As a once psychology major, I was intrigued by Freud’s theory on the id and ego of the human psyche. It has been many years since those classes so my words may be somewhat off. But this piece is a self representation (aren’t they all?) of myself and how the “id” and “ego” play in our life decisions. We all seek pleasure and that constant feeling of euphoria, and our “id”’s only goal is to achieve those feelings without worry or care about the consequences of such actions. It is our “ego” that keeps the “id” in line, allowing us to think before we act, and to be able to foresee what may come of this pleasure seeking. It is a constant battle that wages on beneath our skin and sometimes the “id” overcomes. Some choose to live only by the “id”s bidding and never realize the destruction they leave behind when seeking their pleasures. I have been through that lifestyle once, and as much as I enjoyed such pleasures in bountiful amounts….the aftershock of those actions can still be felt today.
Leonardo Da Vinci was certainly a man ahead of his time.From The Last Supper,his wonderful statues and studies,his inventions and most famously The Mona Lisa are a testament of his genious.Its amazing that such a tiny painting(and heavily guarded) has left such an imprint on Society and the art world.While reading earlier the history on Da Vinci,i couldn’t help wondering if it will be remembered further into the Future…...You may notice the backdrop is similar ,with some unique additions.A flying ship(a design forerunner to the helicopter) is based on one of his designs which i tweaked for this,just for fun! / I had a lot of fun drawing this,the face keeping Mona’s serene look and most importantly the hands which i wanted to emulate and with a slight twist.She has a slight casual appearance too,note the leg up.I hope u enjoy my future take of Mona Lisa…1000 years in the making! / This is a combination of pen,pencil and Marker
William A. Pannapacker, Ph.D – Associate Professor of English at Hope College wrote:- / If there is one conclusion to be drawn from the life of Leonardo, it is that procrastination reveals the things at which we are most gifted – the things we truly want to do. Procrastination is a calling away from something that we do against our desires toward something that we do for pleasure, in that joyful state of self-forgetful inspiration that we call genius. This humble painting I dedicate to Leonardo, someone I admire greatly. Utube Information on Leonardo Da Vinci Painting using oil, wax, graphite and pigments.
This piece is based on how much we base our decisions off of love. Not condemning it, but rather it intrigues me what those will do in the name of love. Many people have died for love, have fought for love, and have sacrificed for love. It’s a powerful feeling that enslaves us, causing us to react in ways we may not deem normal in a clear state of mind, but like they say, Love is intoxicating. 2nd traditional piece I’ve ever attempted with acrylics. It was (key word, was, because it was sold lol)a 18×24 inch stretched canvas with acrylics and india ink. I miss this piece dearly, but at least I have a wonderful jpeg of it’s remains.
This is a new style for me. / / Critiques and comments welcome / / / /
Ahora que está tan de moda todo lo relacionado con lo esotérico, sociedades secretas, conspiraciones judeomasónicas… Esta camiseta con un dibujo en referencia a los Illuminati creo que queda resultona, decadente y bizarra. Lo que sea que signifique eso.
After having so much fun with the last piece, I decided to try a series of em. I have an idea, but won’t let it out until I’m sure it will work =D This piece is focused on the ability to open up. Being vulnerable to the outside without fear or worry. My creative juices have been flowing since that week of downtime and in a way my mind has opened a little more for me to see inside and to let you see a little deeper. Only in this state of vulnerability can I truly be free, and without limitation on what I do or how I go about doing it.

I had the opportunity to visit The Tech Museum / in San Jose, California with my daughters class today. / The main exhibit currently is about Leonardo da Vinci and his fabulous inventions. (And inventions that never became reality) / What an adventure it was. An amazing man, I wish I could have met. / This picture is from a wall sculpture that was large and impressive. / The lighting was gorgeous. / You must make a visit if you happen in California /

A study of lght and anatomy with a skull based on Da Vincis irst sketchesof the body.
From Leonardo DaVinci’s ” Virgin On the Rocks ” ( 1483 )
a little modified to fit a more vinatage look.
I made a copy of a sketch of Leonardo Da Vinci’s then went over it with an embossing marker and then covered the drawing with walnut-colored ink using the ink pad for maximum effect. I then stamped the word “Dream” in tribute to Da Vinci’s incredible Imagination.
A little known fact is that this guy also invented the monocycle in 1467.
