2-D WORK:
This is a collection of some of the drawings and paintings I have created in non-digital format. Enjoy!
Girl and Leopard Print
This drawing was created in one of my Figure Drawing classes at UT Austin. With this one, I tried to create large, dark outlines to contrast against all the intricate patterns and from the fabrics and objects. The background was inspired by Zak Smith.
MEDIUM: Ink and Marker on Paper.
Candice's Reflection
One of a large series I did of my good friend, Candice. I was incorporating bright colors along with intricate patterns and large black areas. Another drawing inspired by the style of Zak Smith.
MEDIUM: Ink and Marker on Paper.
Angels and Ciruits
In this drawing I was contrasting something organic alongside something technical. I chose a very iconic image of cherubs with sketchlike interpretations of computer circuits.
MEDIUM: Charcoal, Ink, and Marker on Paper.
Untitled
This is drawing that was created in a life drawing class at UT Austin. We were assigned to create something loose and dark: chiaroscuro-like. One of my first attempts to NOT blend the charcoal and use the material as roughly and loosely as possible.
MEDIUM: Charcoal on Paper.
Tap Girls
One piece of a large collection of paintings I did titled "The Jean-Benet Syndrom." These paintings are all life-sized force the viewer to be encountered with the idealist nature of small beauty queens. This particular one is of two tap students performing on stage.
MEDIUM: Oil on Canvas.
Backstage
Another piece of the "Jean-Benet Series" collection. This one portrays dancers backstage ready to perform while one girl strikes a sassy pose for a picture. I concentrated on showing as much detail on the materials of their costumes as possible.
MEDIUM: Oil on Canvas.
Headdress
A painting created of a model from a Christain Lacroix spread, one of my favorite designers. I loved this image because of all the little intricate details that were in her outfit. I wanted to contrasted the high detail with an impressionistic background.
MEDIUM: Oil on Canvas.
Girl With Hat
Another image from the same Christain Lacroix collection. In this one, I really enjoyed the model's expression alongside all the fluff and tassles on her body. In this painting, I loosened up the detail and went for a more impressionistic feel, especially concentrating on the folds in her clothing.
MEDIUM: Oil on Canvas.
