Odds and Ends

Here are some random pieces from winter and spring
Click on these images for a better view:

"The Integrated, Dismantling Forest Launchpad" OR "How Yellow Makes Me Happy" Painted as a commission. Modelled after Gustav Klimt's "Beech Grove"

"Cinque Terre". Done using chalk pastel.
Cinque Terre is a beautiful Italian village that I drew for my dad.
I worked with a diverse, rhythmic colour palette for the buildings on the cliffside. I felt like I was bordering on impressionism throughout this project, especially with the sea and sky.

"The Two Trees": a project for the upcoming Earth Pulse Magazine vol.2 Inspired by some basic archetypal symbols (the axis mundi and the serpent), I put them in a dynamic sort of post-apoclyptic wasteland. I almost felt it to be like a wizard duel at times, or a cataclysmic confrontation between good and evil.

Here is the finished product. Coloured on photoshop.

"The Steez Monkey"
T-shirt concept for Light and Soul's "Animalistic" clothing line

Initial Drawing for the Steez Monkey

Frozen Forest

Drawing of my nephew Gabriel in his halloween costume

"Mandala for the Earth" I created a symbol for the earth by integrating the Ying-Yang and the Pythagorean double-spiral. I incorporated the 24 elements in the human body and the 24 stages of the Chinese Solar Year.


Pattern made from an old drawing of a goose in flight
