I'm starting a new coaster art. Here's Elton John and Elton as Pinball Wizard from the movie, "Tommy".  I'll be making few more with different costumes to complete one Elton John coaster art.



Finished the first new painting of 2019 inspired by the film, Barbarella.

No need for guns when you have bananas...!

 

Bananarella - 8"x10" acrylic on board.


I painted this coffin box during the Day Of The Dead last week. Such a beautiful Mexican tradition to demonstrate love and respect for deceased family members.

Finished Black Sabbath aluminum can tab coaster art few weeks ago. 



Started the aluminum can tab coaster art of the Black Sabbath. I'm making the original Black Sabbath, the early years so they look young. So far, here are Ozzy Osbourne, lead vocalist and Tony Iommi, lead guitarist.

I got a commission to paint the new version of "Awakening" from 2014 which was SOLD. I wanted to update the painting since I've grown as an artist and also, the art has grown. I am constantly changing with the times to be a better artist and a human being. I'm grateful that my client gave me the freedom to paint my own new version. Here's the work in progress of the face.
