Recent

Here are some of my recently (and not so recently) completed projects. A few of these were much too large to fit in my scanner, thus the poor resolution. Before this year, I had never really used my sketchbooks for preliminary work, but have come to realize that this practice makes the process of completing a piece much easier (and efficient).

AC

Some of my first digital creations! A logo and banner designed for Youtube channel AC Music Theory by Andy Chamberlain.

Linoleum Prints

April, 2018, 4.5"×3.5," ink on paper.

This was a school art project in which we learned about making reduction prints from blocks of linoleum. This design was inspired by collective traditional Korean folk tales describing the interactions of tigers and rabbits, which represent contrasting classes of society.

Good Luck

October, 2017, 13"×24," graphite on paper.

Good Luck began as a school assignment when I was trying to fill in some sketchbook hours on a Sunday afternoon. Perhaps this was inspired by the fact that it was nearing late October. About a week later, my school art class was assigned a project that was themed "Within Reach." At the time, I wasn't entirely sure what these characters had anything to do with the theme of the project, but I decided to use them anyways (Shh!). The title of the piece didn't really come about until I had to find a connection between the composition and "Within Reach," whereupon I (with some help) gave it the title "Good Luck." (Good luck is not always within reach, but we often hope it is.) 

Morfran

Morfran (above left) to me is strongly reminiscent of any prickly, dusty thing that may be found in an old shed. He was, ultimately, the starting point of Good Luck, and I definitely intend to further develop his character in the future.

Girl

(Above center.) Not a self portrait, but in a number of ways similar to myself at a middle school age.

Arthur

(Above right.) Morfran's stalwart counterpart, Arthur, is very quiet despite his enormous mouth.  

Self Portrait

November, 2017, 34"×44," charcoal on paper.

This was the largest portrait I have ever attempted to complete. The process was quite challenging, and although there are still several things about it that I am not entirely fond of, the experience of completing something of this size was definitely valuable and worthwhile.
