Inspiration for this piece came frim my love of nature, so I surrounded my name with two ferns and added flower bud accents to the ends of my name. I enjoy the symmetry of the piece, and the colors are very complementary. The piece is done in acrylic and ink.  

Metamorphosis

A fun story behind this piece: While working at McDonalds one day a woman walked in and asked what kind of fish our fish filets were made with. I like to have a sort of morbid sense of humor so I quietly replied to my coworker "they're made with the flushed pet gold fish of little children" and there birthed the idea of this piece. 

I made this from acrylic paint mixed with water and did the outlining in ink. I really love the cartoonistic look I gave the fish, as well as how he seems to realize what he's becoming. 

Sketch assignment

I decided upon the mix of bug and humam for my sketch piece. I thought it'd be fun to make a moth woman, but to make her more of a moth than a woman.. I like how creepy it looks.

I used colored pencil on acrylic paper, the pencils blend very nicely but not as much as on vellum. 

Key Holio

I'm going to start by saying I think I used the wrong medium for this piece. I love the way oil pastel blends but it just can't give me the detail I want.

My keyhole piece is a connection between the fantasy and digital world through a keyhole like portal. I thought the contrastin environments would look really trippy together. 

Though I think I used a wrong medium I still like how this piece eventually turned out. It wasnt my favorite at the beginning and I lost love for it, but I rekindled those flames when I added more to it.

Biggest fear

For the biggest fear assignment I decided to do something that gives me anxiety, and that was people touching me without my knowing or consent. I decided to focus on the hands touching, so I created an image of hands cut at the wrist, and they're all intertwined, some touching and interacting with each other.

The piece is done in acrylic on a very large piece of paper.

I find the piece fun to look at, I really enjoyed creating the hands, it even helped me improve on the anatomy of how hands move.

Dictionary Piece: PRISM

I chose to do a prism for my dictionary piece because I saw that I could create an array of colors. I used watercolor mostly, but there's some ink and acrylic involved.
I thought it'd be a cool idea to have light coming through the prism and leaving as the opposite of prismatic colors. I think this was a fun simple assignment, I love the blend of the colors and the font I used.

Inspirational Hair

Symbolic hair was such a fun assignment and I was even more pleased to find out that I could create a symbolic beard! 

The piece is done in acrylic mixed with a bit of water. 

Here's the finished piece! I'm in love with it, the fun colors and cartoonistic style. It was definitely a fum piece to do.
