Again, this is all from high school. Nothing too exciting. But I feel like I cranked out more work my senior year then than I have in my first 2 yrs of Ringling...
which isn't true, I've just been learning diff. mediums and techniques.
And this year, I'm getting my ass kicked.
Have a ton more things to scan and upload.

Aaaand again

Here's some stuff I've scrapped up from the past year or so. Some unfinished...

"Raaaaaawr"

Oil, Palette Knife.

"Me? Sorta.."

Quick Self Portrait, Charcoal.

"Riza Garcia"

Mixed Media.

Same technique as "Josh", supposed to be the piece next to it. But never finished..

Unfortunate, because the Josh piece actually made it into Illest. Dang. Nxt yr..

Not one for conversation...

So here are some pictures...

James Dean

Oil Rub

James Dean

Scratchboard

Object Rendering: Sunglasses

Gouache

"Arbeit Macht Frei"

Oil on Carved Wood (w/barbwire+fabric)

Intense piece. Teacher hated it. Everyone else loved it. 

Too bad teacher marks the grade..

"Untitled"

Digital Painting

Digital piece I'm working on right now.. first time doing this.

There's a little guy running in the foreground, but I haven't yet figured out his body positioning.

"Josh Garcia"

mixed media - charcoal, watercolor, oil, gesso.

Just made this into Illest of Ill 08'. Woo!

So apparently I'm -really- lazy. It's been a minute since I've come back to this thing. School got busy quick. But now... a free moment. First, to start, here's some old paintings from high school. I'm not super proud of all of em, but you'll get an idea on how I was when I started painting. I came from a school with a pretty weak art department, so my painting was self taught. It's incredible to be at Ringling, learning how to really paint...I've learned so much so far, I can't believe it. I'll probably post more of this old stuff, the more I recover from the depths of my closet/ apartment.

the first of many? hopefully.

I finally got one of these things. Gotta rep. my shit, namean?

Now let's see how lazy I'm not...
