Odalisque, a horizontal image for once!

This is a Christmas post, even though it’s not a Christmas piece! It does have themes of Christmas though… part of the text reads “All that is, is love”. Merry Christmas with art, everyone!

Here’s a little one that I just enjoyed making. A turtle with a city on his back. It’s nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed doing it and I think it’s kinda neat.

A simple portrait, pink and metallic style!

Part of a Calendar on Zazzle. This is a doodle that took a much longer time. I worked on it throughout several classes, I think, and perhaps also a meeting. When coloring, I played with color families in order to “set off” space. Just enjoying some free drawing, really, squiggles Read more…

This is a very small doodle that I just liked so much the way it was. I didn’t feel like adding or taking anything away. So it is done, in its smallness. The shape reminded me of a snail, so that’s the title of it.

“Universe” is another one of the smaller drawings that I’ve done in my note-taking sketchbook. I find that I take a lot less notes in class… but I am ultimately, more attuned and more productive. I’m not really sure how this developed into what it is now, but I have Read more…

I drew this one specifically for intricacy. I was playing around with the complicatedness and the intensity of the flowers, details, and cities.

μη φοβοῦ, an image of cobbled together pieces that I think will come together well in further artwork.

I drew the majority of this piece while listening to a lecture given by Cornell West and Carl Dix, when they came to campus in May. It was a really inspirational lecture–despite the fact that both of the speakers disagreed on a lot of things, and that I disagreed with Read more…

I remember drawing this during a course, when everyone was talking about pretty and neat theories about theology and God. I did the outline first, just kind of doodling about how odd that conversation felt–like there was a whole messy world underneath this pretty suburban house.

This piece is just a doodle that I did in my notebook during class. I like it a lot, actually, and it’s a template for a thank you card which is for sale on Zazzle.
