Book Illustration Chapt. 2: "Treedom"

This is done for the most part, it has a few things that need touch-ups, but I'm done with it for now. This chapter has to do with a boy who has a profound, experience with an amorphous, yet embracing and kind personality in a tree burl which beckons him on to a journey.

"Ahab's Apotheosis"

Heres a piece I did for my Moby Dick Literature class. Depicts Ahab, the Pequod, and a hint of Moby amongst many Melvillian Metaphors. On the backside of the painting in the previous post.

Into Form

Not quite done with this, not sure when/if I will so I though I might post these. Following the style of one of my most inspirational artists for me, Autumn Skye Morrison.

Summer

"Untitled" - 16"x20"

Hahahaha this is all I could manage to get myself to paint this summer break... And its definitely not done... I began to paint white over the upper left and just left it... Ahhh whatever.... It was fun painting it while it lasted though.

"As Within, So Without" 9" x12"

This was a final project for my English Image and Writing Class.

It had to incorporate image and text some how. I ended up painting then figuring out what I wanted to quote. I ended up seeing a pattern with the white squares; some going into my eye from my heart area where there ended up being a sort of abstract explosion thing. I realized this could illustrate "as within; so without" perfectly and the words fit perfectly into the squares. And it makes a cycle too. It was a perfect and unconscious unfolding haha. (sorry for the lousy lighting in photos =/)

Heres the sequence:

Painting Final: "Merkaba Rising" -5.5' x 3.5'

This was another fun art piece devoted to working abstractly. I feel like I was following themes such as parallel dimensions, organic-like structure, and the merkaba.

Here is a time-lapse of the painting process

I wanted to use the old "flower of life"

strongest geometrical shapes, to signify

interconnectedness and cohesion

amongst team mates.
