"Evolutions #1"

UPDATE, 7/5/13

This is my most recent project and it is still evolving. Getting close to being finished soon, I hope!

"My Beautiful One"

I always have fun painting angels. Sometimes when I need consolation and can't find it at a certain time in another person I'll just make a painting of consolation, and it makes me feel better. I also hope it helps calm the viewer too. This piece was completed in 2004, and is now in the possession of my fiance.

"Fuck You All!"

Growing up, I never had a voice before. Then I took a painting class and found my voice. When I did this painting, it was meant as a deliberate "Fuck You!!" to bad things (and people) happening to me and my loved ones. And since this was my first most personally important painting, it had to be the backdrop for this blog. No one should ever have to be silent. This painting is now in the possession of my fiance.

"Omerta"

"Omerta" ("omit" in English) is the word used by the Mafia as a warning about keeping secrets hidden on pain of death. This was painted at the same time as "Fuck You All!" but is the exact opposite meaning. I was in this same position of having to keep my mouth shut to keep from making problems my loved ones were involved in from becoming even worse. I hated having to do this, so this painting was my outlet of the rage of keeping myself quiet on others' behalf. Both were finished in 2009, and hence why they were used as the avatar and background to form my personal dichotomy.
