These are some ideas that I have been tangling with recently. I have been thinking a lot about figure and design, and how to make them become narrative. Working with ink is starting to become more fun. I'm finding the organic quality of it mesmerizing. Subconsciously I am making better decisions. Using ink has become my "anti-OCD". I'm hoping it will destroy the anxiety in my artowrk and give it more life. The first image at the top, I actually finger painted. I tend to use my hands at any chance I can get. It was fun. I am going to miss life drawing over the summer. Only one more week left in 3rd Year Academia.

That first piece looks like it could be a huge canvas, like 9x6 feet.
