About — Philip Vargas Art

I realized at a very early age in life what I was meant to do. I was meant to create. With hands that are skilled and eyes that can see the world just a little differently, I make my imaginations a reality.

Over the past few years I have learned many disciplines and created the foundation for a fantastic future in the art world. At California State University of Long Beach I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration and a certificate in Biomedical Illustration. This foundation provided me with the ability to express myself in the 2D, which later helped me succeed in 3D with Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design/Fabrication.

As I reach the end of this leg of the journey, I find myself better for it. Who knows where the winds will blow me from here but wherever I settle, as long as I am creating I will be happy.

My artwork and jewelry are available for purchase through my etsy shop. Any enquiries about custom orders or purchases contact me at philustrator@gmail.com.

Dracula's Kiss Iris

Really happy with the way this first painting of this bad ass iris turned out. Let me know which background you like best: yellow or peach?

Prints available upon request, just shoot me a DM.

Trying something a little different here. Still not where I would like it to be but its all about progress, not perfection. I really dig the way the front face of the skull turned out though.

A little sketch of something I plan to paint soon. When you have your head so far above the clouds that you find yourself on the moon.

Would you rather seeing this beautiful flower on a white background, as is, or with a splash of color behind it?

Violet color studies for custom commission.

I have always enjoyed working with purples and here I really like the way the purple watercolor washes have flowed together.
