“Taking my time to perfect the beat” Oil on board, Portrait.

Tupac, Notorious BIG and Dr Dre. Sometimes going back to the foundation of art, stepping away from digital art, it feels almost challenging in a sense, to not being able to press the erase button, or adding a layer and being able to detach that layer with ease. Approaching a traditional painting in my perspective, it’s really for real, as everything you are doing you have to really feel it, to be aware that every decision you make, it will be an statement in the painting, it’s really important to get your values right in the beginning, as trying to fix those statements later on in the final painting stages, it feels like you are going against what’s supposed to be. The Overall resume of approaching a traditional painting nowadays, is to erase any thoughts of how long it will take, and do it purposely for having fun. I speak to a lot of painters nowadays, who choose digital painting over traditional, for the fact that it can be done so much quicker, and I would completely understand that, as nowadays we are more limited with time. However, sometimes for me, what matters is how it feels, and painting oil on board is such a pleasant feeling that will not be replicated in a digital painting. Thank you

Dog Portrait Tattoo

Realism Portrait Tattoo
Realism Portrait Tattoo of my clients dog who unfortunately passed away. I love to do Portraits and realism, however the hand is the hardest area of the body to tattoo. So I make sure to ask the client to come back for a touch up, as everyone heals very different on the hand. Specially depending on how they spend their day, clients who work manually are the ones who usually need a touch up for sure, those who work in a office or do not use the hands that much, usually heals better. However just to be sure, I book a second session, just to be on the safe side. Thank you 

Portrait Realistic tattoo of Bruno’s first born son

Bruno had an amazing image of his son, and as soon as I saw it, I was really happy with the quality. To achieve a good quality portrait, the quality of the image is very important. I really take my time when I tattoo a portrait. Thank you Bruno for choosing me to tattoo your son’s portrait on you, which i know it means a lot to you.

Colour Portrait of Chucky, out of movie Child’s play by Louis Santos

I have been working with Gareth for a while, however, when he asked me for a horror sleeve I was really happy with the request. We have worked on a colour portrait of Chucky, I didn’t want to get an image from google, so I watched the movie, and was happy when Chucky was in a snow scene, I liked the way it looked, so did Gareth. I’m happy to take movie related tattoos, it doesn’t have to be horror as I love any portraits out of movies, thank you Gareth

Portrait of Notorious BIG, oil on board, work in progress

Working in progress of this oil on board of Notorious BIG, I have been working on. I loved the series on Netflix, that’s what inspired me to work on this oil painting. I must admit, I wasn’t a big fan of Notorious BIG when o first heard his music, however Joe listened to it so many times on the studio that it grew in to me, now I love his music. Thank you for checking it out, I will be uploading an image of the finished painting.
