RIP Steve Jobs

I learned of Steve Jobs passing as I was preparing pieces for Día de los Muertos. So much of what I do each and everyday is made possible by his innovations. This piece is by way of a humble thanks and admiration.

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Homage to the incomparable Jacques Brel.

The Continental

Christopher Walken as "The Continental". Digital. Done too late for the Cariacaturama Showdown 3000, but done nonetheless. Most of the pieces submitted showed him Scowling. I wanted to show him smiling.

Ceci n'est pas un Rockwell

My own humble submission to the Caricaturama 3000!! weekly competition. It's really just a quick sketch. I may take it to finish when I've a bit more time on my hands, but there is something about the black & white that I like.

Dancing with the Steers

Gilles did me the honor of signing this print after I presented it to him at the wrap party for "Brothers & Sisters" Season 5.

Waiting for Izzy

I started this self portrait while waiting for my daughter, Isabella on the set of "Brothers & Sisters". She has a recurring guest starring role beginning Sunday, January 2nd @ 10:00 pm on ABC. She has a lot of fun and the cast and crew wonderful.

A Cup 'o' Joe and a Slice 'o' Cherry Pie

I finally carved out some time to participate in the Carcaturama Showdown 3000! weekly contest. I took a trip down memory lane with Agent Dale Cooper of Twin Peaks fame. It was an opportunity to to flex my muscles and try out some home made brushes. Over all it was a gas!!

ChimMaya Día de los Muertos on KABC News

Channel 7 KABC Eyewitness News reporter Alysha del Valle did this report on Día de los Muertos from ChimMaya Gallery in Los Angeles. The piece did a good job of capturing the spirit of the Day of the Dead and of representing ChimMaya and the artists in the show. The ol' Dead Beatnik ( AKA Benjamin Thomas) just happened to have some paintings in the Muertos 2010 show at the time. "Charlie's Angel" got some good coverage. Check it out.
