The Evolution of Beast, God, and ManColored Pencil and ink on the back cover of a moleskin notebook.10"x8"This piece started as a draft for a tattoo design and kind of just took on a life of its own. The main figure has the body paint of a Taino warrior. His left arm becomes a wing, and also the eye of a dragon. The dragon's pupil is based on an artist's rendition of a black hole. The piece flows into various scenes and images surreally connected around the dragon's head. God is represented as a sleeping woman.

ImagineAcrylic on canvas board. Part of a guitar study.12"x16”The paint was applied with a palette knife and masking tape. Each background color was applied with a distinct pattern. The background is inspired by stained glass and uses only cool colors. This is contrasted by the minimalist representation of a guitar in the foreground, which was inspired by John Lennon's signature self-portrait, using warm colors.
Organized CacophonyGraphite on paper and acrylic on canvas board. Part of a guitar study/ Part of a hand study.8"x12"Originally titled "Unfinished Piece" this painting is meant to embody the chaos that is a yet-unfinished project, whether it be writing a song, finishing a drawing, or making a PowerPoint presentation for work. The hand is, by far, the most detailed part of the drawn portion and is in the process of drawing the guitar and amplifier, which are little more than outlines.
