Artist | Design & Interfaces
United States
I earned my Associates Degree in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of California - San Francisco. I am a person who loves to create, and showcases personal artwork, and that's what this is what my deviant-art page is for, just to interact with other artists and post up artwork and have fun. And this is my second time creating a DA page. I did one back in 2009 and left a few months later. But the past is in the past.

I love the pen tool in Illustrator and most of my digital work is done using the pen tool. Sometimes I'll take my work to photoshop to add on a texture or two or just make some finishing touches. Most of my drawings and sketches are done in a regular blue or black pen. Come to think of it, I havent sketched in pencil in a very long time.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Nothing else, but.... glad to be here :).

Okay so here's what's going on....

Motor City Mondays The Deco Age:

I'm taking a break from this. Unlike last week I had a plan a possible design, but when I realized that I was starting at the last minute, my fears were confirmed that I was gonna run out of ideas and this was starting to become a chore, and I said to myself at the very beginning, if this starts to become a chore and I'm not getting any sort of enjoyment out of this, then this stops. It's feeling like it's reaching that point and I need to take a serious break from this. So yeah, I'm not gonna do anymore deco age posters for a while, until I can get my head together and regain that enjoyment out of making these, maybe I shouldn't do it every single week, I don't know. BUT I am taking my friends advice and in the coming months you may see a few deco posters that aren't automotive related at all. Rest assured, the Deco Age will return.

Possible MCM Spinoff:

I have an idea that I'm currently developing for another spinoff to Motor City Mondays. In some of the future deviations that may come out this month, I'll probably start teasing it and it's something that I think that I'm gonna have a lot of fun making though.

You do something long enough, you start to get faster at it. I've been vectoring for 3 years and I am realizing that I'm much more faster at it. So I think from here on out... I shouldn't have an excuse on not doing future illustrations because of anything that's related to my work pace.

Look I'm really thankful for the doing the Deco Age. I'm so happy I did this, but I do realize that I am capable of doing other art deco related illustrations that aren't automotive focused. Thank you for the support, and the Deco Age will come back I promise.

I would appreciate some feedback on what's going on right now. Always like to hear from you guys.
Take care.
