ME AT THE RIVERIA

Judy drew this one of me from n old photo I had. All she had was a photo of my face and upper self and she drew everything else as well.

Old Italian Cathedral



A rendering I did as an experiment in Architecture of Cathedrals. This was rendered in Prismacolor pens on 100lb. Bristol and was a 14x16. Time took was about 8 hours. This piece also was given as a gift.

Ancient Asian Ship



A Black and White version of an ancient Asian Ship. Lots of solid color plus line work. She was simply rendered on a single sheet of paper, probably about 65 lb. paper, very thin; also given as a gift.

18th Century Dutch Ship



This Black & White piece is a combination of line art and stipple art or pointillism. She is a 16x20 ink on a single Canvas Sheet. She was given away to my Naval Architecture instructor.

"Midnight On The China Sea," is what I call this piece. It is a collection of parallel, oblique, and perpendicular lines of various colors to form what I like to call exactly what it is, "Line Art." She is 18x24 on Bristol, matted and framed. Very nice and by far my favorite piece.

HMS Endeavour


Endeavour was a cool project in and of that she took approximately 25 hours to complete. She has been worked using various pen strokes, colors, water colors, and freestle as well as stipple and line art...a combination of what I like doing. She is an 18x24 on Bristol and presently is matted and framed. She has been proudly displayed at several shows and galleries in my home state.

Welcome To Artgraphyx By Gregorio

For the last 9 years I have been exploring the depths of personal fiction writing, blogging, ezines, poetry, research, and mixed media artwork. Yes! I have shown work in local galleries state wide. I have made many friends along the way and have always tried to manifest these loving friendships into becoming a better person.

My next step since I have also achieved publication in a monthly periodical, is to embark on a lifetime journey of working museum quality workmanship as a model Shipwright. I have been constructing model ships since I was 14. It is probably my greatest passion.

I have studied Naval Architecture in a program whereas I had the privilege to learn Coefficients of Form, Methods of Calculation, Math, (Algebra and Trigonometry), Hydrostatics, Resistance, Stability and Marine, Mechanical, and simple good ol' Orthographic Projection to produce nice perspectives. I have also studies various graphic softwares in the past.

Here in the very near future I hope to begin researching draughts of the USS Constitution and construct a 48 inch version of her as noted in the War of 1812 and captained by Commander Isaac Hull. She won all 40 missions and is still in commission today. God Bless her!
