The King, The Queen, & The Witch

This is what I had more in mind when using gold or silver pen. It's simple yet has an elegant look. The difficult part was drawing the squares in the background.

Life, Death, & The After Life

These 3 art pieces were done for the show "Life, Death, and The After Life." It was the last show I was in 2011. The work was very tenacious. Sorry for the sucky photos.

Rob's Story

This is the first and last time I use white charcoal to do an illustration. It was difficult to do small details with charcoal. Especially, when your working on a 2.5"x3.5" card stock. I'll just stick to ink.

Metal Love Birds

These pieces were for another show back in September called Metal Love Birds. I actually had fun making these. Which would you guys say is my strongest and weakest piece from this 4?

Kaleidoscope Hearts

These art pieces where done for a show call Kaleidoscope Hearts back in August in 2011. It was a show about the diversity of LA. Can you guess the cultures just by looking at the icons? It was done on 16x20 canvas boards using ink & cel-vinyl.

ACEO's

These are just some of the ACEO's I have done since December 2011 until now. There are the size of baseball cards and are fun to collect and buy. Since they are very affordable art pieces you can buy. In addition, what makes them cool is that they are all one of a kind. You won't ever see the same art piece twice. I do sell them on e-bay which you can find here http://myworld.ebay.com/jjcruz00 when I do have new ACEO's to sell. Also you can see all the ACEO's I have done here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.186503461434129.47907.186038458147296&type=3
