Father's Day Greeting Card

I always enjoy making greeting cards for others, it's one of my most consistent hobbies (bear making never took off). This one was for my step-dad and while the content isn't something that is easy to relate to, I think it was executed well.

Crayon Childhood

I'm always a sucker for old photos, the grainy feel, the pastels, lovely.  Anyhow, I was toying around with crayon as a medium. They aren't so bad at a small scale.

I was a goofy child.

Sketchbook - 3

I don't know the thought behind this piece, I wanted three different subjects. The head is from a piggy bank that I had lying around in my room.

This one was from the beginning of college, I played with the idea of three different subjects again, though none were referenced from something I found in real life.

The Brighter Side

A poster I designed in support of singer/songwriter Meiko.

What's a Blog Without a Cat?

I believe this one was finished sophomore year of college? I was playing around with pastels and somehow ended up with this.

Closet - 2009 - 2013

So this was originally made in high school. I never liked it, but my art teacher felt otherwise. As an artist I would always question why people sometimes found what I didn't like enjoyable and that the things that I really thought were good just alright. It's always a struggle. This summer I picked it up and decided to add color along with 3 years of new experience. It's debate on whether or not I like it more than the original.

Sketchbook - Shoes : 2010

I'd like to think that this was a statement about what girls are supposed to wear vs. what boys can wear. It would explain the gender symbols in the background. I always enjoyed dabbling into footwear.
