It's time to Work on this again!!!

Alright.... So it's time..again..I gotta start working my ass off and keep updating this blog if I'm going to be taking down my "never updated" site. Thats right. I'm going to be cancelling my site and use this as my main page for info and so on from now on. It's almost 2012 and I need to work on this more. I just wish I had more time in doing so. Maybe I need to keep my laptop with me at all times.

Anyways, to start the re-update for this site, I decided to post my WIP piece for the show I have been invited to for next year. It will be held at DRAGATOMI in Sacramento. The theme is "Year of the dragon" which I am so happy to be a part of. So here is the piece. I hope you all will enjoy this once it's done. Any comments are always welcome.

Once I finish the piece I will be posting it up here on this blog page. Thanks again for all the love and support. Lets make 2012 the best year...cause it may be the last according to the Myan calendar....woooooooooo.....

"Creature Feature" at Lulubell, May 7th 2011

So it's been a while since I posted anything on my blog. i've been so busy with work and personal life things. I'm also getting to my career goal step by step. Gotta do what I gotta do for it. If your wondering what that is, I am currently apprenticing to become a tattooer. It's a long road but it's worth it.

So anyways, here is my piece for the upcoming show at Lulubell in Arizona. This piece was created probably on how I feel about myself. Being not "normal" to many people, esp my family, I feel that this creature is probably representing me in a way.


Well I hope you guys like this piece. Please feel free to comment on what you think. I'm alsways happy to hear what others think. thank you for the support and the follow. it gives me the stregth to keep going and learning and creating.

The first post of 2011!!!!

First off I will like to say Happy New Year to everyone out there. This year I am planning to post more than last year. I haven't really been posting much and I thought it'll be a good idea to post more on whats going on. So here goes. My first post for the new year.

This Saturday, I am happy to be part of a 4 man group show at the awesome shop/gallery DRAGATOMI.
The show is titled "Monster Party" and the artists that will be exhibiting is Mark Nagata, Gatchabert, D-Lux and I. This show is going to have alot of custom figures painted by some of the best custom painters out there. Unfortunately I will not be submitting any custom figures this time. I didn't have any cash for figures to paint. So instead I am planning on having a few 2D pieces up on the wall.
The pieces I have done represents alot of the traditional Japanese Yokai. Why did I choose some of these instead of the traditional Godzilla or Gamera??? Well I grew up listening to stories from my mom, who is a big Yokai Fan. The thing about the yokai's is that they are told to scare kids in doing bad things. For instance, the Choochin Obake is a lantern ghost. They are imagined and told to kids so they don't play with the lantern and cause a fire in the house.
So since growing up listening to these stories, they were considered monsters to me.

So if your free this coming Saturday, please go out and check out the works by all these awesome artists.
