"Jim Dine Tool Inspired"

1. 11x15 in
2. acrylic paint and charcoal
3. I just wanted to do a somewhat simple, up-close detailed drawing of the tools. I didn't want a lot of extra to distract from the main drawing.
4. I think this one turned out really well. I like the dull colors with the bit of red.

"Portrait of yourself in 20 years"

1. 11x15 in
2. charcoal, acrylic paint, sharpie
3. 20 years from now is full of unknowns for me. This was supposed to have the idea of a maze--but an imperfect or impossible one. Life is like a never-ending maze and one that you have to continue, despite getting blocked. The lightbulbs are symbolizing events in life that made me who I am. The figure is just a generic form without any features because when I am 37 who knows what I will look like--it will be based on my experiences.
4. I like this and think it is interesting. I think that something needs to be added to create more unity, though I was trying to make a definite devision between the figure and maze.
