Whaddup! Been a long minute since the last art post. The day gig has kept me pretty well occupied, so I haven’t had much time to contribute posts to the world wide web…
Anyway, I’m heading back to Chicago, and as such I’ve sketched up a little something. I didn’t really list many events, but if you’re in the area drop me a line and perhaps we’ll meet up.

Hey all! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been working a lot, unfortunately I’m unable to show you 95% of it.. This here’s a little piece I contributed to this year’s Eat Your Art Out group show a Meltdown comics. It took place a couple weeks ago and featured astounding art from over 60 different artists. Twas quite an event… It’s acrylic paint on illustration board, and it’s called “Rikky’s Bitch” click on the images below for the larger versions…

“Growing up on Chicago’s far South Side, illustrator/cartoonist/painter Jose Garibaldi learned early on to appreciate the fine art of comics. Whereas most parents would be quick to dismiss strips as lowbrow art, Garibaldi’s mother welcomed it, making publications like Cracked and Mad Magazine readily available for his young mind to absorb.

yo, slowly but surely getting back to life as it was. I’ve been laying low in my new Los Angeles home, trying to take advantage of this downtime.

I promise I’ll call soon. In a few I’ll post some sketchbook pages and a couple new pieces. Also, a sneak of something I’ve been rolling on for myself (and you, of course) more details will come soon.
Ah! My first ever “Blog” Post. Prior to this, I had a GeoCities site, then I built a Flash site on hosted servers. That goes back to 2001 (!)
