I graduated in 1999 from Los Angeles Trade Technical College with an AA degree in Visual Communications. As a recipient of the "Tools for Success" Award, I was
provided with the necessary graphic design software and equipment to pursue a career in digital arts. Shortly after, I started designing custom logos, business cards, brochures and t-shirts for
friends and family.
By August 2006, I created my first dog focused artwork in the form of a poster of my beloved dog, Chuy. From that point on, my artwork seemed to revolve around dogs or pet related subjects. Thus,
"ArtzyDog Studio" was born. ArtzyDog, the Chihuahua with the lime green glasses, represents my inner love for all creatures. Even though she is small and appears to be shy, she has a big heart and
knows how to show her passion of life...through art!
As a graphic designer, I don't rely on filters to recreate my artwork. Instead, the artwork is executed using a graphic illustration technique. I spend many hours using
your photograph as a reference for my creations, from re-drawing details to capturing the characteristics and personality of your beloved…
I like to think of it as "Creating memorable personalized pet artwork that last a lifetime..."
