This is a more abstract direction for me.

Running On Empty



This is a landscape of an abandoned gas station. Isolated and abandoned buildings are inspiring, full of forgotten memories and histories. The textures of worn and crumbling faded facades are so tactile and beautiful!

A Black Jesus



This is a black Jesus, a more realistic yet fun approach to how Jesus might have looked. He is painted on black velvet.

Father's Day, Dia de la Feria Event, Day of the Dead Art Exhibit



Five of my Day of the Dead inspired works will be in this art exhibition coming up in San Mateo, including Only Her Hairdresser Knows For Sure, (below).  I am a featured artist in this show which promises to have quite a large number of fantastic works by many different artists. A great place to do some shopping and pick up something original for Father's Day...
Dates: June 8th - 16th, 2013
Where: San Mateo County Fair, Fine Arts Galleria Expo Center
Besides the Day of the Dead exhibit there are many other kinds of art on display as well. Check out the other activities planned for the last day, June 16th - including a sugar skull workshop at 3 pm and a dance performance by the Aztec ceremonila dance group - Teokalli at 2 pm.
So grab Dad and come on down for a fun art filled day!
