Hand attempt

This

Piece is an attempt to study line and it's affect on form. I believe I could have executed this piece more correctly as the hand beneath the lines doesn't look quite right. If I were to redo this piece I would fix the hang to look more realistic by perhaps making it skinnier. 

Rage

This piece is a watercolor an ink depiction of a man with an explosion of color erupting from his head. This piece could be interpreted to describe the grave effect withholding anger can have on us. I still may add a background to this piece to fill in some of the empty space. Over all I am somewhat happy with this piece and hope to improve it if I choose to add the background. 

Crackin

This piece is an ink depiction of an octopus attacking a ship. I believe this piece is sucessful as it appears to be interesting to look at as well as having a fair amount of visual symmetry. If I were to redo this piece I believe I would attempt to add more details to the octopus itself. 

Cool

This piece is a mixed media depiction of a a older man with younger features. I used both acrylic and ink to create this piece. If I were to redo this piece I think I would try to add more depth tote skin in the face. I'm pleased with this piece as I believe it is aesthetically appealing. 

Life study

This piece is a life study drawing of a male model. The piece was created completely in graphite and took about an hour of drawing. If I were to continue this piece I  would attempt to add more details in the skin and perhaps a background. 

Full melt flower

This piece is a watercolor and ink depiction of two "tattoo-style" roses melting towards each other. I belove this piece was successful as it shows a fair amount of depth and shadow with little line work. If I were to recreate this piece I may have chosen to do a different type of flower for one of them though that may have take away from the meaning of the piece. This piece could be interpreted as a commentary on the seeming extinction and corruption of nature in today's society. I may perhaps attempt to add a pattern within the background. 

Industrivia complete

This piece is a watercolor and ink depiction of a man smoking a cigarette. This piece is on the more surrealistic as the smoke is seen as an industrial city. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the unforeseen consequences of an industrial society. Over all I am pleased with this piece as I believe it is aesthetically appealing as well as retaining a deeper meaning.

Head in the clouds completed

This piece is an acrylic depiction of a surrealistic take on a man day dreaming. I believe this piece is successful though I would have like to achieve somewhat cleaner lines in some portions of it. I would have also liked to add a border and fix some of the shading.

Tree

This piece is a watercolor depiction of a tree with an abstract-esque background. This piece was an expirement I did using watercolor and a technique using a small squeeze bottle to blow the paint abstractly. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of this piece and believe it was successful as it was sold fairly quickly. 

Owl completed

This piece is an ink illustration I completed of a more cartoon style owl surrounded by a dying tree. I am pretty happy with how this piece turned out as I think the style of the piece is well represented. I will look further into doing more ink based pieces.

Abstract piece

This piece is my attempt at an abstract piece. I used pencils and acrylic to create this painting. I believe this piece is successful as I like the colors scheme I used. If I were to redo this piece I would probably take a different approach for the background.
