+ Untitled 22" x 28"
This particular piece is a personal favorite of mine. It represents the culmination of years artistic exploration. A synthesis of thoughts, feelings and aesthetics. I think I'm getting there.

+ Untitled (Trust) 22x 36 acrylic on wood
Relationships can often skew our perspectives and at times, blind us completely.There are many mysteries and unknown truths to experience and touch. I feel that trust is something that's hard to acquire and keep. The rewards can be fleeting or everlasting. And the strength needed to acquire trust can be hard to muster.

+ Catching Dreams 16x 22 Mixed Digital
This is a mixed media piece; ink, photoshop and watercolor. The piece revolves around the idea of catching ones dreams. In this particular case floating jellyfish are the personification of said dreams.

illustration process for self-promo

I've decided to post my process for a self-promo piece. It's always been a goal of mine to create a Bruce Lee illustration. I'm very pleased with the results. I've broken it down into 3 steps. Ink-work, flat color, and paint and texture. What i can't show is the all the time spent experimenting with color and texture. That's where it all comes together.

time frame:
sketches and inking approximately 4 hours
color and texture approximately 3.5 hours
