Exclusive original art for sale:

Allie and a Triceratops. Concept started off as a joke. Friend said “why aren’t people painting dinosaurs besides that Dinotopia guy?” So I got Allie to do a quick pose and voila! Watercolor & Ink 12″x9″. Original. Unframed. Only $399

Roxy with a Baby T-Rex. Second in the dinosaurs series. A baby T-Rex should be cute, right? What if we put a busty Latina with a baby T-Rex? Watercolor & Ink 12″x9″. Original. Unframed. Only $399

Allie Riding a Triceratops. Every boy’s favorite dinosaur was the T Rex. I was the only kid who preferred the triceratops. Because he reminds me of me. Just hanging out, minding his own business. But if you fuck with him, you’ll get 3 horns in your gut. Plus, they make fantastic steads. Allie’s proof of that. Watercolor & Ink 12″x9″. Original. Unframed. Only $499

Keep in mind – every reputable winery in the United States of America by the 2040s will have a Roman Riva original. Just like we saw Picasso originals in several different wineries.

In life, you snooze, you lose.

Allie 11″x14″ graphite sketch. Original. Only $99

Katie as Selene, the Ancient Greek Goddess of the Moon. Katie has an amazing body! She was North Texas Bikini Champion a few years back. Currently she’s living in Bali full-time since she got signed by a major modeling agency. Watercolors & ink. Katie’s holding the painting so you can get an idea of the actual size (Katie is 5’4″). $1699. Sorry, painting does not come with Katie.

Diana as Selene. Watercolors & Ink. This is the twin painting of the one above. Same size, just with a different model. Diana’s a very successful Romanian model. She’s been in Vogue Italy. The print edition, not just the online. Only $1699.

Strange World. Model – Allie. I’m probably the only Iron Maiden fan whose favorite Iron Maiden album is the 1980 one. Named after one of the songs. I’ve been to Strange World after a really bad breakup (summer between sophomore and junior year of high school). Mixed media signed art original. 18″x12″. Only $299.

Surviving the Darkness. Exactly as it sounds. Thank you Allie for her perfect job of acting. Those were the two emotions I wanted and she nailed them both! Double mixed media painting. Model – Allie. SOLD

Katie as Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon. She is good luck to sailors and you want her on your side during sea battles. Watercolors & ink. Shown with Katie so you can see actual size. Katie is 5’4″. Only $1999. Framed.

Naiads of Old Venice. This is my favorite painting I’ve ever painted. I was going through some serious darkness and painted everything with only two colors, except for the girls. The girls were the color in my life during that time period. Watercolors & ink. Framed. Katie is holding the painting so you can see the actual size (she is 5’4″). Only $7000.

Allie and Roxy. Mixed media signed original art piece. Unframed. 18″x12″. Only $299

Allie 12″x18″ masterpiece, crimson lake on 140 lb earth tone stained watercolor paper. An ode to the Baroque Masters, Roman Riva pulls off an extraordinary feat. Right half of picture is Katie modeling with the work of art, showing its real size. Imagine this piece up in your home, rather than an Old World classy winery where it would fit right at home. Only $999 unframed.

Allie sketched on 18″x12″ 140 lb watercolor paper. Hue is a watercolor wash technique designed to make the piece look centuries old. Unframed. Only $99.

Roxy sketched on 18″x12″ 140 lb watercolor paper. Unframed. Only $99.

Allie as Selene. Goddesses are already vain, but Selene ranks up there amongst the most vain of all of them.
