Digital Art

Understanding through my creative journey: (#1) The pen tool is my digital best friend! It is one of the main tools that has helped me create my artwork and many of my other designs. (#2) Using mixed media introduces another stylistic approach. Scanning images, textures, and sketches into the computer has become a process I've used to integrate other medias into the digital realm. (#3) The importance of composition. Bringing in the principles of composition when laying out the foundation to a work of art can help guide the viewers engagement.

Arbitrary Series
[Position] :: Self-Project [Overview] :: Originally influenced by discovering random shapes and figures within a textured wall, I created a series of study drawings based off of drawing arbitrary shapes and lines on a piece of paper. Once there was a gathering of unplanned content on the paper, similar to an inkblot test, I would pull the paper away and analyze the formation. If I saw a defined formation resonating at that time, I would approach the path and complete the drawing. [Role] :: Illustrate
