20x20 acrylic, charcoal, oil pastel on canvas
I traveled across the southern United States with Gabriel after graduating from college: it was my first time experiencing America outside of California (and a tiny part of Nevada).
Through those two weeks, thoughts, imaginings and fantasies lay before me suspended over the actuality of the country I was born into, and the life I might choose to live. Some of those notions crystallized, some were shattered. And Gabe was a much appreciated companion through it all.
Here is a portrait of my friend Adam, who makes beautiful, devastatingly intricate artwork and is fluent in Japanese. He is a great inspiration to me, also known as a muse in it's most classic definition. This portrait is 14x20 and is oil pastel, acrylic and gesso on canvas.
