Sorrow

This is an attempt at painting my boyfriend, though I've made him quite feminine. Masculinity is difficult for me to capture, but he's a girly looking dude anyway. In this piece he's rather sad, a rare expression on his typically happy and thoughtful face. I used only the color blue to help emphasize this sadness.

Scaly

Pattern piece. I would like to add depth and highlights.

Change of Heart

Metamorphosis piece, 36 colors

Bent

This is the unity piece of my body series. Each vertibre comes together to complete this segment of a spine. They each come from the same inked foam plate and were rearranged as shown above, over a splatter background of gold and a hint of green to contrast the red, blue and purple ink, resembling cells of the body.

Wise

This is my symmetry piece, as the wisdom tooth is placed in the middle. The background is meant to resemble the backgrounds found in my scratch piece, "Itch". The colors stay consistent with the lot of the pieces, being what ties all of the pieces together, aside from the fact that they're all body parts. The tooth on the copper of the piece was drawn on with sharpie and soaked in acid that ate away at the back ground, leaving a goldish-green coloring, another repeating color theme. One reason I chose a tooth for this method is because I'm a coca-cola fiend, and what else eats away at your teeth quite like that stuff?

Itch

This scratch piece is also a textured piece, the gold 'frame' beginning as grainy modeling paste. The gold pops against the purples. I use the blues, reds and purples so much because they remind me of red blood and blue veins, purple is just my favorite color- but also a mix of the other two. This piece also lacks symmetry, but with the larger scratch board being on one side and the smaller two being on the other, it doesn't look so side-heavy.
