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.
