Latest progress shots of Piece 3 (title will change). This spring ahead shit on top of being a girl in the world is draining, y'all.

Here is a video of my latest COMPLETED work, Catfish, done entirely in ballpoint BIC pen on printmaking paper. I spent a long period of time in darkness in a sort of stasis - like a catfish lurking at the bottom of a lake. #bicpen #artistinnewyork #fineart #instudio #illustration
