Vibrant color will be coming soon. Almost completely black and white for four years and I miss color.

Industrial Humanity
These are the charcoal and graphite renderings of the once lost souls that were given a second chance to become something different. A thought to repurpose the living, whether that be mechanically or surgically. To eliminate depression, sadness, hate...to offer new choices by industrializing humanity.

Many of my drawings are one entity with a very empty type background. This approach stems from a loneliness I have always felt within that separated me from others because of the way I think. Also my influence and admiration of classical sculptures having a rendered being with no background but the one provided by God. My drawing style I feel is pretty basic. Values, proportion, weight, line work, etc, all fueled by my passion for pushing out my ideas. I want the world to see what I see.
