This maker drawing of a woman is approximately 8″ x 5″. It is a portrait style piece of art, drawn with grey markers and energetically overlapped with vibrant marker colors. Green and yellow dominate the vibrant side of the spectrum in order to produce a less complementary color scale. So the tension in the art relies mostly on the white overlay that disrupts the flow all the other values. The red lips draw focus, and the slightly more detailed eyes help to keep the viewers attention on specific areas of the portrait.

This is an abstract surreal drawing / painting of a Moose. The art was created in 2007 with paint pens, watercolor, colored pencil, crayons, and markers. It is approximately 8.5″ x 11.5″. Multiple layers of colored pens and watercolor washes were built up in the beginning. Additional colors, along with interesting patterns, shapes, and lines, were added later to create a dynamic image. Loose or tight lines, big or small shapes, and bright or muted colors are all used in specific places to guide the eye through the art and provide focus and coherence to a variety of visual concepts and techniques.

These 2 motorcycle drawings and paintings were created in 2007 with a mix of watercolor, markers, paint pens, crayon, colored pencils, and acrylic paint. A silver paint pen was used to create the chrome, but the reflective qualities of the art could not be accurately reproduced in digital format. Equal attention to color and line was given to both the motorcycles and their backgrounds, in order to increase the intensity of each drawing.

As an ode to the recent film “28 Weeks Later“, and its predecessor “28 Days Later“, I decided to mortify a zombie looking creature. It is a digital work of art, implementing numerous adjustments to the color, value, contrast, blur, and many other effects applied to the original image. I hope it is as striking as the films were meant to be, if only captured in one irrelevant work of digital art.

The hand studies were drawn with energetic lines and bright, vibrant colors. The last work of art is a close up of a thumb. My first art teacher always told me you can never draw enough hand studies.

These 2 faces were created in 2007 with an abstract notion of actually drawing a face. The faces were drawn with paint pens, marker, watercolor, and some acrylic paint. The main feeling I wanted to convey was one of energy and transparency. The vibrant colors and broken patterns and shapes help to destabilize the faces, while accented eyes, noses, and mouths still keep the basic structure in tact.
