More ink . . .






A number of other ink drawings I did recently. There's more. Seriously, I did a lot of them.

Scrolls



Another two long drawings I did. Inspired by Japanese painting.

Catholic boys confess their sins.






These pieces started out as just an itch I couldn't get rid of unless I drew them. In a way I guess they're about my high school experience: an all-male environment; raw stoicism mixed with unchecked teenage angst; idealized perspectives of God and women. They are more symbolic than literal. The shirts, faces, hands, postures, and haloes are all imbued with their own meanings.

New work coming soon!

Sometime in the near future I'll be posting pictures of new art. Sorry for the big delay between posts. Been very busy trying to get a portfolio of a cohesive body of work together. Expect new ink drawings as well as some bizarre depictions of what it was like being a high school student in an all boys school. Also, wish me luck on submitting work to New American Paintings Southern Art issue.
