TOYS
8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Cardboard
I ran out of lined paper in my pad and was left with the cardboard backer. These are some of the doodles I came up with for the backer while on a few breaks at work. I think my friend Todd is in the background. A toilet shoots out designs. There are some old school toys like the paddle ball, a mask and top. Kids these days, they don’t know what they’re missing out on.
mijumiguese ROOSTER
8.5″ x 11″ Marker on Water Color Paper
I am mijumi. I am half Portuguese. mijumiguese Rooster is all of me and half of Portuguese. I know my relatives loved the Portuguese Rooster painting I gave away at our family Christmas party and wanted to show them another version. What do ya guys think? I’ve got a few more ideas on tap in the rooster realm.
NEVER KNOWN BUT MISSED
8.5″ x 11″ Mixed Media on Water Color Paper
I had just finished watching Jean-Michel Basquiat The Radiant Child by Tamara Davis and I had to make something as soon as it was over. I made a pair of tribute sneakers in Baquiat’s honor in my first week and now had to try my hand at his style. Most people hate it. They look at it and scream that it is not art. But what is art? Personally I love his work and am a huge fan of his. Maybe my next attempt will be in his style, but on a much larger scale like the way he worked. I even let my 2 year old niece (Grace) throw down some lines on this one.
LOOK FOR YOURS

Life is a gift. These words are hidden in the face of this drawing. The words “If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth” are also hidden in this drawing. Can you see them? Here they are. I am very thankful for everything I have been blessed with in my life. Being able to enjoy my family and friends. Having the skills to create art. Taking the time to travel and see other parts of the world. Everything in life has its purpose and finds its reason. I have no regrets. Thank you all for the continued support. <3 mijumi

This is something new I’m trying. Every once in a while I’m going to check out my fans pages and see if there is anything I can grab ideas from. This is my first attempt at it from a profile picture. Thank you Ms. Garcia for the inspiration. If you’re reading I hope you enjoy this.
VOODOO BOB
9″ x 12″ Marker & Pen
Don’t worry… about a thing… cuz every little thing… gonna be alright. Even as a voodoo style drawing Mr. Marley still looks pretty cool. Listening to his music gets me thinking about what I want my “legacy” to be. What will I leave behind for people to remember me by when I’m gone? Maybe that is what this project is about. It’s allowing me to tap into my creativity and leave some sort of lasting impression and/or inspiration to people. Only Time Will Tell…
WIZOCEROUS
8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Notebook Paper
This could be fun. I don’t know what to say about this one so I’m going to need your help. I will replace the text here with your words for it. Submit them on the ideas page to be included. Make sure you write Wizocerous somewhere in your submission. Good luck…
LOOKING DOWN
8.5″ x 11″ Ink on Lined Paper
Drawing in morning meetings at work is a good place to get new ideas. I know I was supposed to be taking notes, but all I could come up with was this. I like to draw on lined paper. It lets me use the lines as guides while laying down my own lines. Next meeting I’ll try and take better notes… I mean make a better drawing.
ROCKA

Who is that? Is that you? Is it me? Anyone that draws faces a lot will encounter these questions at some point. Right Kev? I love to draw faces. Not real faces, just faces that pop into my head. Maybe they are a part of my subconscious or something, but they always keep coming up and they speak to me. Rocka is one of them and is set over a photo that I took of a concrete wall. I’m sure there will be more of these to come.
