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.

Skier Update!

Just wanted to post this quick update on the Pinc Tacos skier. A friend of mine from RMCAD suggested that I try doing a high-key pinup, so that the flesh doesn't look so "Hard." I'm not sure if I've quite achieved it, yet, but it's certainly starting to pop.

Pinc Tacos - Skier Spraying the White!

So you saw the snowboarder, now here's the skier that I'm working on. This is second draft that I've sent to Pinc Tacos of this pose. Once again, the catch-phrase for this winter series will be "It just feels right to spray the white!"

Pinc Tacos - Spray the White

Here's The next Pinc Tacos Project that I'm working on. the theme of it is a series of sexy skiers and snowboarders to market up at the resort town novelty shops. The phrase that we're going with is, "It just feels right to spray the white!" Here's the first snowboarder that I've started to develope. Not finished yet, but I thought I'd share a process shot. Done in Photoshop CS4 w/ Wacom Intuos 3 tablet.

One Hot Burnout - Pinc Tacos update

Here's the bike I'm working on, for the next pin up. I'm getting a photoshoot together, for this pose, but it's been very difficult to coordinate 3 girls, one bike, and the weather all on one day. I'm really getting ready to tear some hair out of my head, at this point.

Easy Glider Final

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