Something For Adam

I loved working on this project so much. I had the honor of working on this symbolic piece for Adam. He's an incredible photographer and a super nice guy. If you'd like to check out his work--which I highly recommend--you can find it on his facebook page, here and on his website, here.
This was done in acrylics, paint pens, and pens on a wrapped canvas.
I will be working on making prints available for many pieces that have been sold, but are still wanted. I will post a link to the site that I will be using soon! If you would like your own custom piece of art from me, I would be more than happy to work on something for you so please e-mail me or message me. Commissions are some of my favorite things to do, especially when it's such a meaningful piece like this one!

M.C. Escher Inspired

This was just a little project we did in Painting last year. The idea was to draw something with no negative space. I, at first tried to tie everything together, but then I just kind of threw stuff together. It was super fun. I drew this all with different markers and then went over it with pencil.
It's on a 9" x 12" paper.

Comprised of Stardust

I just was drawing an eye and partial face when it turned into this. I like the thought that we're made of star stuff. It's just a poetic thing to me I guess. Maybe that's why this is what it is. A family friend now has this in her possession.
I used colored pencils, pen and marker to color this.

Washed Out

This was the first time I decided to just do a big painting. It's on a random scrap of drywall that I found in my closet and it's done in acrylics, watercolor and pens and marker. The base colors are mostly acrylics and mixed watercolors. I then laid down the brighter, more vivid colors and those are watercolor paints. Most of the red and purple colors on the flower petals are done in watercolors, and the blue and yellow on the eye.  I  then outlined things in different types of pen and highlighted things in marker, which really just blends in with the watercolor and acrylic paints.
This painting was a lot of fun to do and it definitely opened my eyes to all of the other things I'm capable of as a painter. The bottom few photos are of the finished product.

Photos Anyone?

Hey you guys! I thought I'd give you a little taste of what my photography is like. I like to think of myself as more of a Surreal/Abstract photographer, but I love taking pictures of all sorts of different things.

Before you go making judgments and things, know this, I've never had even a basic lesson about what makes a good photo. I have only used what I know about art and how to use cameras and color as my lead for all of the photos that I take. I thought maybe you'd want to know that. Especially since a lot of people who see my photography a lot, don't even know that, I don't think. Anyway, please enjoy! If you find yourself interested in prints or anything I have some sites where they are available and I will make my own as well. These are my more recent pictures....
