Ugly Kids

Ask me anything   I am an artist, an illustrator, living in San Francisco. The art that I create expresses the things I like or admire. Constantly evolving and changing, inspired by music, literature, movies, what people say and what people do. Art is for me, one of the most raw and expressive actions I can present. It is what it is, how I felt at the time of creation in one way or another.

This blog is exactly that. It's a collection of the things that influence me and inspire me. The pieces you see here are mostly made off the fly, a quick sketch or just an experiment. You'd never see these pieces in a gallery. All this is a view into the process and my almost daily routine of creating.

Here’s a stencil I made to explain how to make stencil art. A very cliche graffiti subject, but I’m pleased. Stencil

Atmospheric thumbnails. I tried to think of a wide array of different subjects to play with, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. However, I think some of these are solid ideas so I’m going to take a step further a few.
