Exodus, charcoal and acrylic medium on paper, 25x40 inches, 2012 (in progress)

This piece is still in some major process… In fact this is kind of an old picture of it already, but I can’t show you the whole magic trick at once right?… Another picture will be coming soon.

Still deciding whether I want to crop it, hence the black bar on the right hand side of this picture.

I will also be putting up a couple smaller pieces that I’ve been doing for fun.

Oh yeah!… first post of 2012!… How does it feel!?

Happy New Year!… and remember God only lets people who keep their Resolutions into heaven… srsly

Threshold, Charcoal and chalk on paper, 19 x 23 in., 2011

I need to figure out whether I want to crop or alter this one. For some reason I love this drawing… I know I’m not supposed to like my own work but….. Deal with it!…

comments please, seriously now!

Hallowed Room 35.5'' x 49'' charcoal, chalk, ink, acrylic, pastel on ripped paper mounted on board

Wasteland 12.5'' x 49'' charcoal, chalk, pastel, ink, and acrylic on ripped paper mounted on board

These are new drawings from 2011 that are heavily influenced by Art Deco architecture and design. Each piece was composed attempting to achieve separate formal goals, however the technique gives both works a sense of unity. I really enjoyed using the paper as a surface and I intend to start using paper, in this way and in others, in more of my work.

As a side note I am currently working on a large 4′ x 4′ drawing using this technique. I will post progress pictures soon.
