It’s always scary to learn new things and I’m so proud of my girlfriend for having the courage and placing her faith in me to teach her how to ride a bike. Almost there bumblebee, you did great today!❤️🐝🚲 #mylove #shessocute #bicicleta #bicycle #learning #helmet #safetyfirst #lessonone #quicklearner #teacher #practice #almostthere #iloveyou #bumblebee #monkey #beautiful #favoriteperson #liveandlearn #biker #bikergirl #cyclist #pasadena #roadwarrior

Glad to see this series of portraits through. What started as a personal project/assignment for a color theory class last term has finally seen completion and I’m so much better for it. #trolls #series #vintagetoys #artistry #oilpainting #enano #paint #artcenter #artcenterworks #illustration #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #drawing #painting #cute #hair #hairdresser #crazyhair #toys #realism #creature #creative #losangeles #pasadena #gallery #fineart #complete #color #instaart #artistoninstagram

The more I've been growing and getting better as a painter I've come to notice the flaws in my older paintings and their shortcomings. One of them being edges, so here you'll see the left arm and shoulder are smoothed out then the right. It increases depth and form and is much more believable than some cut out and pasted looking arm. Rarely are things ever that crisp and sharp in real life or at least in regards to how our eye sees things. #painting #tips #tricks #life #lifelessons #learning #arms #armday #oilpainting #illustration #fineart #gallerywork #surrealism #popsurrealism #closeup #detail

I've been keeping up with the new Star Wars Canon novels and let me just say, they're excellent. Must read for all Star Wars fans. Time to delve into this new and exciting world yet again with Timothy Zahn's Thrawn. #starwars #disney #thrawn #lucasfilm #novel #book #read #reading #canon #starwarscelebration #starwarscanon #timothyzahn #expandeduniverse #theempire #rogueone #theforce #jedi #sith #coverart #libro #newyorktimes #bestsellingauthor
