For Those Who Do Not Have a Valentine...

Happy Valentine's Day!
I wanted to make sure I made you all a valentine before I left for New York so i painted this for you.
I hope you're having a great V-Day with your special someone,
or if you don't have anyone, you can be my valentine today ;)
Do any of you have anything fun planned???
My brother and I are going to Chris Benz's show later today!

Me + Ruby-Jean Wilson Backstage at Andy & Debb

Hey Friends! Thanks for all the comments on the Proenza Schouler Painting & on the Speed painting Video! :)
It really means alot! I've been trying to comment back to everyone one that comments :)
The photo today is one i took Backstage at Andy & Debb show of the lovely Ruby-Jean Wilson.
It's really funny how it turned into a self portrait!
Just so happen, when i took the picture, I lined up perfectly in the make-up mirror.
Looks so trippy, like it was two picture merged together.
So funny! Well, i hope you like the picture. :)
Hope you're having a great night!
i'm off watching the 1977 animated version of the Hobbit with my family!
Have any of you seen that movie or the animated Lord of the Rings Movies?
So incredible, huh? I grew up on them... so good! :)

A Self-Portrait for Models.com

Hello friends,
How is your weekend going?
Mine was great!
We celebrated my mom's birthday,
and then had a family reunion today.
It was amazing seeing everyone.
Well for those of you who didn't see the Models.com article.
the painting above is the Self Portrait i did for them.
I have to say i think it's my favorite Self Portrait so far.
I really hope you like it! :)

P.S. Have you all seen Gossip Girl? Someone said they thought they saw my painting in Chuck Bass's room?
I've never seen the show and don't know who Chuck Bass is... but am dying to know if the painting was in there?
I think that would be funniest/coolest thing to see if it is in the background.

P.S.S. Thank you idiom row for the portrait you painted, you're amazing!

Collages, Daydreams, and Doodles

Wow it's midnight here so happy Friday!
It's not too often (like never!) that i collage...
I know this isn't too much of a collage...
but i kind a just felt like making one today.
It just felt like one of those days.

My brain has been drifting off to dreamland alot lately,
so i thought i would make this little journal collage thingy.
i have to say, it was pretty fun to make.
I really hope you like it!
and happy Friday my friends! :)

Oh yea, and P.S. it's not too often someone gives me a drawing,
but Maria Korkeila was kind enough to draw a portrait of me.
i posted it up on my image diary

Self Portrait 2.0

Hello my friends,
How are you doing?
Well, i'm currently working on an interview (which i will fill you in on soon :)
but for it, i repolished and reworked up my former Self Portrait.
You remember this one?
It's the one i made a speed up video about a year ago.
If you want to see the video Click Here.
But yea, i ended up painting more on it and completely reworking it.
i hope you like it. :)

I Play With Crayons

Hello friends, please forgive my quick sabbatical.
My 4 best friends came into town and reunited in the first time in a while.
We have all been friends since i was in 2nd grade,
so needless to say, i was out and about.
Posted some pictures from it up on my Image Diary.

The picture i posted is a goofy self portrait i did with a little Crayon set.
It was really fun drawing and coloring with crayons.
Wow, there are so many fun things to do when you are a little kid;
coloring, playing tag, playgrounds, Hide and Go Seek, the hot lava game.
i'm been really wanting to play thoses games lately.
i need to find a group to play it with... and probably need to find a good forest for it, too.

Got the Mondays?

Good morning, good morning.
It's a nice cold morning to start a busy week.
How was your weekend?
Well, first off Penter from The Familiar Strangers did an interview with me.
It was quiet fun, a lot of great questions.
If you want to check it out (Click Here)

Also, i started another blog that is connected to this one.
it is my Image Diary. There are no words to it.
Just hope to post a picture or two a day on it.
i thought since igor + andré is an art blog,
i didn't want to dilute it with pictures,
so i made a new blog dedicated to documentry photography.
Since photography was what i first started in school,
i thought i would start getting back into it. :)
(Click Here) to check it out.

Oh and lastly, the drawing today is a self portrait i did a couple years ago in my journal.
i hope you like it! Have a great day today!
Hi ho, it's off to work i go!

Finally the Video.

Good Morning, Good Morning, i love the Morning.
Finally the Video! i promised i would get it to you,
and wow, i had to jump through a few hoops to get it done,
but i really like how it turned out.
The song is by one of my best friends since i was in kindergarten, Mr. Ryan Baxley.
He is Brilliant! One of those Musical Genuis'.
Yep, yep! That is him singing and playing.
Please check his music out by clicking here

For those who couldn't tell what materials i used it was pen, then watered down ink, then colored inks,
then Prismacolor pens, colored pencils, then blended them.
I really hope you all like the video and i hope it answers some questions.

Say Hello to Mr. Self Portrait.

Good morning, good morning!
I'm happy to present you a self portrait i did yesterday.
Don't be scared; i'm not mean.... hahah
The portrait looks kinda mean. i usually have a smile on my face,
but i don't draw smiles too well.... so i went with the serious look,
like a 1920's portrait.
Well, i'm not done with the video yet.
Should post it tomorrow maybe.
