II: REPRESENTATIONAL ART (A Study in Illustrated Form)In this collection of illustrative pieces I am exploring and playing with themes of bodily horror, medical fascination, alchemy, and the monstrous side of nature. This collection consists of gestural sketchbook studies, detailed watercolor and acrylic paintings, and digital art. Everything here is hand drawn and hand painted. Vibrant colors, subtle textures, and distressed surfaces are key elements equally as important to the subject matter. Many of these pieces are conceived, created, and completed in one sitting without any reference material. I start by sketching for hours on pieces of torn and crinkled paper. I then build a textured ground on which to paint before meticulously rendering and modeling the form on the sculpted surface of the paper.
