 | This is a study I did for a drawing class I took in college. At first glance, it looks like a 3x3 tesselation. Take a closer look and you'll see that it's actually a 6x6 tesselation of a smaller drawing. (Incidentally, the original shape comes from a close-up ink drawing of the shadows cast in the empty eye socket of a plastic skull I had in college.) |
 | This is a study that continued where the previous drawing left off. It's one 4x4 block of the previous picture painted in thin strips of white, black, and nine shades of gray. I literally stayed up all night before the day this was due trying to get it done. Although I was pleased with the results (especially after comparing them with those of the other students in my class), it was at this point that I knew that I couldn't maintain a music performance major and an art minor. A year later, I was minoring in philosophy. |
 | During my last semester in high school, I took an independent study in art. This is the only piece of note that came out of that semester. It received an honorable mention in the school art show that year. Note how patches of grass cover the bottom corners of the frames. Also note the roll of toilet paper flying out of the third frame. This is just your basic bathroom...make that outhouse...humor. |
 | This is a woodcut I did in a printmaking class in high school. I wish I knew where that piece of wood was now. |
