Body Paint

If you ever want to literally feel what it's like to loose your identity, paint yourself white. It's an experience. This assignment was inspired by the amazing Alexa Meade.

Golden Hour

Some new black and white's from the past few weeks

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

on top of the world

the horizon is eternal

I've always said I'm going to sail around the world one day, a dream to most people and a dream to me as well, however I'm determined to turn this dream into a reality.

I'm reading The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier. One of my many inspirations. A story about a man with nothing but his boat, his mind, and the sea, finding himself and denying society.

"You do not ask a tame seagull why it needs to disappear from time to time toward the open sea. It goes, that's all."




"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea."

Artist Series: Taylor Dodgin

Ah Taylor. This girl is crazy creative, her work is beautifully detailed and mindful. She seems to specialize in colored pencils and pastels, her paintings are amazing as well. She's currently in Design School at NC State studying studio art and I'm sure she's learning and creating all kinds of new and amazing things.

The Artist Series

I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of extremely creative and talented friends, and I've decided to dedicate the next handful of posts to them displaying they're work individually. I hope you all enjoy.

Addicted to Color

Joshua Petker. I discovered this artist not to long ago online and his work influenced me to start painting people. I love the color he uses and the sharpness and detail of the eyes and lips. Definitely my style of work.

Never before seen?

Haven't posted in a while, been working on college stuff [essays, portfolios, etc...] and painting a lot. Here's a couple pics I've dug up in my archives. I'll try to post a few of my paintings soon.
