I also hold in great regard and would like to thank all the models who have posed for me over the past 13 years. You have all been a creative influence and an inspiration for me to continue with my illustrations...Without you, many of my illustrations would never have been made...
About me:
Where do I begin...My name IS Barcode...I'm a Puerto Rican from NYC...I accomplished what most people never do...I realized my childhood dream of becoming a Special Makeup FX Artist...I got paid to make monsters and kill people for movies and TV shows...I worked on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Quarantine...I am also a sculptor, an illustrator and a tattoo artist...
I do commission work too...So if you are interested in an illustration or a sculpture...don't hesitate to inquire...I am also looking for models willing to be the subject of future illustrations...If you've seen the artwork featured on my profile, then you'll understand what is required of my models...Again, if interested, don't hesitate to ask...
I am a six-year Navy veteran...I don't have time for drama and my main focus in life is to get myself to where I want to be...Fuck the naysayers...I don't need any more obstacles to impede my progress...
If you have any questions feel free to ask...
...Some would say I'm weird...others would say I'm an asshole...You be the judge....
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet anyone with common interests, people who are goal oriented and have aspirations to progress beyond their present status whether it be artistically, emotionally, financially, etc...
This is an original alien bust...It was supposed to be featured at an exhibition in Anahiem but was irreparably damaged on my trip to California...
This sculpture was my second stab at recreating an illustration by Brian Froud in clay
This is an original maquette made of super sculpey...Still needs some paint...
This is a one-piece prosthetic appliance that Dan Thomson wore for 4 hours breathing through a straw!!!! Thank you, Dan...
Happy Halloween...
You could receive well-deserved praise from your boss or co-workers today. Or, better yet, that long-overdue bonus or raise might finally come through. Being noticed for your contribution can be heartwarming, but you may have a hard time accepting what comes your way. This is no time for modesty, so be thankful and celebrate your accomplishments.
Although you might like the idea of accomplishing a lot today, you probably won't work hard enough to feel as if you're productive. You have a variety of excuses at your disposal now to justify your laziness, but the truth is you don't need to prove anything to anyone else. You deserve some downtime and you might as well take it when you can.
