“Mothers/Madres” 2026

I know it’s been quite a while since I last posted, and my styles vary, but I wanted to go back to the drawing board on this one. It was a gift to my mother. We recently took in my grandmother as she is now on hospice. I can say since she has been with us, she has grown stronger and the wounds that she’s had have been healing very well. She talks, and has conversations. Her dementia hasn’t dragged her down as much as it could have, and she’s showing signs that she’s willing to fight just a bit longer. She is exactly where she wants to be, finally. This painting that I’ve created warms the home just in time for the holidays.

All Eyes On Me. 2025/2026

All Eyes On Me. Ive centralized this character on and off over the years. I created her from a business card I found by a pool. My friends and I thought up what this person would look like and I got to drawing. Over time this character evolved, and I felt as if this character were someone I had known before. She materialized as i fleshed her out in paint, markers, digital works of art. All of my eyes literally were, and have been, on her. I haven’t created much of any other character, she demanded most of my attention, becoming something of a signature. Whether the main subject, or lost somewhere in the maze like backgrounds I’m evolving my style around, she’s become my partner, a fictional wife of sorts… as if I knew her from another time, and this is her way of incarnating. I keep her alive, as she’s kept alive the passion to have a constant point of inspiration. I picture her here as if she is walking through a gateway into this bold, stylized contemporary universe that melds together where you’d imagine there not being an ending or beginning, yet still a capsule Ted in this boxed frame. Next level, where all seem to exist at once. This here would be an interpretation of a garden ( again). Wild, colorful, aware and alive.
