Mechanical Eden Redraw

I decided to redraw one of my art pieces digitally, but nothing beats the original. Although, redrawing the image digitally gave me the advantage, that I was able to draw perfect lines. It is very difficult to draw straight and circular lines by hand. I'm very happy with this turn out.

Original (sorry for the poor quality photo)             

Tomb Raider Contest

This is the piece I entered to a Tomb Raider contest on deviantart. Simple, yet stylish. A bit off from what I had in mind for the background.

8-Bit Graphics Anyone?

Here is a preview of what I'm going to have in the next show, and as the title suggests. It's going be pixelated art.

My favorites from 2012

Here are my favorite pieces from 2012. Time to push myself even more this year.

Hip-Hop Machine

This piece was inspired after being invited to the hip-show (see previous post). This piece actually have me some problems, specially around the DJ turn tables. If I added black to the turn tables your eyes would focus in that area, So I decided to just leave it blank. It was a hard choice but it work out in the end. Hopefully. This is also up at my store front for sale. http://society6.com/juanjcruz  

Tea Time

I finally finish my Tea Time piece. This was originally a piece for a flyer about tea and calligraphy, but the event got cancelled. However, I decided to finish it. It's hand drawn. Since this was a design for a flyer that explains the layout.

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.
