Girl with flying fish

Finished finally! I really need to work on this "not being lazy" thing more. I settled for huge flying Koi fish and a baby one smelling her hand or something. More of these to come!

Retro Carlos #2

So, I was looking on this old social networking site (maybe you can remember, it was called "mayspace" I think) And I found a picture of the first painting I ever sold. It's called Letting Go Of Hope and I sold it for $150.

I remember I was so excited when the money was exchanged. I felt like a real artist and was on super powerful creative rollercoaster afterwords. I can remember how happy I was that night.

Boy with flying "deer"

All I did was walk in to my apartment and this weird little dude on a flying deer thingy popped in my head. Kinda cool but not really.

Girl with big buddy

I imagine there's more to this picture. As though the story is in the back of my head just waiting to get out and let the world know of the adventures these two are having.

One day I will draw the rest. It won't happen til my back quits acting up. ARGH!
Everytime I sit down to draw, I get this tingly feeling in the middle of my back and it very annoying and is keeping me from drawing. Lame!

Retro Carlos #1

I decided to post up an old painting of mine at least once a week. This I did I think last year (way too lazy to get up from this chair and confirm). I call it Internal Love Battle and it's one of my favorites. It just looks really "artsy" to me. I genuinely put some emotion into creating ILB and always get the most complements for it.

What do you think?

Kinda abstract woman

I started this one awhile back and recently decided to attack it again. There were tons of lines I made with charcoal all over the canvas. Apparently, I wanted this piece to be very complicated (Probably the reason why I left it undone for so long). There are a few parts I painted in that frame I had wanted but mostly I simplified it. I think I saw the movie "Modigliani" with Pablo Picasso in it and thought I can do that! and I did.

I stuck with primary colors because I wanted this to be a simple piece, color wise. It's not really "abstract" since you can still tell what is what but the colors definitely lean towards the abstract side.

Let me know what you think!
Thanks for checking out my stuff!

Girl with baby thingy

I was going to make her hair red but I can't find my red marker and I still don't have my laptop yet (it has photoshop on it) so this will have to do. I might make one of these drawings the star of the new painting but am unsure which one to use.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.
