Wallflowers & Networking.
Lately my mind has been covered in flora. I can’t get enough of these drawings. I’m working diligently at finding the perfect frames for this series. There are some empty spots on some Dallas walls that need filling.
These have been a delight to make! As soon as my shipment of glass arrives (hopefully next week), a small army of these beauties will be listed in my shop. Each black patina frame will contain a miniature, one-of-a-kind illustration by me! I’ll be offering these in at least two sizes. The one shown here is a bold piece at 2×2″.
This piece is especially meaningful to me. I drew it in honor of Valentina Grace, the beautiful daughter of a dear friend of mine.
I am now a proud member of the Behance Network. I especially adore the clean layout, and the freedom of posting projects that contain different media. I’m in the presence of SO many talented artists. It’s impossible not to feel inspired.
The Passage of Air.
I must admit, this is my favorite illustration of the series thus far. I picked up some much thicker Micron pens to experiment with, and I’m really loving the outcome. I definitely plan to do more high contrast drawings in the future!
I’ve got two grueling days of finals & paper writing ahead of me, then I’ll be hunched over my bristol board working on some custom orders, and working on getting my favorite pieces framed for art shows in my (near) future. More on that soon!

Organ Donor.
We weren’t exactly rich when I was growing up, but there was one thing my parents let me buy unlimited amounts of-books! I spent my formative years with my face buried in vintage anatomy textbooks, botany and nature picture books and glorious, dusty encyclopedias. I’ve always been fascinated to view an individual artist’s interpretation of the same seemingly inflexible subject matter…here is a dose of mine. I have a few more to show you very soon.
If you’d like to see me draw a particular organ or part of the body, I’d love to hear your ideas.
