El Día de los Muertos

.
He wanted to paint and create works of art for the typical guy, the average Joe. But after looking at his incredible creations, one soon discovers his talent and art is anything but typical or average!
.
.
I'm talking about the work of David Lozeau. This piece is called 'Banditos Prayer'. Kick a$$!
.

.
Lozeau began his career working commercially for Web companies, in print media and in video production. Ya.. but it wouldn't be long before he got fed up "workin' for the man" and decided to set out on his own.
.
.
The SIC pieces he did in oils, acrylics, and watercolors would prove to be the ground work for his true calling. Lozeau decided to channel all his talent and dedicate his time and life to what he loves: Day of the Dead art, hot rods, Tiki statues, tattoos and zombies. Good choice hombre!
.

.
His work has been featured in magazines like Pinstriping,

.
Lowrider magazine,
.

.
and he's also been commissioned to do work for this guy, Jesse James. Jesse is the muscle (if you didn't already know) behind Garage magazine.
.
.
The mag also did a feature spread on Lozeau, you can check it here. Dave's shop put this video together of the T-shirt he designed for Garage. It's in time-lapse and is way cool.
.
Check it.



.
.
This piece is dope! It's called 'Azza the Banished Angel'. While he works in traditional formats, Lozeau will leave his mark wherever he sees fit. You name it, and he's probably painted on it. From surfboards, to violins, and even vintage car parts.
.

.
How bout' this old Merc hub cap. Gnarly!

.

.
Yup, that's a whiskey flask.
.
.
And this is a jug of turpentine. It's funny, most artists use this chemical to clean up their brushes and other tools. David uses it to "clean up" at the cash register, as in... his art brings home the bucks, no matter where you find it!
.
Gran Artista, Si Hombre.
