Ink, Watercolour on Paper
Once again escaping representation. I’m doing more art lately, but I really can’t commit myself to a specific style (although, in broad strokes, this is very much the same kind of thing I’ve been doing for a couple years now). I can’t really afford to quit doing representational stuff, though, especially since I’m trying to boost my craft. This was a birthday present for Erica!

This piece is a bit of a departure from my last few paintings; I’m experimenting a little. Pushing further from representation again, while not abandoning it completely (yet). It was a birthday present for Holly.

This was a birthday present for my friend Jesse, who is, among other things, a gifted musician. He composed the music that eventually filled my grad film. I’m not sure how many more pieces I am going to do in this combined “pretentious colour field painting/ink drawing” style. I really like doing them, but I feel like I’m ready to try some new things.

When I make art that will be a gift (especially if it is a blind Secret Santa style present, as this was) I let the frame help dictate the content. Hence, my first diptych! I am proud to say that this piece was “stolen” by my friend Daniel, who in his turn ignited a series of present-thefts that will be Remembered through the Ages.
I should say that this image is actually a composite of the piece scanned outside the frame, and the frame itself, as the scan of the image in the frame lost a lot of detail.

‘Tis the season for gift-art. This was a birthday present for my friend Katie, who is a superhero and a cyclist rolled into one. I’m not sure whether the idea for THE ROCK ULTIMATE came before or after this one, but I think of them as loosely related, for what I hope are obvious reasons.
