Halloween preinting sketch.

Chet zar and I will be displaying some halloween art at Stix board shop in monrovia Cali.

Here's a sneak peak at my submission.

Leftyjoe and A.P.E, illustration for hightimes magazine.

Thanks again to Matt Geiger of Natures Mistake, ( our clothing line at naturesmistake.net )
Matt is a friend of David Carbone, of  agriculturalpollenextractor.com
so Matt introduced David to Leftyjoe, an illustrator and artist that you all should keep your eye out for as he continues to work his way up the artistic ladder. :)

recent works from the last few weeks...

Sneak peek.

Leftyjoe

Digital paintings and illustrations from these last few days!!! :)

Practicing, always practicing and improving.

Jula jam from Drawingboard.org
I finally remembered to do an illustration for the Jula Jam on drawingboard.org

Vampire caveman for Bobby chiu's illustration competition.
Sucks though that I missed the deadline for the contest, but here's my lil illo.

I did a digital painting of my GF the other night.

Life changing experience at Thinkspace Gallery.

So, this last thursday I went to Thinkspace gallery to talk to LC. He does portfolio reviews every now and then. So, I finally did mine. Wow. That guy... I say he's the Oprah of the art world. (you know how Oprah will say something on her show, and it seems like what ever she mentions, becomes a best seller...)
Well, so this piece will probably be the last of the old Leftyjoe art.

In with the new Leftyjoe art. LC has given me purpose and direction. He suggested things for me to do with my art. And, brother.... I'm gonna listen. LC is an artist, gallery owner, art collect and more.... of course I'm gonna listen.

Thanks LC.

I'll be stepping out of the scene a lil, so that I can work on my next series of paintings.

Leftyjoe, emerging LA artist, not a baseball player.

Haha, I picked Leftyjoe as my artist name because Jose Torres, or Joseph Torres, or David Torres was too common. Well, there are a few other Leftyjoe's. lol
