new digital art

Over the weekend I had fun unwinding and relaxing as I looked through artworks dating all the way back to 2003. Some art sketches and others were class projects and one is just inspiration that had to be put on paper :)

All of these are works of art I created, then photographed and then re-worked in Adobe Photoshop.

I hope you enjoy because I loved creating them.

self-portraits (watercolor)

See I knew there were more recent ones....These were both done 2008 in my watercolor class at UW-Milwaukee

"self"



"self"

Self-Portraits

So I am going to expand my original thoughts on the purpose of this blog to include a view of my past works and where "I was" when I made them. I believe art can be a window to who I am. I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to give me ANY feedback or comments!


This is an oil painting I did this past summer 2009 "Self in Sunglasses"


This is a sketch I did for a charcoal drawing. 1998
 

Here was the final charcoal drawing...it was Eve crying and I used myself for the inspiration
"Eve is too Big" 1998



These are several sketches I did I would say back in the middle school years of 1993-1995

This one says "you only want what you want"
 
"Deep Flower" 1994
 

"the alien cries"
 

"look into my eye"
 


It seems I wrote text on some of many of my works. The text on here is hard to read because it is fading away. It says "You never really see where the true sadness comes from"
 

This one says "Grow, be different, be happy!" 1994
 

This was a sketch made for a future drawing. 1998
 

Here was the final drawing the above sketch was for. The project was to make a drawing with something  missing and then make what is missing appear in color. So as you can see...




 "self" can not read the date
 

"self"











"self" 1997





"self" 2003


"self" 2003...sometimes very confusing and complicated


This was a photo Eric took of me when we were on vacation in Mexico. I uploaded the photo to Illustrator.



I drew a graphite sketch of a tattoo which was inspired from the Book of Kells.



and then incorporated with the photo in Illustrator resulting in this work. 2007


Hope you enjoyed the self-portraits I could find. I will continue to add to this collection.
