I had the pleasure of meeting an artist named Mandy Joy at her gallery Obsidian Fine Art inside the Arts Factory in Las Vegas, NV. She is creating some really amazing and meaningful art. In the interview we cover how she got into art, her current projects and future plans.

I just took a trip down to Sedona, AZ to run a marathon. The weather was amazing and the natural beauty here is abundant. My weekend in Arizona was very inspiring and the energy acquired on this trip will no doubt show up in my paintings.

Here is a quick timelapse I filmed while working on an 8×10″ canvas.

This painting is available in my ART SHOP

Welcome to the new year! This year I plan to try out some new mediums besides just acrylic paint. I am excited for what the future holds. I would like to update this blog at least 3 times a month with my art thoughts and ramblings. I will also be working on some new video content. Best of luck to you in whatever you plan to accomplish this year!

Here is one of my favorite paintings I did recently, experimenting with masking tape

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Hope you all are having a great holiday season!

Here is a new video where I tour some of the coolest murals in Downtown Las Vegas, NV.

I wanted to share this commission I completed earlier this year for a friend who gave it as a gift to his girlfriend for an anniversary. He gave me detailed parameters for what he would like and I did my best to paint with this direction.

1st Stage, a sketch with sharpies

2nd Stage, testing some colors in a rough draft

3rd Stage, the final composition

If you would like me to paint a commission for you please contact me through any of my social media pages.
