This was a request from a customer...with the idea of my first "Amor Eterno" but adding swallow birds and creating them more "Dia de Los Muertos" face paint on them.

I really like how it came out! took me a while! but i am glad i finally have another piece to add to my gallery!

Can't wait to start on my next ones!! YES!!

When I started making this piece...I had in mind the sunflowers from the game Plants vs Zombies!! Great game to play by the way. Well the sunflowers in the game have big smiling faces and i wanted to put that on this piece!!! So i created the girl to hold this happy sunflower!

This is another "Dead Couples" piece I made. I wanted to create a "gangster" dead couple but i didn't want to put Amor Eterno in the banner because i had two already, but i had to put something. I was a Venice Beach selling my artwork with my girlfriend who makes bows, and i showed her my sketch. Then she came up with POR VIDA!!! haha the so it fit!!! and tan tan!

I was going for an Elvis like character...but it went wrong...and for some reason i didn't draw real teeth on him. This just made him look old... and when i added his shirt... he just reminded me of the main character for AMERICAN ME (james olmos) when he is was in prison. So old timer it became..!!!
