Here are some older works I just found. I believe these paintings are the first couple of times I used acrylic paint.

This one was the first time I used oil paint. Quite the learning experience. Also you might notice this is the oil version of a previous ink drawing. 

So to change things up a little bit (because I've already included things that weren't solely my own work) I thought it would be cool to show you guys (whoever reads this stuff) something I like to call "mobile collages". Basically I take copy paper as the foundation, and collage together essentially whatever I've collected and then tape them to the copy paper. Now of course you can use whatever size paper, cardboard, or whatever you have around. Afterward I usually use push pins to attach theses mini collages to my walls or cork boards. This was especially helpful for me because I'm someone who collects and keeps anything and everything. So when I had to move into my dorm for college, it was super easy to decorate and then take everything down once school was over. 

here are a few that I just made. as you can see the items on this are so random. they range from movie tickets to pictures, to newspaper cartoons. 

essentially, this is a nice way to display everything you've collected, decorate your walls, but also keep things neat and organized. 

Would you accept these roses?

So I initially created this blog to showcase my own work. After spending a day touring my own city, Austin, TX, I realized these images were to important to not include. 

After walking through this public museum, it was inspiring to see other artist of all ages coming together to create something amazing, and unify a population. This I believe is art's greatest ability. *once again these images are not mine*
