Sacral Chakra

The first color was purple, the next is orange. Pleasure, confidence, independence, the willingness to feel emotion. 

P.S. Edited a few hours later to be cropped into the correct size.

Third Eye Chakra

Here's the beginning of a project, woo! Colors/chakras/emotions/etc. First, Intuition, creativity, wisdom, passion.

Soul Siphon

I see the struggle between seduction and vulnerability everywhere.

Spring 2012 "Journey to the Centre of the Earth"

Here are the pieces I worked on all of last semester. I really kicked myself while getting to these final conclusions, to the point where I almost gave up entirely. For some reason I couldn't see them from my imagination's eyes. I was seeing them from an outside perspective from my own, and I wasn't fooling anyone with my awkward views and jarring angles. Somewhere along the line, Juan Carlos Porras showed me how to start drawing perspective grids on top of every thumbnail and said that eventually I wouldn't need them anymore. A week before the semester ended, I fully realized what that meant; I was finally INSIDE of my compositions. My imagination was running wild and I wasn't happy with each of these environments until they looked exactly like what I was seeing up there. I want to thank everyone that gave me advice along the way, if it weren't for you I might not be enrolling this semester. 

I posted these character designs even though I'm really not happy with any of them. They weren't anything like what I imagined, but I think I'll get there eventually. If I could do it with environments, the people can't be far behind.

Hey guys. I posted a work in progress of this, but today I had it finished. It hurt like a you know what, but it was so worth it. I really couldn’t be more satisfied with it. I’m going in a month to have it touched up to make it PERFECT! It really looks amazing though, and I’d recommend Moth and Dagger to ANYONE in the Bay Area looking for a tattoo. See below for the artist’s contact information and a brief speech about my tattoo for anyone who didn’t see it in my first post.

This tattoo isn’t so much a representation, but a rosetta stone of what’s most important to me. Read on to learn a brief piece of my story.

First off, I was an only adopted child for the first 19 years of my life. Over the next two years I moved out, got curious and connected with my bio-dad’s family in Ventura/Camarillo (thanks to internet research) and much more recently my bio-mom’s side in Arizona (thanks to facebook!). I now have two half sisters I visit frequently and a giant extended family to still get to know.

The first three dominoes “say” 06/14/90 (me), second 01/11/62(mom), and the third (though wonky for design purposes) 02/09/51(dad). My mom hasn’t been taking the “finding myself” thing so well, and no matter how much I tell her I love her, she feels like I’m slipping away. This is my way of showing her that I’m willing to go through pain to inscribe how important she is into my arm. When I was a little tyke my dad and I used to set up domino labyrinths in the garage. He will surely hate that I got another tattoo, but I’m sure he’ll shed a tear or two when I share the concept with him.”
