state of mind

something I have been working on and messing around with a bit.

Inspiration

 

Charles Burns, Zeloot, Jim Houser, Ana Bagayan

Just some images that I find inspiring.

white waters

This was a comic that I was in an exhibit in my school. It was really the first completed comic I have ever done.

I want to do more comics, and hopefully have a mini comic zine out at some point.

STICKERS

ok so my dad gave me this industrial roll of HIGHLIGHTER ORANGE stickers. It is much more saturated in person, but any way I decided it would be cool to make these into stickers

some linoleum and block ink and I have made these stickers. I have always been a fan of bold graphics and folkloric images and combing them into stickers was really fun.

Work in progress

I have decided that at this moment in my life I am more of an abstract painter. Which surprises me actually. I always wanted to aspire to be more of a realist, or illustrative painter only because of my strong background in illustration.

But after taking a painting course last semester, I found myself painting more abstract work so here is some recent progress.

acrylic on wood board, found images on the background.

so it is not done yet I will be sure to work on it some more and post my results.

This is the begining

My name is David and this is La Bodega.

My last blog was to document my process as an artist, but that failed.
It instead turned into journal of sorts with a platform to link to my mixes.

But this blog I want to keep focused on all things relating to art, design, and illustration. I want to show my process, progress and inspiration. I figured one could be the random journal, and the other the more focused blog on work.

so here it is.
