ABOUT MY DRAWINGS

A lot of my drawings and larger scale projects, like the Metaphorical Self-Portrait, come from ideas that I have formed in my sketchbook, which I try to carry with me 24/7. Examples of sketchbook pieces, and preliminary drawings for larger projects can be found in the second piece, the exerpt of the Artist Book. Please click on the image to see the developed and final project.

Examples of more casual and daily sketchbook entries can be found in "Diamonds" and the "Daily Cabinet Sketch" Series".
