The Rising Tide Pictures

So I just recently got the time to upload some pictures on my Flickr page, and I totally forgot to show some here. The show was held at DDR Project Gallery this past Saturday. We had a blast!!! Live Music by my friend Tracy, Awesome friend of gallery owner John's friend being a sexy Geisha and alot of people coming in since we opened the doors.
So the show went well, and I can't wait to do something like this again some day. So on with the photos.

New Art Work

Hello everyone and I hope all is doing well. For me I've been trying to keep myself busy and deffinetly tired. But I can't let go of my pen so here is another finished art I did. It is the one where I drew directly onto glass and sealed it with clear resin. This image will also be a image for my skatedecks, which I collaborate with the best dudes at Laser Tag Cartel.

Title: HAKAI (Destruction)

Introducing NOBORYU!!!!

Today I will like to introduce everyone my very first figure, Noboryu!!! He was first sighted this past saturday at DDR Project Gallery in Long Beach. I am very happy and excited at the same time when the sculpt arrived. I've also just had a meeting wih Pretty in Plastic while I was down in LA this weekend, and it looks like he will soon be available this year if all goes well. He will also be making a appearance at this year SDCC at Mr. Frank Kozik's booth. Thanks Frank!!!!

The first release will be limited. All the figures will be hand painted by me. The release will most likely be Pre-Order style, so if you will like to be the first to know about it, e mail me to be on my mailing list and you will get all the scoops first. The price of the figure will range from $70 ~ $80, but this has not been decided yet.

So on with the full detail. I will like to introduce to you NOBORYU!!!

Noboryu figure specs, Information and Back Story:
Name: Noboryu
Height: About 8" tall
Articulation: The arms (This is being planned and worked on)
First Release Date: Hopefully by October or November of this year

Story:
No one knows how old Noboryu is, but he is believed to have been around since the very first human species were around. He lives in the clouds and watches over the people every day. Back when the first humans arrived, it was peaceful. So he stayed on top of the skies and enjoyed the peace.
That was until the current date. Today the world is filled with war, hate, murders, pollution and all the bad things you can think of. Noboryu started to realize this and knew that he had to do something in order to bring back the peace. So he finally came down to earth to bring happiness and luck to everyone in the world, hoping that all the chaos will end and that he can bring some happiness to all.

New inking surface!!!!

So today was a busy day for me. Getting alot of things ready for this weekends show and running around town. One of the tasks was to go get glass for my frames. Luckily I have a friend that his dad owns a glass shop. So I went by and he cut my glass for me. Then I asked if I can keep the scraps and he said sure. So I went home and suddenly I thought "What can I do with this scrap??....Dude!!! Draw on it!!!" So I got out my precious pen and ink and started testing the ink on glass. And man was I happy. It works!!! It dries fine and now I am in the process of working on a piece. Here is the photo of it that is parcially done. Got more to do, but I'll be having fun with this. Maybe I will do a series of these. We'll see.
