Work Gallery
There's two things I would like state here - I think I am a decent artist, more through the fact that I draw on everything everywhere all the time and the years and years of practice has made me an expert doodler rather than because I am inherently talented. Also, I would like to say basically all of my drawings are doodles, my prefered medium is ballpoint pen on scrap paper, and I think drawing idly while I am busy thinking or doing other things rather than sitting down with the intent of "doing art" makes me feel completely free from pressure and thus I am able to experiment and play because I don't feel compelled to create a masterpiece everytime I put pen to paper, I just do my thing and if it comes out as art or is perceived as art, yay, if not, cest la vie. The drawings in this particular gallery were created like this: I sketched something and liked the way it looked so I took a picture of it with my terrible cellphone camera, put it in photoshop and did my digital work to finish it. Because my camera is terrible, it would often distort the picture or cause crazy colors to show up. I am cool with this, I incorporate it into the finished product and I actually like that a bit of randomness shapes the end result.
This shows my process - if you were curious!
This is a steam powered clock, it started from a doodle that ended up looking like a face and progressed from there. The cup with pens/pencils is a replica of the one sitting on my desk!
This is a clockwork automaton fortune teller. I really like the way the colors from my flash ended up creating the color set for her outfit. Also notice in these two images the bottom right is darker... its from the shadow of my arm blocking the camera flash.
I think this might be a self-portrait...
The bird was a drawing I did in a meeting, the skeleton is holding a rabbit head cane. I used this as the background for my website.
Distorted colors from the camera again, I like the contrast between the orange and the blue.
