New Work! Been on an experimental kick. Let your imagination wander and the ink flow. Sometimes its scary looking at a blank page even if you know what you want to create. Sometimes Its fun to let your mind wander and let to let the ink flow.

For this painting experiment I wanted to make some kind of portrait, so I started by using ink washes to create some lines and forms to make the shape of a head.

Experimenting with some color.

Fun thing about color, it can sometimes get out of hand. I was messing around with the background and I just hated everything about it so I decided to cut out the silhouette of my strange creation. You can see the shadow it creates on the paper I photographed it on. I think the shadow it creates is kinda cool.
