i've been exploring mood and atmosphere in some of these last experiments and i'm really enjoying the sense of depth and spacial existence atmosphere creates. i (as you may have noticed) thoroughly enjoy graphic design, and in turn, am incorporating it into my pieces. to me, type/shape relations balance an image.

in other news, my alias, deepsi{x} is on the way out. i'll still post here, but a new site and blog will be up in the next couple months.

cheers,

{ S P I R E }

i found some inspiration in legend. i'm realizing more and more how influential that movie has been on me. hope you dig. happy new year.

s.

{ M E Z Z A N I N E }

it's that time of year again. i'll have a few pieces for sale, including the skate deck.
working on a new piece as we speak.

{ s }

{ P R O M O }

i got my board in, and it looks fantastic. zazzle claims these boards aren't solely decorative, but are built for wear and tear. good to know. also, they ship quickly from redwood city (about 30mi. south of sf).

{ s }

{ D E C K T H E H A L L S }

a new item for the new item seekers.

{ M U E R T O S }

  

this was begun a couple days before la dia de los muertos. since then, i've spent about an hour and a half per day finishing it. right now, i'm focusing on ways to preserve the original gestural/expressive qualities of the sketch in the drawing...without making it too sloppy. i really enjoy making it work, or polishing a rough sketch. still an adventure each time, but i like juxtaposing fancy-schmancy photoshop glow to drab pencil drawings.

hope you enjoy,

s.

{ A Z U L }

new piece marking the beginning of a tribal-based series.

{ A P E }

my friend (and illustrator/writer) santiago casares and i will be sharing a booth at this year's ape convention here in sf. he's an ad agency creative and has already been published in heavy metal mag. there, i'll have prints for sale. i'm also working on a sample piece for my soon to be comic rep.

be well,
{ s }

{ X T U R E }

having fun with some new brushes i downloaded. new pieces on the way.

in other news, i'll be in nyc for art out loud at s.o.i. and visiting mis amigos. get those livers prepped, boys.

{ s }

{ P R I N T S }

{ Z Z Z }

this squish face is a little doodle from a paused moment in return of the king of mr. samwise sleeping on the steps to mordor. i had no intention of taking this short sketch anywhere, but the skewed anatomy grew on me. i eventually decided i'd let go of the reins this time, to see how tall a cliff off my horses take the carriage. turned out to be pretty fun.

{ S }

{ P L A N S }

...are in the making.

{ F O U N D }

found this little gem yesterday while conquering the city. this is my first found gem.

“I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.”
- Albert Einstein

{ H A B E A S }

this is a digital glazing experiment i think i'll use for some postcards, etc. i've been trying to synthesize the kenichi hoshine cold wax effect...digitally, which is a blast.

happy sunday!

{abstraktion}

this marks my first abstract commission. this is for one of my buddies, gene, at second life...and he wanted it executed in my favorite format: 12x36. this piece has REALLY opened my eyes, as i've always pushed away abstract art. purely stubborn of me. there are pieces throughout my background that have caught my attention, but still pretty much hit or miss.

these prelims lead up to the final oil-painted piece to be completed over the next week...

hope everyone's well!

{s}

{goooooaaaaalllll}

i just scored a feature spot with the editors at illustrationmundo. thanks, y'all!
ps: if you're not familiar with the mundo, get yourself familiar. endless heaps of inspiration. million mile high heaps.

{the gem of gems}

anybody remember our year-end party on corwood drive? just found this file after doing some early spring cleaning of the old imac and it's contaminants;) this masterpiece was executed by the multi-faceted erik jones and sean gardner. good times, gentlemen.

{cry me a friggin river}

"boohoo. all day everyday when i wanna look at doods'n'shit, i turn 'em to stone. wtf!?"

{consider it launched}

D E E P S I { X } P A I N T . C O M is alive!!!

upcoming features/updates include an email rollover and print-purchase option under each piece through paypal.

 

{good reads}

i recently finished a nice satire entitled, "survivor" by mr. chuck palahniuk. pretty entertaining, and i highly recommend it.
currently, i'm enjoying naomi klein's "shock doctrine: the rise of disaster capitalism". wow. this book is heavy in it's torture reveling introduction, and that's just the set up for the whole "hurricane katrina, iraq war" types of disaster capitalism. thought i was biting off more than i could chew by reading one of those "political" books. it's nice, and not nearly as wordy as i thought it might've been.




also, later today i'll be in the haight at villains undergoing the first round of cut&paste

{NEW SITE COMING SOON!}

here's the layout. i've been filling the cracks of my free time with developing (hopefully moving forward in the right direction with) my identity -- a whole suite of visuals to be mailed/marketed/etc. i'll let everyone know when the site launches.

also, there's some new work in the oven as we speak: a couple commissions and some personal stuff.

i'll be out of the studio this weekend, but will be reachable.

couple more notes: HAPPY FRIGGIN NEW YEAR! and HAPPY INAUGURATION!

{s}

{mezzanine sf cont'd}

the show was a success, and will be part of my annual schedule. i sold the piece an hour after i got there. the producer, irene, told me there are three of these(shows) a year. word!

i had to deal with some family business and wasn't able to finish all i wanted and instead, cleaned the "ya heard" piece: added some more color, made a little more sense of the hair.

i'm working on deepsixpaint.com, and it's print-purchase feature through paypal. i'll let y'all know when it's ready.
in the meantime, "ya heard" can be purchased: $300 mounted/$200 unmounted as an 18"x18" satin paper print. i may have some 24"s in the near future. i know i'll be getting one for the house.

lemme know,
{s}

{mezzanine sf}

there's a little (huge) show this saturday. show some love. i'll be mingling.
come say hi.

{s}

{ya heard?}

a doodle, more or less to get the feel for which road i'll travel to this gigantic show december 6th here in sf. i think it's gonna be three pieces or so of nothing important, just fun. i've been struggling with that lately -- having fun and not relaxing. i'll be posting details shortly so anyone in the bay area can swing by. should be nutz. i know there are 80 fashion designers, 150 painters/photographers and 8 dj's. stay tuned.

oh, we might be going to see that new movie jcvd tonight. anybody see it already?

safe weekend, y'all!

{afternoon tea}

earl grey or long island: you chose;) i hope things are well with everyone, especially now that the countdown has begun until our victor is inaugurated. FTW! someone said this to me the other day, and it really felt good to hear: (he) had never voted in a presidential election and won. i couldn't help but identify with him, as my 26year old demographic has only been able to vote since the 2000 election. satisfaction at last.

politics aside, i've been cooking up some fun designs for the team at store101 again. after seeing the print process of my gorilla design midstage, i saw new directions i wanted to take my own apparel, with graphic shapes. their meaning=nothing. that's the best part. just something to gaze uponst;)

{1.kick 2.flip 3.repeat}

lots of fresh goods coming out of the bakery. this lil guy is the beginning of my skate collection. i'm gonna be pedaling these hand-painted bad boys to local shops here in sf. hopefully something bites.

gone fish'n,
{s}

{wear-house}

these hi-def;) pics were taken at the screenkillers warehouse during my trip to gainesville to see the launch of my "r!ot" design through store101. i maxed out with six colors in this tedious process. thanks to kyle and nick for getting this ball rolling and inviting me down to see the process. it really gave me an incredible understanding and respect for the biz. there are many more a design in the mixx.

++edit: i have a few on hand. i'm running out quickly. be sure to snag one up from kyle at store101info@gmail.com
