   27 Mar 2018
   One of the things I enjoyed most about Havana were all of the old cars. Primarily they were taxis that would attract plenty of tourists. They came in all colors of the rainbow. I took the reference photo for this painting on Avenue del Puerto which was close to wear…

2. Classic

   26 Mar 2018
   One of the things I was looking forward to most about Cuba were the classic cars. I was not disappointed whatsoever. It felt like I was on a movie set with so many cars from the 50s and 60s whizzing by me. For the most part they were unofficial taxi…

   One of my main goals during my visit to Cuba was to interact with locals. Due to restrictions on travel it was one of my pre-requisites. I went to Havana for photography and journalistic purposes. I wanted to make sure I documented everything I was doing just in case I…

   About halfway in my Cuba trip I ran into a schoolteacher named Rafael. He told me about the Afro Cuban Religion in Havana. This place was in Centro Habana and was called Callejon de Hamel. We took a crowded bus outside of Old Havana and ended up there in about…

   Instead of trying to recount why I created this painting I’m just going share a part of one of my journals from Cuba. This is from my second day in Old Havana.  I moved on to walk through Merced. (The street where I’m staying.) I definitely felt comfortable now. I…

7. Hot Pink

   11 Mar 2018
   When I went to Cuba I decided to leave my iPad behind. I was fearful that it would be taken by officials when I was just trying to create a painting. The trip was primarily about photography and journalism. Art was created while I was in Havana but it was…

9. Suit Series Illustration

   23 Jan 2018
   I rarely do self portraits. Usually I would rather illustrate another subject and it’s a little eerie to see myself emerge from my digital canvas. Still, I knew I was overdue for a new portrait. I have illustrated myself in a realistic digital oil painting style so it seemed natural…

10. Tapas and Chips

    14 Jan 2018
    During a hot summer day I ventured to Barcelonaleta Beach via the metro. Many other tourists had the same idea so it was like a gigantic pilgrimage to see waves and sand. I could see the W Hotel in the distance so I just walked in that general direction. The…
