Was inspired to take a look at my old work since I’ve never posted them on Bluesky. I’ll post a few old favorites as I can.
This is an old sketch that was inspired by a Da Vinci drawing for a high school class actually. More stylized than realistic but I do still like it. She also has the thinnest eyebrows I’ve ever seen. I think this is because the subject of the original Da Vinci sketch has this wispy look about her like from a dream… This is my favorite painting that I’ve ever done I think. Maybe just because I was reading my favorite book of all time for the very first time while I was painting this series, but… it really reminds me of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest. But I also really love the range and vibrancy of the colors, mostly primary, that I used to frame this dark central figure. It feels raw and chaotic where I cut out details with a palette knife. Simplistic, but… I enjoy it. I also painted this in high school. This piece is done in pencil, black ink, and pasted film. Kurt Cobain is looking pretty cool here, holding his guitar and smoking a cigarette. I wonder what was on his mind when the original photo was snapped.

I did this piece for Jacob Walpole and paired it with one of my favorite songs by him 🥰
