I drew this picture of my favorite Downtown of Chicago with the sharpie marker on 2007.
George Washington on horseback
This is the portrait of Toughy, my great grandmother's cat. I drew him about 2007 when i was at my great grandmother's last slay at the condo. He was really white with black spots and on his torso and face and stripes on his tail. That's all i know of him and I drew him.
Those two pages are what I drew to make my make up WWI propaganda poster as my homework for Social Studies to World War I project when we were all tasked to use our imagination to make our own instead of copying the historic ones.
This is my drawing associated with shaded realism I learned back in my art class in Andrew High during my junior year.
This is my painting I made from my art therapy during my time at Transition program. It’s more likely my image to one fantasy land that possess rainbow colors as the shy and the lake in the pink-colored Forest. I painted in one day on 2012.
"I am my Mother's Heart"
This is one of my latest drawings I drew on August 7th, 2013. There's me on the interior of my mother, surrounded by aura, because I am her heart. When I suffered a depression at transition on May this year. My teachers and speech workers talked me out of it. My mother never wanted me to die so she once told me "You're my heart, Alec. I love you". I understood her. So I decided to draw a picture so that would be a symbol of love of humanity.....I hope.
I drew this absurd picture of the parrots and a pear of the tree in 2014. It was one time when we were on the way to the zoo, when my little sister challenged me to draw the pear tree, which I thought she said was parrot. It was embarrassing but amusing.☺️
Mother and Child
This is my project i did for Christmas Mass on Dec. 10, 2012. Mary is cradling her newborn baby boy whom she named Jesus.
God looks to his Son
I drew up this project for my Christmas Mass 2014. This picture depicts that our almighty father gazes down on Mary and her newborn baby from the instant time of his birth. It's like he proclaims "you are my chosen ones."
Ruddy Ducks
This is my own picture of the Ruddy Ducks I worked on and used for the Duck Stamp Act in 2011. I based the male Ruddy Duck's position on the other kind of duck and the female's on the duck attempting to fly. But seriously, I drew the two ducks and then the background. I colored the whole picture with prismacolor pencils. It took me a few months, many days to finish, until at last just in time of the last day of the project. I thought it had made it up to the Duck Stamp Act, but apparently, there was no prize, but they all said my picture was the best. Sure, I did my best. I mean it, this my picture I'd ever done. My old teacher Mr. Moss really liked it. Honestly, to me, it didn't matter that I didn't get a prize, because I done my best drawn skills on this ruddy duck picture. This has to be part of my legacy. It would have happen to make a stamp. But, it doesn't matter. This is my best picture.
The War Between "Warmness" and "Coldness"
Here is the picture of those warriors, well two, fighting to claim the land. I just had been reading that Indian story of "The Warm Wind Brothers vs The Cold Wind Brothers" on my dad's laptop last month, currently. That's the story about two opposing tribes during the Ice Age era they said. So, I'm just became interested in that. That shall be a part of my "micro-comics" stories. Well, now, from the left that Warm Wind Warrior is followed by the wind blowing the fallen leaves and floating dandelions. And from the right the Cold Wind Warrior is followed by the breezing wind and falling snowflakes. This must be the Armageddon between warmness and coldness. In this story, Warmness is the meaning of kindness and peace, while Coldness is the meaning of cruelty, chaos and evil. That's why I had to draw that. It's very interesting to me. I must tell you, that doing the snowfall was a lot of work.
Duel Between Two Five Warriors
I drew this picture based with the "Bird's eye-view" of those fighting warriors. As you see, the Cold Wind brothers are dressed in the Inuit outfits. It is based on the part of this story. The Warm Wind Brother fights the Cold Wind brother. Five against five, one against one. They fight on the seemingly desert-like ground with small craters. They're spoiling the fight, it looks like. Who do you think will win. I'll tell you who...
The Victory of the Coldness
The Cold Wind brothers had won the battle. They slaughtered their rivals exceeded by their blizzards. One warrior in the center kneels his one knee and put his left foot on his victim, whose right hand is sliced. You see those white spots are the snowflakes. i did the best I could, I mean, they would be based on our real-lives we see them with our eyes without knowing the pictures of each snowflake. The snowfall just took me one night to finish it. "Coldness had triumphed over warmness." That doesn't look good, does it? That's the part of this story.
She gave them faith and hope.
Before the fallen deaths of the Warm Wind brothers, the young woman, who is the wife of one of the brothers, decided to go to hide herself. She was pregnant. Before she left, she told her husband's people in the Warm Wind Tribe that she will have a boy. Her son. The strongest among the warriors. She said to them "one day he will avenge the deaths of his father and uncles." This picture shows the expectant mother holding her belly, looking back to her husband's people, bidding goodbye to them, while they said good luck to her and they look like they would cry to see her go, but they must be faithful to themselves. They must hope the boy will save them, and lead them to victory for freedom against the wicked Cold Wind Tribe. That story is interesting to me, again.
Taking Care of Expectancy
I drew this picture from July 3rd until 6th, 2013. This describes that the expectant mother is taking good care from her people since her departure from the Warm Wind Tribe of the North, that had been conquered by the Cold Wind people. She shall be given birth anytime.
Going To Labor
She is about to give a childbirth immediately.
June 9th until 22nd, 2013.
June 9th until 22nd, 2013.
The Dark Age on America
This is the picture of "chaos". The fictional dark age is where the Mondoos (meaning "Great Spirit;demon") running and destroying amok. These destructive gigantic figures unleashes their powers of earthquakes, hurricanes, windstorms, fireballs, and tornadoes all over America. "Long before the Native American indians then the English-American settlers and other immigrants in the past came here in the 'New World'. This picture can tell of their uncaring abilities and brutalities against their own land.
The Mondoos
The fictional tribe of gigantic entities known as the Mondoos (or Mondous) are the children of the Evil Twin, brother of the Good Twin. Those savage deities are so firm, so brutish, not too bright, and absolutely careless. At first, I had a hard time looking for the Native American name that means demon or evil. However I've found "Mondoo" that means "Great Spirit" and in Christianity that also means "demon". So I decided to use that good "bad" name "Mondoo". There is Matchitisiw in the middle, their harsh elder leader. Between him from the left are Nootau beside Chowilau, Yas, and Cheveyo; and from the right are Etelooaat, Minninnewah, Chochmo, Bidzil, Adahy, Chunta and Chua. Along with their elder brother, they ruled the American land until they replaced by the Great Entities (of course, the Great Spirits). Just like the Titans led by their brother Cronos ruled the ancient land of Greece until replaced by the Olympian Gods. I thought the Mondoos can do the same brutality like the Titans did.
Matchitisiw Devouring His Stepchild
This is the picture of Matchitisiw eating his stepchild. Behind is his forced wife, Doba, weeping over the loss of her children and on the ground are their fallen toys. Just like Cronos once swallowed his own children, Matchitisiw had to "lock" them inside his belly, so they won't do anything harmful on them, until they had grown up. This act of action is like if the outsider lion from the other pride ad won, then he kills his beaten rival's children, much to the sad mother lioness' grief.
Young Exile
This is the concept picture of the young Sakima. The little native god was sent by his mother for exile to escape his mad stepfather's wrath.This is based on Baby Zeus' exile. I drew it from April 6th until 8th, 2013. He is in the sad trance, by the campfire, under the care by the bobcat, the coyote and the raccoon, inside the cave. The campfire reflects the light in his hiding spot where he is, farther from the entrance throughout the darkness. The traditional Native American cave drawings, way behind Young Sakima, can tell his story. "He would soon become a full-grown man up for battle."
War Against the Mondoos
You should love this. The battle scene between the Giants and the Mondoos. See how the Mondoos look taller than those giants? This was inspired by the war of the Titans. The Giants who had been free by the Great Entities began fighting the uncaring deities with bows and arrows, tomahawks, and boulders while those Mondoos fought back, using their brute strength and superhuman forces.
Trapped In The Stomach
Here is the picture of those poor innocent children that Matchitisiw swallowed. That is inspired by the way that Cronos imprisoned his children in his stomach. There are about eleven children. They are not dead, because they're immortal. and of course they grew up to adolescence, still locked in their no-good stepfather's body, until their brother, Sakima rescued them. Look at those sad faces. Relax, it's only fiction I thought of.
The Leaders of the Great Entities
Here are those fictional war chiefs I drew. From left to right, Jaswinder the god of mountains and creation, Sakima chief of the Great Spirits and god-father of the sky and weather, Masauwu the god of the dead and the fictional ruler of the "Native Underworld" and Chaschunka the god of the waters and riverbanks. Those four brothers I said leads their siblings and fellow entities to battle against evil. Masauwu would be the feared "albino"-like deity with tatoos of skeletal bones on his arms and legs. I drew their "old-fashioned" outfits, similar to Chief Powhatan's from Disney's Pocahontas. I thought those costumes will be interesting, wouldn't you say?
Nina, The Indian Warrior Goddess
This my warrior goddess Nina. I used the face of one of our best actresses, Megan Fox, because she's a bit "Native American" if it's part of his nationality, so I drew it. It was harder to draw her in any way, but then I got the best of it. I drew her to be a tall muscular, but feminine figure. Nina will be the fictional goddess of war, based on the Marvel Comics character Sif, and also be one of the "heroes". "She's gotta get her vengeance on her mad stepfather for devouring her along with her siblings."
The Stonecoats
I drew those stonecoats(stone-coats)from August 22, 2020 to August 18, 2022. The stonecoats are stone-clad monsters from Iroquois mythology or Northeast American folklore. Either they were originally humans cursed for their evil deeds or primordial monsters, like the titans, created by the twin brother flint spirit, they’re the horrendous creatures on earth, they hunt us, our races and eat us. I was intrigued that there are element related monsters in the Native American cultures. Their bodies are made of stone or flint serving ad their armor protecting from weapons, making dangerous. Unless you were a god or demigod.
The Hunt on Mfuwe
Here is my picture I drew at June 11th, 2012. You may know about the Man-Eater of Mfuwe. This describes that the large tsavo lion was playing with the bag taken away from his sixth victim, while Wayne Hosek, on the right corner, the former Chicagoan citizen who was asked to hunt that presumed demonic monster in Africa in 1991 (that's before I was born in 1992).Yes, Hosek finally killed that enormous creature, before it was donated to the museum in 1998. It was interesting to hear that history at the museum. So, I decided to draw that. That was the best I had done.
The Spectacle Family
This is the picture of "me and my "family". Well, this is the fictional superhero team that would inspired by me and my family. Mr. Spectacle, in the center, has the face of my dad when he was young, would be the super shapeshifter.
Mrs. Spectacle, on the left, is based on my mom, will have the telepathy with the psionic powers, this because that my mom has an intuition to tell how I feel. On the right is Infared Witch. She has the face of my younger sister, Chloe. Her powers will be the arts of magic and reality wrapping, just like the Marvel character Scarlet Witch. And last but least is Asperger, on the back. He looks just like me, wouldn't you think? When Asperger gets angry, he would be a big red blushing humanoid with super-strength, combatant and uncombatant prowess and artistic reality wrapping. I heard and read and looked on the other fictional heroes such as Fantastic Four and The Incredibles. So, I decided that my superhero family will be a "sensation". So I drew some of those guys.

Kokopelli
This is Kokopelli, the Native American god of agriculture, childbirth, fertilization, music and trickery as well, in the Hopi mythology. I drew him from June 29th to July 1st, 2013. Kokopelli is depicted as humpbacked flute-playing figure with antennae on his head. I fashioned him with the Hopi snake dance skirt, and shoes,and the Hopi silver over lay necklace. I drew him that instant because I thought it be fun looking at that guy. It sure is weird.
Monsters of the Halloween Season
Halloween is the best holiday of my time. I like monsters, but I don't expect to meet them if they were real. A matter of fact, I enjoy drawing monsters, and that was so fun. So here they are. I drew them from September 17 to October 27, this 2013. From left to right, The Fly, The Werewolf, The Minotaur, the Gorgon, the Moving Hand, Count Dracula, Flesh Golem, which is Frankenstein's Monster, the Ghost, The Mummy, Gill-Man, The Abominable Snowman, The Scorpion King, The Bride of Frankenstein Monster, the flying Mental Vampire from The Fiend Without A Face, The Headless Horseman, The Sun Demon, The Gremlin and The Invisible Man. That Frankenstein is my most favorite monster. And that ghost could be Vincent Price like he comes for revenge on those who didn't save his life from death.
The Steam Tank/Diesel hybrid locomotive
i drew this train engine of my image with the mix of the steam tank engine and the diesel engine that pulls the train I once rode on board from home to Downtown from there to go back. i modeled this half of the LB&SCR E2 class tank engine which Thomas the Tank Engine is when i once watched his show like i used to and half of the Metra F40 #166 Diesel engine which pulled my train long ago as a kid.
The Smokestacktop Diesel
I made this up on my own and yet modeled it after the diesel engine. i always wanted to have all train engines still topped with those funnels.
The Futuresque train engine
This train engine is from my first storyboard, "Aluc Red's Train Job."
I drew this, the Betsy Ross flag in this 2023’s 4th of July literally.
