Who is the Ceeej? —
3 visions in one painting and three kinds of media
My name is CJ Martinez also known as the Ceeej. I am a San Diego based multi media artist most well known for my glow in the dark pieces. I am a self taught artist who gives three different views of one painting (normal, blacklit, and glow in the dark) I also body paint and work on sfx makeup for indie films. I have live painted numerous times all around San Diego. Most of my painting themes consist of fantasy, horror, fan art, and nature. I soley have adopted the fact that I work in 3 different media's and present my paintings In three different ways. (Thus the 3 e's in "the Ceeej")
As for how I started, I have been an artist since I was a child. I had many sketches and didn't really start painting until I moved out on my own in 2010. Back then I would be developing my painting portfolio and struggled to find artshows. My earlier pieces were far more traditional but somehow I managed to have a blacklight and experimented with neons and glow in the dark. With years of defining my use of the UV paints I started using the illumination as the light sources of the painting to bring out the values more efficiently. Also got in touch with better venues for reaccuring artshows where I started live painting. Then that lead to teaching paint and drink classes for about 2 years on the side. Throughout the shows eventually got picked up for sfx makeup for indie films based on my zombie makeup during an artshow. Then I started body painting soon after and branched out from then on. Made new contacts and evolved year after year.
Now I have a plethora of varied artworks which are all for sale.
Evolving my techniques with sfx makeup.
Gradually adding more content to my YouTube page.
And of course creating.
