Jose Emroca Flores. The work produced by Jose is as inspiring as the person he is. Jose is one of the most talented artists i know. He paints with a skillfully steady hand giving attention to tiny details yet at the same time he can be loose and expressive in his brush strokes uncompromising quality in his work. His concepts are unusual and uncommon for traditional illustration especially as an alumnus of the highly old skool and traditional Academy of Art College. I respect Jose for leaving compromise behind and succeeding successfully in today's unfriendly commercial art industry. Jose now makes a living as a concept artist for EA (Electronic Arts) and is the epitome of an artists who has supposedly "made it". While he keeps to his style and true essence Jose Emroca Flores has a long career ahead of him. -Mad Respect.
