No MORE Guilt!

Pen and Ink 11x14 inches My drawing concept is designed to depict a graphic novel of my life. The drawings reflect ideas within the trapped state of my inner emotions ...

 

 

Where do I go from here?

 

Pen and Ink 10X11 inches

I start out with a white surface where everything is crisp, smooth, clean and new. At first, I feel apprehensive to start, so I move slowly. Gradually, I become familiar with the surroundings and draw all over until the work is completed. Using a two-handed approach, I attack the page with black pens to create gestures, faces of characters and light to dark contrasts. The types of phrases used, and word choice, are based on inner thoughts or outrageous comebacks used by those considered outcasts of society.
