this style is very similar to his.
I remember reading Batman Year 100 a few years back
and his style always fascinated me,
so i think i picked it up slightly just through appreciation.
The black eye was inspired by this Gorillaz piece for Plastic Beach.
He looks like a New Yorker or maybe a middle eastern fellow? I definitely can hear a Brooklyn accent when i imagine it.
Maybe he's a mob boss?
You decide,
(ears suck!)

By the time I'm 25 I want to be living in Chile as a succesful artist (3d?)
My direct response to that statement is: What do you define as success?
Ever since returning back for my junior year in high school I realized I wanted to grow up to be a successful artist. In Chile.
Not knowing how I was going to get there, but what art-form I would choose.
The Pen.
They say "The pen is mightier than the sword"
But they never said what kind of pen >_<
pen, pencil, bow, flute, vocal it doesn't matter.
The art is what matters.
"...in all it's heavenly glory" - B.Lee
When I went to Chile that 7th time for my summer I saw cousin's art framed in his parents house. I thought "Oh, that's nice." And by the way it was an amazing self portrait(profile) done with white chalk on black paper. I also saw my cousin start his own business in the capitol, Santiago. Only until many years later would i realize that, those little music,record,graffiti, clothing shops were the 1st of it's kind for THE COUNTRY of Chile.
Now, I can confidently say that my 1st cousin Nelson (Cekis) Rivas II was apart of the catalyst for the movement and growth of Hip Hop in that part of the country and continent.
Nelson now resides in a lovely concrete jungle known as Brooklyn. He flourished in Chile then flew to my country The US of A and I ultimately want to return the favor.
That simple, in its concept.
Life is about enjoyment, doing what you love. You don't have to be on your death bed to realize that.
And I think life will love you back in return.
Of course this is a overly optimistic opinion right now.

"Ya gotta roll with the punches, kid." - some guy
Roll, build momentum, generate yourself, flip the switch, 1 not 0, redemption.
"We don't always get second chances."
But we do!
It's not over til it's over.
I'm 22.

I had to finish another one before bed. Gotta earn that sleep :P My body needs it too! Aches and pains all over, i need sleep to heal and recharge. Wouldn't hurt if I saw a doctor once in a while.

1st colors
I'm really happy how this came out. Colors are my soft spot so i get usually get out of it by keeping it simple. I just started with at gray base and added into the wrinkles with a 25% black brush. It was important to add and erase small details in the corner to make the forms pop. The splatter is just a brush set i downloaded online. Most of the layers were blended together using 'Overlay', 'Soft light', 'Exclusion' and 'Hard Light'

Updates
I must admit, I haven't been keeping up with my own blog lately but i have been following others via GoogleReader. It seems like all i have time for is just right clicking and adding images to my visualize account. Plus my flickr account is easier to add to than blogger.
But now i've returned and am trying to say that i've been working full time as a Production/Technical Assistant @ Slash FX since last Sept. It has truely been a blessing in more ways that i can count. Being surrounded with veterans of VFX industry and hearing all the wonderful and horror stories of different productions. AND now i can say that i've part of that ilustrious group of movie makers. Rotoscoping counts right??? Percy Jackson & The Lightening Thief is apart of my resume now and i'm currently rotoing on another film due out later this year.
All of this wouldn't be possible without the help of my fellow Ex'pressionist Joya Clark, a brilliant, kindhearted soul who has changed my life forever.
