Eric Tabuena

I just discovered that my Art Director at the last agency I worked for has a blog, in which he posts samples of his art and shots of his studio.
His artworks are full of colors and life. I just love the way he does his paintings, he start with lines to make up spaces intersecting each other and then fill them, but Eric’s artworks are no coloring books project. He use color very carefully to convey the feeling of space and you will always feel the depth when you look at his artworks.
Ladies and gents, I present to you the man who if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have taken the small first step into making t-shirts, Eric Tabuena

Can you feel the 3D-ness? :p

I sense a little cubism going on…nice work; I had an urge to cross my eyes so a 3-D image would pop up

Erzulie, yeah … had that feeling too (cubism) about his paintings.

Sorry, this is not 3D (2D to a certain extent) and has nothing to do with cubism, on the other hand you can say!!! It is symmetrical, the colors complement-sympathetic to each other!!! It needs more depth.
Sorry Eric you are playing safe!

Hey Eric, what’s up? I used to work with Eric back in my Kuwait days - and that was some years ago. I’m now working in California.
Eric, drop me a line sometime - if you find the time. I hear you’re a bigshot CD now
