Artist person. Storyboards pay but I’d like to do more illustration
This is from an old DTIYS from BottlingSunshine #art #watercolor

Here’s one of the jitney buses in my local community. #art #watercolor #sggchjrdvbgdtbgggdvhjdssc sigh. Feels like I get farther and farther from doing something new

This was the scene of a fire that took place a few years ago in my city.

I took part in #tekenuurtje2023 with this photo for Digismith by Jaime Cabrera Huidobro. I forgot it was supposed to be an hour, took me way longer. Went for an ukiyo-e and Mœbius look.

Hackensack River from Mill Creek Point Park in Secaucus, NJ. Sometimes I go here to ponder life #art #watercolor #nj #secaucus

It’s campaign season again and this is what I see on a daily basis in my city. Look everything else I’m reposting, this is old. We no longer have party voting columns like this. #art #vote #campaign #watercolor While I’m at, vote Zohran Mamdani. Don’t rank Cuomo #nycmayor #nycelection

One of favorites. Most of my paintings are realistic but sometimes I’ll do one where I insert Colombian mythological or folkloric figures into my US hood. This is El Mohan, I made him a little more Jason Mamoa than how he’s traditionally depicted. #art #watercolor #jerseycity #nj #Colombia #elmohan

In following HudPost, I saw a lot of overturned cars so I decided to paint one of my own #carflipchallenge I was embarrassed cause I based one officer on a real one I know, I just changed him for the worse. Turns out I didn’t go far enough in the changes and he found out 😐 #art #watercolor

Drew myself a while ago. Wanted to capture some of the stress I get when I art. I don’t know how people have fun doing this. Maybe you need to get over that line, where you don’t make mistakes and things come out like u envisioned them,but that requires lots of practice which I don’t do anymore #art

Keep forgetting to post here.This is from one of my travels. Haven’t really traveled (not fam visits) since covid. I would like to start again but I’m rusty. Here’s this guy from who sells different from the back of his van in Kamakura, Japan. Idobata Coffee #coffee #japan #kamakura #art #watercolor

Here’s another oldie. I have mixed feelings on this one. Like the subject matter and technique but something feels off. Maybe bad composition or not enough contrast. Not sure.

Forgot to post this. I gotta admit I’ve been a little more active on the 📕 app than on here. And why am I self censoring? 🤷‍♂️ #art #watercolor #lapola #westnewyork #war

Here’s one I did based on my younger years sneaking around the city at night to partake in illegal activities.

Took a while to post this because I’m trying to get these in sync with Xiaohongshu.

This is one of my favorites. I wanted to display the old Union City with the Cuban botanica in the back, and a Mexican or Central American man in front.

Here's one I did based on something I saw. I thought of skipping this one, as I am skipping posting old work that I don't like. I still like the colors and spirt enough, there's just some sizing, spacing, or perspective things that look off to me.

Keep forgetting to be as active here, especially since I've been spending too much time on Xiaonhongshu. Here's another oldie. This was based on real life, except he was on the other side of this overpass, facing away from the city, and it was day time. 😐

I almost forgot I was posting my old art (leaving out the ones I didn’t like). Here’s one after after Johannes Vermeer’s Milkmaid #art #watercolor #Vermeer #milkshake #hudsoncounty #bergenline #illustration

I took a photo of these iconic steps in West New York, NJ and it reminded me of a Hasui Kawase shin-hanga print. So I tried to emulate the style, a bit. Long versions in my YouTube #art #watercolor #watercolour #illustration #hudsoncounty #urbanart #hudsoncountynj #westnewyork #westnewyorknj

Only 4 of my Hudson Co. watercolor series this year. Sure I could've added some commissions, fanart, and storyboards, but this is the main reason for this page.

Here’s my latest. This is West New York, NJ. I had a super low output this year. Only 4 of this series, last year was probably a dozen. How do people draw everyday? #art #watercolor #newjersey #hudsoncounty #illustration #westnewyork

Work in progress. Hope I don’t mess it up. All this time and watercolor still scares me. #art #watercolor #westnewyork
