Downtown Skate Grill

This metal grill was a lot of fun to paint. The area of town however is very depressing. I was on fourth and Sanpedro in the heart of skid row surrounded by countless of homeless people... I wish I could have done something to help directly.

Melrose and Fairfax Electric Box

It's been a while since my last update but here's a little something to tie you over until my next post.

DUCE Paints Live @ GOLDWELL Award Show

I was invited to paint live during the 2013 GOLWELL COLOR ZOOM AWARDS at the NOKIA theater in down town Los Angeles. I painted for an entire hour at the very beginning of the show and then came out again in the middle of a show to draw a dress on transparent plexy glass to crate the illusion that I was actually drawing the dress on the model that was standing  behind it. I will post those pictures later. A big thanks goes out to Kathleen and Kevin for bringing me on board for this project.

Egyptian tomb Cox Farms

This was the last and final project I painted for Cox Farms. I really enjoyed my time hear. It is such an amazing and fascinating place. I would like to thank the Entire Cox family for flying me to Virginia and their hospitality. And a big thank you to Jennifer and Seana for their help in painting all of the artwork in one weeks time. I could not have done it with out them.

Our second project today consisted of painting a logo Keren Kemp and I designed for Cox Farms. Jen helped me again and made this day go smoothly and faster... Considering it was super hot and humid. BTW, thanks for the drinks Jen.

DUCE goes to Virginia and paints Cox Farms Space Ship

I was asked to come to Virginia an paint an existing Space ship. The request to add a little flare to it and make it look more like a space ship. If this isn't a challenge then I don't know what is. I accepted and created these illustrations based on some pictures I was sent.

This is what I came up with on my first try.
