T-SHIRT DESIGNS

Years ago, I partnered with a friend to create a t-shirt company. Here are some designs from that era.
I look forward to making more modern t-shirt designs in the near future.

SELF PORTRAITS

Self Portrait Pencil Ink
Self Portrait
Colored Pencil, Pen & Ink
A drawing I did years ago, just to prove to myself I could still draw somewhat realistically. I thought, what is the most difficult, least appealing art task I could give myself? I know, I can draw a realistic self portrait! To spice it up, the ‘drawing’ of me is drawing me, thus the art is making the artist ‘real’.

 

Self Portrait Glass

Broken Glass Jar, Steel Ball Bearings, Metallic Ink, Matboard 
Project created spontaneously the night before it was due. It all started with a hammer and a jar. I utilized the entire jar’s worth of pieces. And yes, I actually had spiky green hair at the time.
