Tus Ojos...

Here is a poster I did for advanced type. This version is slightly different than the one that is up in CJ (I was told that my colors were too bland in the original).





Here is the original so you can compare.






Leave me a comment... tell me what you think. Which one do you like?

Student Exhibition Call for Entries

Ok so I know that I said I would have work up the first week of January. Well I lied. I've been busy... sorry.

Enjoy.

Thanks to Sarah W. for the hookup.
