The Little Mermaid
Girls
The CollegiateSo today was the day Irma and I displayed some of our recent artwork in the Majestic Sheridan Hallway Gallery. These three are pieces that I have worked on over for the past few months. I posted the "Little Mermaid" a while ago. I thought I should post all the pieces that are hanging to show the collective aesthetic. These were really fun to do. I tried to mix my old style of working with new techniques I have been influenced by lately. It's been so long since I have used graphite. I used to work with detailed graphite ever since grade school. Being at College has influenced me to use other media. I decided to combined the draftsmanship of pencil with multiple types of washes of paint. The collective theme is home. I wanted to show things that I miss, like my family, friends, and high school. I enjoy representing my home town in my work. I feel more pride than ever coming from a small town. So if you have a chance go check out mine and Irma's work. Thanks in advance for the support.

wow... you are really stepping it up this year, gregorhawk!
i really like some of this personal stuff.
especially the use of graphite... i've always thought it gives a nice feel over top of paint.
my favorite would have to be the "girls" one.
who are the people in the picture?
it'd be cool to know more about your thought processes behind these works.

nice work greg!! i like how you keep making new stuff!they really inspire me.i especially love the building piece. when i saw this in a hallway, it really made me take a close look. it has beautiful details to it!
Thanks. Recently I have found myself in front of a computer screen for most of my projects. So I decided to balance myself out and do something completely raw. What's more basic than pencil, right? The girls in the the drawing are my friends Jessica and Alexandra from the Bay.
