Ink and Watercolour on Paper
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.

It was originally going to be a dude playing the guitar, but I decided that since women can rock out too, it would be cooler if it was a lady. She’s having a blast: look at that grin!
This piece was made for a secret santa event – it seems like the only thing that can get me to finish one-off art pieces is gift-giving occasions. Maybe I will write about that, some time.
