The first piece of my BFA show, "Egregore."
I thought it best to begin the show with a portrait, given that the show is centered on Lyric himself.

The artist statement for my BFA exhibition, "Egregore."
Uploading it as an image for the sake of consistency. The statement explains the concept of the entire visual show: who the character "Lyric" is, along with the burden that slowly consumes him as the show progresses.

See all my uploads? I can do art, just as promised. ~w~
Now I need to work on uploading the actual BFA content, which requires more actual photo editing. See how that goes. x.x
In the meantime, I guess enjoy my Blue Protocol deer boy being pretty~

This piece has a lot of sentimental value, and the subject matter-- my old cat Scully-- has particular life-shaping importance.

After those two studies, I wanted to start experimenting with color being combined with my ink subtractive method. Something I'd never done before.

The goal of this was to design a set of posters for an upcoming event on campus. The first of three could only manipulate spacing, the second spacing/positioning/size, and the third could include additional shaping.

"Apotheosis." India ink wash and acrylic ink on 40"x40" watercolor paper. Fall 2022.
This *technically* was the first piece to be considered a BFA piece, but ended up not making the cut because it doesn't use any subtractive methods. I still like the piece, even past the obvious face-hiding.
