Paintings
Here are random images and experiments in color, content, medium, and style. There are many samples of the work I was doing in between my college graduation and my entrance into atelier, although some of these were done even after that. I am heavily inspired by the low brow art movement and the work of street artists. These paintings are more graphic and playful.
