Ever wonder what the Avengers do when they're not saving the world? Here's a little glimpse into their day off.

Portrait series

Kira

Jia

Cathleen

Amanda

Hey Everyone! So, this past month I was honored to be featured in a group portrait show called The People We Know at B2 in South Philadelphia. I wanted to say a big thank you to those of you who made it out to see the work. For those that couldn't, here they are. I did a series of portraits of good lady friends of mine, using flowers both as a decorative frame and as an understated, symbolic way of highlighting prominent features in each girl's face. Kira, with the long hair, uses wheat to emphasize the golden brown tones in her flowing locks. Jia has lovely full lips, so tulips were an obvious option. Cathleen has such striking eyes, and while hers are naturally brown I stretched reality a bit and made them a deep purplish blue to match the irises. And Amanda always has blushing rosy cheeks.
The concept was kinda corny, I know. But it looks pretty right? I'm happy with them. Hope you like them too :)

Without You

Along with redoing my website again, I've been working on this painting for an art contest for the past month. The contest is based on the 7 deadly sins. The one I chose as a theme is lust. The quote is based on a song by a portuguese singer. Hope yall like it.

Queen of the Dead

Here's my entry for the show. When researching the holiday, the idea of doing a portrait of the goddess Mictecacihuatl seemed fun. To the Aztec people she was the queen of the underworld, and oversees what has now become the modern Dia de los Muertos festivities.

Custom T-Shirt Design

So I just made this t-shirt for fun the other day. This was my first experience with fabric markers which turned out to be really fun to work with. This was kind of a gift for my sister so I had her model it. The image is a lady surround by flowers with a flying bee in talk bubble I'm happy with the results. I will definitely be making more tees now.
