  4. A little experiment to see how saturated i can get water color over graphite.  I first laid down a layer of powdered graphite, and began erasing and drawing in the forms.  This made the paper bog down with graphite, and didn’t allow for color to hold well. Typically I like the way water color and graphite separate, but apparently there’s a fine line.  Came out kinda interesting however.  Enjoy!

  8. Fabric or wall paper pattern.  Very happy with how this turned out.  Obviously based on vintage floral fabrics, however i tried to implement a sense of modernity using geometrics.

trying something new.  Trying to juxtapose geometric shapes against black and white images.  Like if you do, re-blog if you don’t.  Or do both regardless.

  10. I found this one on the beach, picked apart by seagulls, while looking for octopuses in the tide pools.  
Bleached, hollowed, and under-lit.
