The Sketchbook Project

I mostly started with the idea of moments in time, so I tried to capture some things in motion. From there I did basic sketches that I then either painted, sharpied, or colored in with color pencils. This whole experience really helped me since I was faced with five really bad rejection letters during the process, and this helped me from falling to far into a depressive state. It is also why there is mostly black being used with pops of color, as well as some that are vivid with color. I hate to say it but my depression is what motivates me as an artist, since that is when I create the most art. When depression rears its ugly head, instead of letting it consume me I create something to counter it. I am very interested in space, and I am actually a scientist first so my interest in space and things related to space does show up a lot in my work.
