I'm an artist living and working in Atlanta, GA. When I was a little boy I looked up at the sky and saw all of these different shapes. It was a clear blue sky so the shapes weren't clouds, but lines. Ever since that day I see lines and shapes everywhere I look. The lines flow, bend, turn, and come back into one another. This is how I see the world around me and inside of my mind. I follow the lines where ever they are going to take me. I want to take traditional subject matter and compositions, but paint them in a completely non-traditional style. I work mainly in acrylic on tile board with oil based paint markers. I draw and painting subject metter from landscapes to figures, to abstract shapes.

This blog is a merging point for all of my creative endevours, opinions, and thoughts in general.

Lines from the ground: The Drawings Part 1

Today I'm posting part 1 of the series of drawings I've created for my tree painting series: Lines from the ground. I talked about this tree series last week and introduced the concept behind the paintings. Below you'll find the first six drawings that I've choosen to paint. Some of these drawings are more complete than others. For some of the pieces, I don't complete the drawing before the painting starts. I like to leave some of the lines undone and incomplete, this way I can finish them freehand once they're re-traced into the painted tile board.

I really love these drawings! The lines are great and I like the feel that you never picked your pen up and they erupted all at once. The figures emerging out of some of them are really interesting and I love the sharp angles and emotion you are able to get with just using hard lines.
