Artist Statement:

One night, I was sitting there with a brand new set of alcohol ink markers and a very nice line drawing and I decided to to do a blue and rose mood study. This is a portrayal of my father, inspired by Picasso’s “The Guitarist.”

Artist Statement:

I love a song called “The Bird Song” and while listening to it I was inspired by the lyrics and decided to make a piece based off of it. I used a pencil, a giant sketch pad, and a crappy set of watercolors in the creation of what I call “The Raven’s Ballad.”
