Recycle Canvas?





These first four sketches are most likely part of the smiling workman series, but i thought ill share. 
Ideas of love are best served on a dish cold...









Working with Creating the Figure in an abstract way for re-creation of activities that one generally wants to become ambiguous when executing these activities. Dealing with Nightlife and the expressive movement of the body with vivid brushstrokes. These are my sketches. let me know what you think...

New Project: Abstract Expressionist Figure Art







Currently it looks like nothing but an on-going process of course.
Trying to capture the movement and energy of a blurred picture is pretty difficult. 
This work is a study for the later larger works by understanding of how to paint with an expressive mark.
I want this expressive mark to capture the viewer into a scene at a party.a feeling of ambiguous lucious movement of fun activity.

Project had to be Cancelled

Project Title: Bending Dimensions of Reality from the eyes of just another Tourist






I canceled my continuation of work on these paintings because of the self-created emotional pain of being in a constant state of simulacrum. Trying to depict symbols and tell a story that is playing out in front of our eyes as rome is burning. It is Human nature for history to repeat itself...  There was many more layers to this project and might be re-addressed after graduation.
