Here is a little haiku written by a performance artist about my work:

"Beauty is captured

Like a fish from the water

And then it's released." 

(pretty cool)

jarritos!

I did a painting for the Jarritos Flavor City design contest. Jarritos is a Mexican soda brand, with delicious flavors. I had so much fun working on this piece, except the only problem with painting Jarritos is that you get really thirsty.... 
Here is my submission with detail views and pics of the progress. Enjoy!

"mango and piña"

detail 2- chug it!!

The contest guidelines stated that you needed to include the Jarritos logo as well as at least one of their bottles. I chose to paint the flavors 'pineapple' and 'mango' because not only are they yummy, but also because I love working with yellow and orange. 


Here are some of the progress shots:
