Hello and welcome to my website preview/ introduction for PaulDCandelaria.Com. In a page just beyond this one, you'll see art samples that I hope will amuse you and entice you to make use of my services and skills. Read on and acquaint yourself with my artwork stylings and perhaps we can work together, we could do so much. I also hope you'll drop by on occasion as this site will be a work in progress and many more pages will be added for variety of reasons.

I'm one of those people who wonders what are we, the art-loving public, NOT seeing when we look at a piece of art hanging on the wall? I like to know what else has the artist done. Well, this doodle is what I trimmed off the sectional drawing seen above. It's a self-parody of myself made while testing a certain brush. Yea, I had hair just like that many years ago.

There's not much to tell about me, I was born and between now and then I learned to draw. I drew crude imitations of the cartoons I used to see in the later 1960's, mostly the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. These are the ones that shaped my first art styles and remain an influence that I use from time to time today. Eventually, I discovered comics and developed the understandably hateful habit of drawing in them. I know; Lousy kids messing up classic books! In time, I learned NOT to draw in the books and instead copied the artwork on paper outside and away from the book. I learned tons of details from the countless artists in the books and tried to use them as best I could in my own artwork. I remember picking up bits of anatomy from varied artists; rib cages from Curt Swan,

calves from Dick Dillin, lighting details from Jim Lee, pure insanity from Milt Gross, poses from Gil Kane, awesome direction by Will Eisner and so much more from so many other hands whose craft won't be forgotten by the next generations. I feel I've learned their lessons in art and I hope it shows.

Not to take away from anyone's efforts but I have done some artwork though not nearly enough to suit or support me. I have hand-painted and designed T-shirts, I made a logo for an editorial column called Voice Of America, I drew and did gags for a CD cartoon strip called Captain Chubby, I have done some political cartoons that have appeared on DrumMajorInstitute.Org, another editorial cartoon that appeared in an art gallery.

Well, it's some nutshell but that's basically me. I have an amusing if not always understood, sense of humor and a good sense of professionalism so you can feel secure if you decide to hire me for a variety of projects. While I'm confident enough to say I can do MANY things, copying the Mona Lisa is not within my capabilities but I think you'll like what I can do. That said, I leave you to mosey through the rest of my website and let me know what you think, all comments will be read but the really good ones will be prized.
