I did some concept art for the film Le poil de la Bête which wil be in theatres very soon. (Oct 1, 2010)

 I also did a maquette base on one of the drawings.

Festival de Peinture a Mascouche 2010

The festival this year was one of the more successful ones. I sold my first work of art (the first drawing from the right) and it was bought by our honorary artist Humberto Pinochet! What an honor. He is of Chilean origin but has been in Quebec for the past 30+ years. Check out his inspiring work on his website.
I also gave an atelier on portrait drawing to a group of fellow artists. It was nerve wracking since being in front of many talented artists! But I think it went well. :)

My corner at the festival.

Worked on a portrait of Allison when she was about 2-3 years old. pastel on Canson board 16x20.

I also did a portrait in oil of a young soldier. oil on canvas sheet 11x14

Predators movie

I am so excited....Friday July 9th ....Predators. One of the most challenging films I worked on. I hope it rocks! :)
