Had fun with @zivafey.bsky.social

Experiment day! Much love to Ziva for putting up with me and my ideas. She's aces!! This is a super-quick preview... I'll share the good stuff as I edit images.

Here's my latest. Much love and thanks to @ashleigh_kimberly (on IG) for her help on this one. Luis Fernandez - Disillusionment 2025 Oil on canvas, 48" x 36" #OilPainting #FigurativeArt #ArizonaArtist #OilOnCanvas #Disillusion

A couple more from this weekend. #photography #photoshoot ##modeling

Alana helped me out with this one. I'll review our work and make some edits, then after I've identified shortcomings and fixes we'll meet again for another go. I'm guessing photography is much like other things... repetition is key.

Played around yesterday with taking some photos.

Now I'm gonna try photography for the sake of that art form

Spent some time last night editing some photos from the latest sitting. "Hey Luis, shouldn't you be illustrating and not editing?" Dang, let a brotha have some fun! But seriously, the illustration work continues...

WIP, part of a larger illustration project. A series, really. I'll share some completed work after I get a few finished. #comingsoon #illustration #spooky

Project B is the "fun" project. It is my low-pressure entertaining project I'll work on when I'm not working on Project A. I've done a bit of the structural work and have recently had a photoshoot to gather references. I hope to have something to show within two months. Here's some of the references
