Hi! I made this for my sister for christmas. It is a self-portrait as a starving bird paper toy. It is acrylic paint and pen on multiple layers of bristol.

“Spock Walk”
8.5″ x 5.5″
ink and paint on bristol

At my current location, I have one pad of 9″x12″ smooth bristol paper, one x-acto knife with one #11 blade, one yellow opaque paint marker, two staedtler pigment liner pens (.1 and .5), one “usable” 12″ wooden ruler and one .7mm bic mechanical pencil. I also have assorted scraps of tracing and drawing paper that are in pretty miserable condition, but are definitely still usable. With these resources combined I have made this drawing. It is a multi-layered pen drawing on bristol with opaque marker. There are four different pieces that are not yet glued together, because I don’t have any glue.

This drawing is referenced from two photographs in the March 2002 National Geographic in an article about prairie-chickens.

Here is another multi-layer painting/ink drawing I just finished up tonight.

Quiet Riot! – 5″ x 8″ acrylic and ink on Bristol

Like the previous piece I completed, this is mostly an experiment in process. I am trying out some things I haven’t done before. I don’t know where this is headed, but I think I am going to keep following it. Here is a detail shot of Quiet Riot!
