Portrait Painting - Little Rey

Here's an oil portrait that I did as a Christmas present for my cousin Reymundo. The portrait is of his son "Little Rey." I presented the painting to them at Little Rey's birthday party this last weekend. So far as I can tell, the painting was well received. Let's hope that it will be well cared for, as well.

Easy Glider Final

Ok, the client wanted the text changed a little bit, so here's the final version of "Easy Glider."

Pinc Tacos!

Since I only currently have 1 follower on my blog, I'm hoping that I'll draw some attention with what I'm working on, now (drumroll) ..................................
PINC TACOS! This is the logo that I came up with after several revisions. This logo will be the spearhead for all of the marketing.


I'm on assignment with a couple of guys that do custom .45 work, and now they're out to make a line of apparel. They're heavy into motorcycles and pin ups. Someone handed them my card and called me to do all of the pin up work for their clothing line. The company is called "Pinc Tacos." Basically pin up girls and pink taco bell tacos. It's cheesy and kitsch but that's pin up, right? So I'm pretty excited.
I'll be putting up some more of the stuff that I'm working on, but here's some shots for now.

This was the sketch that I did after hearing the client's ideas.

This was the sketch that I showed the client. He quickly approved, so I moved on to the next step.

Adding Color!

After several revisions, and knowing that the t-shirts would be black, this is the final image that will be printed on the T-Shirts, keep an eye out for them.
