Don't cry world..the best is yet to be!

Latest installment of the crying world series. Better times are around the corner, no?

Memorial to Compact Discs! Remember those?

This was a tribute to CDs. They played a powerful role in our young lives and have since been replaced with digital files.  For this painting, I prepared some of the CDs that meant a lot to me and crazy glued them to a canvas, which I painted black.  This painting now hangs above my desk in the office.

Painting for my beloved Milena!

This was a gift to my fiance.  It includes the very elements that are dear to us both; love, tennis, and the city. Not long after I gave this painting, we got engaged! Coincidence? I don't think so :-)

The making of a Happy Birthday Painting: AB

Hello, hello again.

This was a Happy Birthday painting for a long time friend who I have chilled with, worked with, laughed, cried, boozed up with and smoked a cigar or two with.  The painting incorporates the various elements that are in his life including his wonderful wife, child, San Francisco, hobbies, work, and their new home.  Hope you like it.

Making of "Watch what you say and do" painting

Hi guys,

I've always been intrigued by a concept of karma as well as how our actions and words impact others over a certain time.  This is a pretty interesting painting in that it explores words and actions and how much of an impact they make.  It could have come out a bit better, but for a first painting in this series it's not bad I will admit :-)

The making of a Happy Birthday gift to a good friend!

Hi guys,

This was a Happy Birthday gift to a long-time friend Myles Ward.  My fiance helped with concept creation along with QA of colors throughout the way.  I think it turned out quite well and signifies the strength and continues growth of his entire family (who I have known for quite some time). Below are the visuals of how the painting came to be from concept design to finished product.

Mothers Day Gift to Grandma Tamara!

Hello friends,

This was a gift to my fiance's grandmother for Mothers Day.  The day was filled with lots of food, drinks, toasts, laughter, and tears of joy.  A small token of my appreciation was this painting I did the day before.  Take a look at some of the pictures from the party and the painting itself.  Hope you like it.
