No disrespect intended. Sometimes our crew is called in last minute to work with other crews. This job was with a new crew of people so we have to check back for last names. This piece was sculpted and ready for sanding and bondo work, assembly and paint.

Logo design for client: Melanie Mills

Recently I have been having fun taking old images from my external hard drive and applying a new perspective to them. Usually I just move onto a new piece, but occasionally I revisit old images I'm found of or never considered finished to see where my current styles evolves the piece. Here I'm using Alchemy with Adobe Photoshop to create textures and story with color and graphics.

If you want to learn I offer private time both instudio and online. Check it! mordidadeculebra.tumblr.com/tagged/Courses

I hope you enjoy!

Snakebite Cortez presents: Photoshop Commando Courses A one-on-one educational experience! North Hollywood, California

(Now offering my courses ONLINE!!) Adobe Photoshop is a powerful program, and the industry standard for a huge range of mediums: comic books, animation, video games, photography, video compositing, fashion, design, website development…the list goes on and on. Being able to seamlessly incorporate Photoshop into your skill set will ensure your sustainability as a creator! For the first time in my 21-year career as a professional transmedia artist specializing in Adobe Photoshop, I will be offering one-on-one training in my new studio in NOHO (North Hollywood) California. Every student will have a chance to learn exactly what they need for their specific vision of their career path. Whether you are just starting out or are already successful in your field, I will work with you to tailor each class to your individual needs -- collaborative education! All you have to do is submit a short summary of who you are and what you are looking to learn and I will design our time around your intent. I have taught at animation schools, lectured on college campuses and conducted private on-site sessions for individuals and groups -- all with great results. A few hours with me will unlock many mysteries of the program. Courses can incorporate any aspect of Photoshop you desire, including tips, tricks and best practices in scanning, importing files, exporting files, making selections, layer masks, layer modes, custom brushes, painting techniques, photo manipulation, color correction, color for comic books, color/painting for animation characters and backgrounds, design for print and web, path tool, utilizing the text tool, customizing fonts -- anything YOU can think of! The only prerequisites are that you are comfortable with a computer (I will be teaching you using the MacOS platform) and that you have some basic familiarity with Adobe Photoshop. There are plenty of tutorials online to get you started. Your time with me will be more efficient and beneficial if you arrive with a general understanding of what the program can do, how the interface is set up and what you want out of it. The best answers come from the best questions! For beginner and advanced knowledge (no registration fees required): Two 3 hour courses. 6 hours total: $300 Four 3 hour courses. 12 hours total: $550 Six 3 hour courses. 18 hours total: $750 Eight 3 hour courses. 24 hours total: $950

Let's build together!

Sacred 13 Logo shirt and the Mordida de Culebra mandala shirt!

I wear these TShirts literally ALL THE TIME! I love them. The alternative apparel V-Neck tshirt brand is some of the best quality. The cotton is light and soft and holds the color well. The printing is a die based ink. It will never flake off the shirt because it has bleached the color out of the black giving it a vintage feel. I only have a few left of each size.

Originally sold for $50 I will sell them to you for $25!! Get them while you can. I plan on making new ones before the end of the year!

You can email me at [email protected] for paypal instructions.

Thank you for your time and space!

Here is my the last of my personal stock from 2012. I will most likely print some of these again, but this is my first run from last year. And since I want to clean house to make room for new I am selling the last of these prints for HALF THE PRICE!

They originally went for $60.00 per print.But for this promotion I will be selling them for $30.00!!! What a bargain! ;)

These are high endGiclée reproductions. Personally printed by yours truly. So it has the attention of the original artist! They are printed on archival watercolor paper and supplied in a durable mylar sleeve that protects it from damage during transportation. I will sign these as well for added value!

I don't have my online store open just yet so these will be addressed per order. You can contact me via [email protected] and I will give you the paypal information needed for the transactions.

Thanks for your time and space!
