A delicious supper for any true and noble fella. Theres no better meal than cigarettes, 7.62x54R, and “fish”.

 I created this based off a digital still life one of my professors had us do for a project. I am quite fond of this one - I am gonna hang it up in my kitchen!

I created an icon for my patron saint, Saint Brendan. I watched a number of documentaries on the process of making an icon and how everything works. Though the photo doesn’t show it, I used a variety of shiny and illustrious paints to give that gold foil look. I “borrowed” my girlfriend’s nail polish for the fish scales to give that good ol’ shimmer. Of course, clad in blue is Saint Brendan, behind him are the monks who followed him across the waves, being guided by the Holy Ghost. After trying to cook, they had awoken Jasconius, the giant fish who they mistook as an island.

Another project we had to do based off a digital collage, this time, I made a scary creature; Khuzang Red God. I’ve joked about giving this to my niece on her first birthday, I think my brother would find it quite humorous I think! Though, to give more information, initially, I wanted to build off the lore of Khuzang, a character that began as a DnD NPC, but has evolved into something so much more. He went from a well-respected monk, to a bum who lived in the mountains, then to shaman, and so on, so forth. All Khuzang are canon and are known to one another. In current lore, he was a heretic that stole the Breathe of God, and began a tribe of people who indulge in necoromancy and making golems.

A noble lass tasked with the ceaseless journey of killing squids - nothing more, nothing less.

A massive project I did during my first year of college. I used conte crayons to complete the piece (which the original measures 38 inches by 44 inches). I am still very proud of it! I based this off of two separate pieces: a Russian caviar dish made of silver that I had found in the Richmond Art Museum; and a statue of a diver my father (a retired Navy Seal) was given. The main point of this piece is the question, “Which is the true Sea Monster?”

I’ve been slowly working on a battle jacket - something I am wanting to use to help train myself with being patient with projects that take a long time. I’ve always struggled a bit with that which can be a blessing as well as a curse. I can churn stuff out like nobody’s business, but I tend to lose motivation the longer a project takes.

There was a time I wanted to explore an even zanier world concept, which is when I discovered BioPunk. I wanted to create a character based off of genetic mutations which is when I created Roach - a woman whose body is encrusted within the shell of some insectoid creature. I called her species “Pseudo-Daemons”, people augmented with these insects which emerged from the depths of Hell. I did not go too far with the world, but I may revisit it again in the future.

I created this piece as a Christmas gift fopr my girlfriend. Funnily enough, I am not too big of a Pokemon fan, but I do think some of the designs are cute! This was one of the first traditional pieces I had done in a couple years since I do more digital work. I also used this as an oppurtunity to try painting with a black canvas too which was a fun experience!

A piece I created to demonstrate the effects of light and shadow in my college painting class. We had to create our own display and paint it while also showcasing how several light sources of different colors affected the scene. I chose to make a scene showing the posessions of a 1900’s soldier.
