“Serialized Psychosis – Sonrisa”
oil, graphite & colored pencil on 16″x20″ gesso board
I teased people a little bit by posting the work in progress on my Facebook page and Twitter over the past couple of weeks. Now here is the finished artwork. This is the second piece in my Serialized Psychosis series. I’m not sure how many there will be, but I have at least two more planned.

“Twisting Promises”
oil paint & colored pencil on 24″x36″ linen canvas
It’s been way too long since I finished a painting. This one had several starts and stops since the end of September. This piece was almost lost in the abyss as much as the woman in the painting. I already have a few ideas lined up. So it probably won’t be so long until you see the next one.
Purchase the original painting
Buy a print of “Twisting Promises”
“Bare Pistol”
digital photo manipulation (Adobe Photoshop & Corel Painter)
model: Mandie Pistol
Part photograph, part drawing and digital painting. I’m happy with the results, but the effect is so subtle, you’d think I didn’t spend an entire afternoon working on it. Maybe the trick to having people think you’re talented is letting them think you barely had to work at all. *shrugs*
“Meta Incognition”
graphite on 9″x12″ paper
I haven’t been producing and presenting much work recently. Other things have been occupying my time. That doesn’t mean I’ve neglected my sketchbook. So here’s a drawing from it.
This is the first drawing I signed as David de Lara. It’s pretty rough compared to where my skills are now, but not a lot has changed with my subject matter has it? I wish I knew what this is called though. I didn’t have it archived digitally and I didn’t write the title on the back like I do now.
The drawing is dated October 9, 2001. That means my tenth anniversary just passed. Other than doing a giveaway of ten prints in ten days on my Facebook page, I let it come and go without much fanfare. Throwing a big celebration would have been too much trouble and I felt it would be better to reward some of the fans of my work.
Although this was the first artwork I signed as David de Lara, it doesn’t mean that’s when I began creating art. Ten years ago I was already serious about wanting to be an artist and was in college pursuing my art degree when I started using the name. I’ll admit David de Lara is not my legal name. It’s a surname I adopted from my ancestors. Using it helped establish an identity that is me the artist. It’s almost as if it’s an entity that helps create a barrier between my personal life and my work. David de Lara tends to get away with more though because everything is done in the name of creativity. Sometimes it does get me in trouble (remember my near lawsuit?), but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So, here’s to ten years of being David de Lara. Let’s see what happens in the next ten.
I'd be more popular on the internet if I were hot naked chick.
