Opening Night!!!!!

This past Friday my art show opened, I've spent the past month preparing for this show and it turned out better than expected.  I wasn't able to do all new pieces for the show since I was doing all the logistics but, I did get a few new pieces ( I'll post them in a few days) done that I was quite happy with.
We estimate that a few hundred people came through that night which it great for a first time event and the shop offered to let me hold annual show their.  I 'm not sure what's next for me but as of right now I just going to keep painting and showing my portfolio around as much as I can.  

Art Show

It was a rough start when I moved back to California in June but things lately have been giving me some hope.  I've been putting together this show over the past few weeks, I think that my work will pay off opening night so if your in California drop by. 

Thanks,

Nicolas

The fruits of my labor (and the labor of at least five other people who ive never seen)

So I've been working from home these past few weeks on a game for the Milky Elephant guys, who in turn were working for Sports Illustrated for kids. This is what we did:

Everyone, play it. It's kinda fun! I did a lot of prep work and animations using the artwork they provided, but I DID draw and color and animate the spaceship that flashes by the left side of the screen after the kid falls through the cloud. It is also one of your opponents in the foot race. HOORAY!

Company Poster

Hey Guys,

I hope the summer has been treating everyone well.

Here is some new illustration work for my job. The company I work for is called Aardvark Design and I was given the task of designing a poster for a moving notice/open house party invite package. The cool thing about doing the poster is that it didn't have to relay any specific information. Anyways I gave them two versions. Hope you enjoy.


P.S. This poster also marks what may be the begining of a long and prosperous modeling career.
