Florida Botanical Map Coloring Timelapse on Procreate

I am about to add the finishing touches on my second map of the United States Botanical Map project which is Florida! This is piece is super lush and layered…wait until you get to see the augmented reality version! I’m super proud of this one.

This means that only 48 more maps to go to finish the first set! HA! I will be creating a full map of our country once I finish the states. Yay! 🇺🇸

I only got video of this part of the process because I have been working on this piece only during bits of moments I have been able to carve out during the last couple of months. I added a really nice and mellow jazz playlist to the video, so if you get tired of watching you can just listen along! I really hope you enjoy watching it.

Augmented Reality Illustrations and Instagram Filters

I have created a video about the art process for my first Augmented Reality illustration which was exhibited for the first time last month right at the start of this Coronavirus craziness. I talk about the concept behind this piece - a visual response to a poem written by a man while in confinement, as part of the Free On The Inside Program at the Everglades Correctional Institution here in Florida. You will also get some insight into my process as an illustrator and the steps I had to take to bring this project to its fruition. It's not very specific about the augmented reality portion, but more of a global artistic process. I think some of you might enjoy this. :)

STUDIO VLOG 006: INSTALLING MY FIRST SOLO ART EXHIBIT IN POMPANO BEACH

This week was a whirlwind of crazy long hours but it was so worth it. We had the opening of my first solo exhibit, Botanica Animalia, on Friday night. It’s going to be on display until July 5, 2019 and it’s located at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center in South Florida. I was so caught up in the whole thing that I totally forgot to film stuff. Sorry! But you get to see a little behind-the-scenes of the installation and how it all came together. I hope you enjoy it!
