The Cru Experience

The Campus Crusade Missions College students groups CRU meets every year on Clearwater Beachto spread the gospel, they worship at my Church at Grace Christian Fellowship, and they hung out a lot at Pier 60,  just like I do when I draw Caricatures. When I was asked by one of the x leaders to capture the memories of their time I was indeed humbled.

Mr G man RIP

Here is a painting I did in Acrylics on
board of a Mr G Man a homeless man that use to hang out at Pier 60 on Clearwater Beach Florida, may you rest in peace in heaven #rip 

Advancement opportunities and latest Children's Book Illustration

I had opportunities offered to me at my full time job as a Sous Chef, which I am now a lead cook for the past 8 years at Freedom Square under Brookdale Senior Living. I also run a freelance Illustration and entertainment company with LarsER Arts and Entertainment for the past 21 years. Don't get me wrong I am honored to be asked for advancement, but if I take on more responsibilities I will not be willing to commit to my own art business. I am thankful to my wonderful wife for making me understand this truth, and always encouraging me to be thankful for what I have :) Here is my latest Children's book Illustration for #Arniethechristmaspig and there will be pre ordering available soon!

• Long Description

  In 1977 earth sent into outer space a spacecraft that played a record containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. In the late 90's intergalactic robots from a far away world sent a radio transmission to earth in response. At first, this transmission fell upon the ears of a few DJ's in south London- who turned it into a genre of electronic dance music most commonly known as " Dub Step" In 2012 Artists: Zulu Painter decoded the message just months before earth's imminent destruction. The message was clear; that earth must take one day in September to hold an epic art show and dance party to honor the superior robot race. In September of 2012 Zulu painter teamed up with Aurailieus Artist to hold such event and the earth was spared

Mural in an Elevator

I have been working on painting a mural for a clients mansion on Pass A Grill in Florida. I had to recreate a under water scene with 14 family members as sea creatures. The photos below are just used as a reference material and might be copyrighted by other artist. I am having a good time, but there are challenges with a lot of bumps on the walls. Here is a video I shot of the final piece, but she said I will adding others as her family grows :) 

I wanted to post my video on the mural but the phone app would not let me do it, so here is a link: http://youtu.be/W3b0vy2zwA8

The following photos are not the greatest, but you get the idea!

Retirement gift caricature

This was such an awesome experience to asked  to paint a Illustration, by someone I painted before  for his retirement from the police force in Tampa. This time around the commission iwas for a Donna head of security retiring from Busch gardens. I am proud of it, and I do see details I would like to have done a little more, but I kept within budget!

There is nothing better seeing your printed digital work come out!
