I am very excited to be able to showcase my work for PAD's "First Fridays" event! The work displayed will be primarily thesis work with a few new pieces that relate to the series.

Ten Paces and Draw--November mixtape

Ten Paces and Draw featured my art this week for their "November Mixtape"--a bit different from their usual sketch swap; we were given a selection of songs to choose from and illustrate. I chose "Bobby Beale" by the Generationals--check out the song and full post here!

Holler to my man Klimt for providing the inspiration for this dysfuctional relationship piece

Birthday Card

A watercolor I made for my roommate's birthday yesterday---happy birthday Annie!!

Handlettering Commission

This is a commission I did a while back--sorry for the poor image quality! I grabbed a few snapshots before sending the illustration on its way. The work was commissioned by someone who wanted a gift for his sister who was graduating from college. She had a typed list of personal inspirational quotes that she kept on her mirror which he wanted to have hand-lettered and framed. You can see the document in its original form below.

Ten Paces and Draw

It was a lot of fun to contribute to the blog Ten Paces and Draw this week! The theme was "Pet Portraits", and this is my finalized version of Kyle Fewell's cat sketch. You can see them together here and also check out Jen Mussari's version of my sketch here

Cards!

Two cards I recently made--one is a thank you to a friend's parents who let a bunch of us stay at their home in Connecticut last weekend for a rock climbing trip, and the other is a very belated birthday card.
