Thank you trusty dusty ink pen! : )

Not ()NLY MUSiC WaRMs TH3 H3ARt ...


This is a piece I have done, inspired by the image below. I used the media of Koi watercolor on watercolor paper & my inky clickie pen. This is a drawing of a girl in a Starbucks on campus.
This is my inspiration piece done by a french illustrator, who lives in Barcelona by the name of Lapin. I chose this piece because it isn't particularly my style. I love this because of the bold black calligraphy against the subtle cream lined paper. But what really captured me was his clever use of gray to create a scene in the background. This is not only brilliant but it adds to the softness of the background and it doesn't take away from his star character.

LiGHT H3ARTED...



This was inspired by a friend by the name of Aimee Bento. ((her work is AWESOME by the way!)) ... this feather was strictly created by memory. I'm trying to improve my "drawing from imagination skills." ... it took a while to do (( done it in my trusty dusty inky pen)) but i think it turned out absolutely gorgeous.

I titled this one light hearted for play on words.. but mainly because I "kinda" made the eye of the feather look like a heart. Cute right??

this is a project I worked on...

C()FF3E CARNiVAL..


My piece, which was inspired by the painting below. This is the starbucks on the UNCG campus.

I must start out by saying that I am in LOVE with this piece. I think it is amazing! > my all time favorite so far. This piece is by an architect living in the Netherlands by the name of Rene Fijten. His use of color to accent the people against the neutral colors of the buildings in the background is creative and very expressive. I love the contrast and the use of vibrant colors to give personality to the people at the carnival. Its amazing how you can give the back of a person, character with just a paint brush and some color! check out some of Fijten's other works at:
