sixx am close up

I’ve been sittin on this illustration for a little while. Over the holidays I spent about 5 days illustrating this piece of the band Sixx A.M. As some of you might know, they are in the studio right now recording a new CD. Nikki has been really good about twittering (tweeting) updates and it sounds like the new CD will be just increadable.

I drew this piece just for me, no real purpose, I just kind of saw the image in my minds eye and felt like drawing it.

Hope you enjoy.

Just got a call from the eitor of Wireless and Mobile News. They wanted to post my caricature of Steve Jobs on their web site. Very cool.

Something you may not know is I love to cook. In the last two weekends I’ve won two cook-offs. One, I beat my nefew in a rib cook off. His own brother said so.

The second cook-off was an Olympic Theme Chli Cook-off. We had to come up with an ethnic/international chili and compete for prizes. I took First place beating 8 teams with my “Puerto Rican Chili” I won a chefs hat, Offical 2010 Winter Olympic Gear and of course a blue ribbon.

All in good fun. Until next time.

Rock Girl

I am a big fan of pin-up girl art. Vargas, Runci, Petty etc.. you name it. They had a way of illustrating women that is just amazing. Every now and then I enjoy illustrating my take a pin-up girls. I always try to illustrate them as “empowered” and sexy. Of course being a huge fan of all things Rock-N-Roll, i usually try to work that into my art in some way.

This piece is available as a giclee. Give me a call, I can get you a price on any size you want up to 48″ tall.
