Hopes and Dreams Series
I began the Hopes and Dreams Series collection in the summer of '07 by publishing the "Maybe So" composition. Since each piece takes between 60 and 100 hours of freehand work, I'm planning to wrap up the series by Valentine's Day in '08...aww...isn't that sweet? I'm particularly excited about this new collection because (as you'll see) I'll be introducing colors to accentuate the emotional message behind various compositions. I hope you like how the collection develops!
True Love Series
Like the Interference and USA Series collections, the True Love Series collection consists of six hand drawn pen and ink compositions that explore the impact of love and relationships on personal happiness and fulfillment. Each of these pictures took well over 100 hours to complete and pay tribute to those aspects of love that surface when the honeymoon is over: relationship report cards, relationship killers, the break-up, life after the break-up, head games and second chances.
USA Series
If personal growth happens when we 'break down to break through' then we as a nation must follow suit in order to eradicate the social ills that have plagued this country for decades. Six pen and ink pictures have been hand drawn, scanned, resized and arranged to accomplish the composition purpose. Each picture targets a specific area of concern: greed, voter apathy, cancer, global warming, aggressive non-conformity and cosmetic surgery.
Interference Series
This compilation revisits the advertisement fine print to expose the social, cultural and emotional costs of marketing, distributing and selling technology to any consumer with a credit card. Six pen and ink pictures have been arranged to accomplish the composition purpose. Each picture targets a specific, widespread technology and is accompanied by individual abstracts: cell phones, e-mail, wireless internet, instant messaging, television recording devices and MP3 players. The black and white theme of the composition attempts to capture the cold and unyielding 'on or off' nature of computers - run by sophisticated software executing a seemingly endless loop of 'ones and zeros'.
