Psychopomp - Annual Visual Art Open House

   On March 14th, York's Visual Arts program held its annual Open House, where it exhibits and adjudicates senior art work throughout several of the arts buildings.  I had four projects on display during the show, including two printmaking projects, one large installation, and two paintings.

Wicked.

Mo Money, Mo Problems.

This is my final relief print for the semester.

"Mo Money, Mo Problems"
3 Layer woodcut, over one layer of screen printed text.
14 x 18 inches.
7 Editions.

I think the title does an excellent job of explaining the concept of this print; society is crippled by its monetary dependence.  Yay capitalism!

Up close.

A Blast From The Past

After realizing I neglected to post any of my art from highschool, I've decided to put it all in one nice post. Thanks to a brilliant art teacher these were the pieces that gave me the confidence to continue my studies in the fine arts. I'll start with my oil paintings.

"Monetary Confinement"
Oil on Canvas
30 x 36 inches

"Devan and Me"

The next three I feel the pictures just dont do the art justice, but when I get a hold of an excellent camera, I will totally replace the pictures on this post. They are my pencil portraits.

"Noodles"
