More Recent work

Hi guys,
Here are some more works on paper that I've been doing at my studio.  I'm really inspired by using Sumi ink  and a fountain pen as a medium right now.  There's something so simple yet complex when doing a black, white and gray drawings.  Using this limited medium enable me to challenge myself on how I convey the imagery to the viewers.  So.... enjoy.

I did these small drawings to flush out ideas that I want to try out for future work.  They're use as characters' study.

5 Shades of Grays?

As I told you readers and viewers in a past blog, I started to do black and white ink drawings again.  I like that I'm able to convey and visualize my thoughts easily on paper.  These drawings were done with Sumi ink on Rives BFK papers.  The 'colors' are these design markers I got in 5 different shades of grays.  I choose 5 sets of warm grays and 5 sets of cool grays, and used them in tandem with the ink drawings to give them dimensions.

New City, New Inspirations

Hey Guys,

So here's the new format of my blogs.  Hope you like it.  I've been doing a lot of new works on paper this past year. and I will start posting new stuff for you guys.  Since moving from Milwaukee to San Diego and living in a one bedroom studio, I've started to go back doing ink drawing and utilizing design markers in my work.  I find that the immediacy of drawing to be refreshing since I can translate and visualize an idea right away into reality.  I also started to do some more cut paper pieces again.  I find that the meticulous aspect of paper cutting forces me to think more about the pieces that I'm making.  Furthermore it teaches me about patience and it's kinda fun to see the pieces being 'set free' from the paper and become something.  So without further ado, I give you some recent pieces I've created.
