This Just in for those who missed it: Recently Dave Chappelle was in San Francisco for a few shows and happens to be a skatedeck collector and urban vinyl fan. While visiting Kid Robot SF he made the wise decision of purchasing my hand painted deck that was hangin there in the store. I coudn't beleive it, that made my day...shoot...that made my year!
Mr. Hernandez's art has been called “Urban Native or Urban Aztec” as he combines traditional indigenous styles and themes with an urban street sensibility. His work utilizes bold line work, sharp colors, and dynamic imagery.
He earned a BFA in Digital Media from the San Francisco Art Institute, and studied painting with noted Native American artist Robert Penn, a student of Oscar Howe who is often referred to as the father of Modern Native American painting.
Hernandez works full time for The Filipino Channel in Redwood City, California as Art Director/Animator for the cartoon series "The Nutshack", continues to show his work in galleries worldwide, and also creates freelance artwork through his company, Immortal Studios.
