fire and ice

a couple pieces for The Kids Are Alright show at Black Maria Gallery this coming saturday.

The Jungle Books
by Rudyard Kipling

These are a few illustrations for a project I'm working on with a friend. For a class project he's re-branding the Penguin Books logo and design. It was fun to re-read the jungle books in a perspective other than the well-known Disney version. There's a lot of heart in Kipling's words and messages that I can appreciate now reading them as an adult.

Title: Elixir
Size: 24" x 24"
Media: Acrylic + Gouache on Canvas

This is for a traveling group show that I got a chance to be a part of, The Kids Are Alright. It includes some greatly talented artists who I respect so I feel lucky to be a part of it.

This piece will be at Subtext Gallery in San Diego with the show opening next friday.

class: illustration for publishing
term: 5.5
summer 08

this was a series of illustrations on a childhood memory. in my elementary school days, we lived in glendale on a little street where there were lots of kids and a small park a couple blocks away. one of the best times of my life. played mini softball in front yards, barbie convertibles, peach pie in the summer, pink and white roller skates, sidewalk chalk, sonic the hedgehog, gex, dressing up cats and kittens, monster dogs, mysterious houses, log cabins, walking to the liquour store that gave us old magazines for free, bubble tape, rainbow brite, summer crushes, pinatas.. lots of memories. this series started because of a neighbor's clubhouse they had in their backyard. i've always wanted a treehouse but we never got one. my dad worked a job in wholesale so we always had a bunch of cardboard boxes in the garage that we played with. it's funny how expansive a child's imagination can go..
