could snatch some nightmares for you on the wickedness day of all–Halloween! Have a great day!

Here’s another self-portrait taken with the digital Canon XTi and remote. A bit of cropping and color levels were done, but this was a fun mini-project.

I’ve always loved creating artwork, whether it’s illustration, fine arts, or jewelry. With the discovery of Etsy, I finally have a forum for showcasing the items. I’m pleased to announce the official launch here. Whoohoo!

This illustration is for the 7th edition of Propaganda Revista magazine, based in Bogota, Columbia, focusing on landmines. This is my second involvement with the publication and I’m very proud to be part of their meaningful, socially-relevant projects.
The simple black, red and white color scheme were inspired by the old political and propaganda posters of the 40s-60s. The pattern in the background is an ink drawing of abstract faces, while the skeletal fetus was an extracted image from another artwork of mine–reappropriated, but I think it will serve a better purpose in this piece. The drawing was created in pen/ink, then scanned and digitally colored. The paint splatters suggest the violence and brutality of the explosions, while the fetus represent the loss of innocence and humanity.
