Hello, 2010.

Concept:
With my art, I want people to envision a story, to see my art and be intrigued to what's going on in the emotionally-charged illustrations.

Subject:
Mainly consist of illustrations and portraits.

Art Elements:
Primary focus: color and shape.

Design Principles:
I will try to add value to my work by portraying specific design principles in each artwork. Again, I will try.

Influences:
Grant Wood - His landscapes and the depth of the pieces. It takes your eyes beyond what's in the center of the page.

Francisco Goya - Themes in the Black Painting series. The painting of Saturn Devouring His Son makes me want to read more into the story. The Great He-Goat is also intriguing. I want people to want to know more about my paintings past the technical aspects of them.

Gustav Klimt: Textures and colors. The textures and colors that surround the main subjects attract me more than the main subjects themselves. The evident brushstrokes and various patterns make his art his own.
Materials:
Watercolor paint, colored pencils, pen.

Mk, I got the last two pieces done. I found the quick sketch of Summer that I did. It doesn't look anything like her but her hair. I inked it and used Prismacolor colored pencils. The one with the black chick is done, too. I'm doing some touch-ups though. I hate this one.

Why yes, that's where I make love.
Why yes, that's the shadow of my head. Why yes, I took this on the crappy ole camera on my laptop. Why yes, the cat is neon orange... damn.
