toothpaste kisses

I finished this stop motion music video in December. It is an unofficial video for "Toothpaste Kisses" by my favorite band, The Maccabees. Enjoy!

I recently finished painting another pair of custom slip-ons for someone. Hopefully I will have pictures of them soon to post. 

But in the mean time, check out my motion graphics piece...

Johnny Earle [aka Johnny Cupcakes] spoke at Laguna College of Art and Design last month. The turnout was on the small side, but that gave way to a more intimate setting. If you get the chance to go to one of Johnny's lectures, definitely take that opportunity. It was a great way to gain insight into business and how this young entrepreneur built his business from the ground up. But, if you do go... be prepared for some Nickelodeon trivia!

Today was my graduation ceremony for getting my degree from Laguna College of Art and Design. One of the guest speakers massively failed when he said "Rembrandt's Mona Lisa" ...yeah because Leonardo Da Vinci didn't paint that...

my website

My website is currently still under construction. I am working on the coding right now actually... just working out all the final touches and kinks. Everything should be up and running a marathon within the next week. It would be possible to get it all working tonight, but I have to get up in about 4 hours for work. Ahh yes, the life of a design student.

And I think I hate to say it, but I like working with coding. I like math though. Makes sense right?

Well, I finally gave in and started a blog. I suppose I will use this space to let you know where I am at with my personal artwork as well as posting work that I am inspired by. In turn, hopefully this will inspire you as well. And if it doesn't, then maybe you shouldn't be looking at a blog that deals with artwork, design, and other fancy imagery. Oh, and by the way, I am not the biggest fan of the font options on here... but this one is alright.

This is the link to my website...

I'm currently working on making a new one, but you can check out what I have up at the moment.

Good evening.
