Pearl Diving
This one came from a bunch of things. Started from watching a video-essay on how the internet is deliberately designed to distract you from the tasks at hand. This combined with the idea of having a figure being obscured and cut apart by a bunch of colourful shapes. Also I always wanted to do a piece with marine life like the fish market paintings the renaissance artists used to do, although this one turned out to be pretty different from that.
WIP of something. Mostly an excuse to draw marine life.
Based on the poem “Witness to a Massacre”. For a poetry and art magazine called Popshot.
Colors inspired by Apocalypse Now.
Little bit late for Valentine’s Day but I had the opportunity to illustrate a cover for Eugene Weekly. The subject of the article was Monster Erotica, had a lot of fun coming up with ideas for that.
Big thanks to AD Todd Cooper for the assignment! You can go to the Eugene Weekly website to check out the article.
