When Hope Replaces Fear


This drawing is made using Prisma-markers and ebony pencil. The mice in the piece represent the human race and how they are trying to save all they can from the computerized black holes in the upper corner of the piece. The computerized black holes represents computer technology that might one day become so powerful that it may one day take over everything that we own and hold dear.

Chairs


This is a black and white still life drawing of chairs that have been stacked and arranged for a strong and appealing composition. Ebony pencil is the exact media that was used in the piece. The cast shadows along the chairs and cushions are very strong and show weight and structure to the entire piece. I am very proud of this piece since it was capable of gaining a spot at the Young Master's competition and also was displayed in the Dallas Museum of Art.

In the Shoes of....


This drawing is a replicated drawing of a historic painting by Carrvagio unless I am confusing with another painter. But in this piece I replaced the head of Christ with my own face, and I also added a hidden object in the piece. This piece was meant more to show the emotions that I would express in the place of Christ.

David and the Fish Tank


This drawing is made using cross-hatching with a feltip pen. My brother David is the subject who is staring off into the fish tank in front of him viewing the fish.

Self-portrait


This is a self-portrait drawing using Prisma-color pencils and Ebony pencils. This picture is part of a series of drawings that focuses on the Renaissance styled paintings. This particular drawing uses the techniques of Rembrandt.

The drawing was used to capture all the emotion that I was feeling during the time that my dog passed away. I used a single light source to emphasize the dramatic feeling of the piece.
