Tron Makes The Matrix Look Like A Retarded Relative

The Matrix is child's play compared to Tron. Tron makes sense while The Matrix is a riddle within a riddle within a riddle. Only problem with that is that the Matrix's riddles were more retarded than the movie and its heavy religious undertone...

Spider-man Invitation

As always every year I make an invitation to my kids birthdays. This year my son wanted a Spider-man theme. So I came up with a comic book cover invitation...worked out pretty well.

Fresh Ink...

Its been about a year since my last ink session. Thats quite a long gap. This tattoo is one that has personal meaning to me. "Noho Me Ka Hau Oli" is Hawaiian for "Be Happy" something that I struggle to be. I dwell off being depressed, sad, and angry all the time I have to have a reminder to myself that I should just calm down and be happy!

An Addiction To Tattoos

My next tatt...be permanently inked on this coming Friday (14th)...the phrase is Hawaiian for "Be Happy"...its a reminder to myself to just remember the happy moments i've experienced when Im at a low point. Hawai'i means that to me. My Hawaiian friends think Im posing. BUT in reality its not as shallow as they would like to think. Hawai'i means more to me than it does to them. To them its home its a familiar place, a place easily accessible to them. For me its a paradise I got to experience briefly and have been longing for ever since. Its a place that I cant touch ever again...its my paradise that only lives in my memories...so don't easily label me as a poser. I was made in Hawai'i...

Painting without Thinking

I live by the philosophy that artist Feng Zhu teaches. He believes you should NOT think so much when creating/painting. I agree with that. My best illustrations come from when im doodling on a napkin or notepad. Not reallying having a set idea of what im creating. Just allowing my mind to be free from the mindless ramblings that go through my head every single day. Its a good exercise to clear your mind also. But now I've incorporated that thinking in my paintings.

If someone were to ask me to commission a painting of a specific theme, I'll do it BUT it probably wont look as good as if I just created something with no set guidelines or rules.

This painting here is spray paint and acrylics. I mixed two different applications to achieve this piece. I wasn't thinking about which application to use. I just started off with spray paint and it evolved subconsciously into the final product...art is funny, art is beautiful that way...

When I hate myself, I hurt myself...

On a personal note this image is what NOT to do when you are angry with yourself. Self inflicted wound to the head via Ukulele. Impulse...thats all I can say. Now not only do I have about a 2"long gash on my head my beloved and cherished Ukulele is dead! I killed her. I destroyed her into a dozen pieces all because of...impulse! SMH

First Commission Piece Completed!

Well this is my 18x24 interpretation of Tim Gagnon's piece. I originally did a smaller piece BUT was asked to do an 18x24 piece. Came out ok. I still have a lot to learn about acrylic painting...
