I created these earrings for a friend. They’re a result of several trips to the bead/art store, numerous design variations, wire-work with the pliers and presto!

Here are my art donations for two upcoming street art events: Southsea (United Kingdom) and Vancouver, BC (Canada). The events are part of the “It’s Yours, Take It” series that have been popping up worldwide. According to the Flickr group, it’s an “impromptu street gallery created in a public space”–basically free art for the public.

Piano Woman is a mixed media illustration inspired by feathery headdresses, Cirque de Soleil, and pianos (my first love). The initial base for the girl was a candid photo I took from a few years back.

Distortion of Humanity is a mixed media piece (pen and digital) with a simple blackletter inscription: “The distortion of humanity is representative of our insecurities and discontent.” The skeleton is deformed, symbolizing the dark, corrupt nature of our humanity and how perceptions evolve–in positive and negative ways.

My bio-mechanical octopus is the main character of “Inevitable Futures”, a submission for the fifth edition of PROPAGANDA LA REVISTA, an online Latin magazine. The theme of the piece focuses on global warming and environmental concerns.
I chose to create a mutant octopus with a stylized gasmask to symbolize the multi-pronged horrors of environmental and climate change. The creature rides on the earth, rather than in its native oceanic habitat. The background has a dark post-nuclear feel, but the sci-fi aspect makes the work more accessible.

Mysterious Creatures is another mixed media piece created in the tradition of old Chinese papercuts and Japanese woodcut designs. The style is a deeper exploration of combining detailed linework with constrained patterns. This was created with various pens and Photoshop coloring.
A signed fine art print has been sent off to Munich, where it will find a temporary home in a local gallery. I’ll update this when more details arrive–so much mystery…

Both Girl Textured and Freedom were created by hand with pen/ink, then digitally colored. They are about freedom of mind and spirit. Maya Angelou’s book “I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings” was a major inspiration as it was about a constant struggle and trying to rise above one’s circumstances.
The top piece is a experimentation into combining intricate patterns with a simple tribal style.
