Sketchbook pieces

These are two drawings from my sketchbook. The first one is poking fun at the stereotypical 'bro' you will find at a party. The one underneath is just a still life done in charcoal. 

Wire Tree Sculpture

This is a wire sculpture piece that I made last year for my conceptual practices class(Spring 2011). The assignment was to make three different pieces: one representing beauty, one representing art, and another representing irony(this one was beauty)

Jellyfish Sculpture

This was my very first steel sculpture piece and I am madly in love with this piece. Its all steel welded together and I am very happy with how it came out. This picture was taken after I finished it(It is intended to be hung). 

Painting Pieces

These are two paintings that I did for last semester(spring 2011) painting class. They first one is a still life of some fabric and a candle. The second one is an appropriation piece of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night with the candle from the still life in the painting. 

Family of Wolves

This is a drawing from my sketchbook. It is one copy out of two(I made a much larger version). It is called La Famillia De Los Lobos it was done in ink and watercolor. 

Painted TOMS

Over this past summer, I bought myself a pair of TOMS(If you don't know what/who they are, TOMS is a shoe company that sells really comfortable shoes and every pair you buy they give a pair of shoes to a child in need) but rather then ordering it online I went to a local store to buy a pair. However, when I went to the store they were out of the color that I wanted, but they had my second color choice. So I bought them already thinking about what design I was going to put on them, and I came up with this. It is acrylic paint and gesso and I wear them all the time and I get compliments(sometimes offers) on them wherever I go. 

Mural

For Father's Day I painted this mural for my Dad in the kitchen at my home( I live in West Palm Beach). It took me about three days to finish it but it came out better than I thought it would. This will probably be how I'll be getting money when I go home next.  

Shark Installation

This is my final project for my Conceptual Practices class from last semester(Spring 2011). It was part of a class collaboration installation where we constructed dangerous animals(mine is made of chicken wire, PVC, and plaster) and place them around campus to give the passerby a sense of uncomfortableness from the fact that there are all theses animals around campus that shouldn't be there.
