French Toast
05 Dec 2017The morning of my last day in London was bittersweet so I knew I had to get a delicious breakfast to balance things out. I stopped at a fancy restaurant called Bronte. I sat at the pristine looking bar and ordered French Toast. As soon as it came I knew… -
Chicken Burger (Mayflower Pub)
08 Nov 2017One of the most significant things about my trip to London was that my Mom had been there years ago when she was a teenager. I was far from home but as a result I felt closer to her because of this new, shared experience. Using WhatsApp I easily shared… -
Garlic Bread
08 Nov 2017The companions to my Chicken Club sandwich were two pieces of buttery Garlic Bread. I enjoyed painting this piece because I got to experiment in Procreate with textures. Like I stated before this series is all about merging my cartooning and oil painting backgrounds. Art created using Procreate on iPad… -
Chicken Club
08 Nov 2017Before making it to The London Eye I stopped in to grab some food at a nearby pub. There were a lot of different options in terms of food but “bar food” was typically my mainstay while I was there. I ordered a chicken club on a sourdough roll with… -
Pasta
30 Oct 2017After exploring Hampton Court Palace for the better part of the day I went to a nearby pub for a late lunch. I ordered a Pasta with eggplant, lime and beef to fill up after walking through all of those royal chambers. This painting was very deceptive because I believed… -

Barcelona: Arc de Triomf
13 Sep 2017After getting to know the Navas neighborhood in Barcelona I walked to Passeig Sant Joan to see The Arc de Triomf. I was fascinated by the arc because there is an Arc de Triomphe in Place Charles de Gaulle and there is also the Washington Square Arch. The Arc in… -
Barcelona: Via Laietana
08 Sep 2017The Gothic Quarter or Barri Gòtic was probably my favorite location in Barcelona. (La Barceloneta is a close second) It’s the center of Barcelona’s “old town” and stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana. I actively avoided La Rambla for a few days because of pickpocket activity (The terrorist attack…
