Word Association Flash

Last year I made an unofficial new years resolution to try and come up with a unique Flash Sheet every week for the year. The idea was to come up with a full page of designs referencing a single word or idea. Although I definitely fell short of the full year mark, I did manage to keep the project alive 20 solid weeks before I got sidetracked and started working on other things instead. I'm really happy with the results and had a lot of fun incorporating more pencil shading into the pieces as I got more into the series.

Ayutthaya Chedi - Pen & Ink (2015)

After college I spent two years living abroad in Thailand. I continued working on the same pen & ink techniques I focused on through college but also started practicing a lot more with pencil (especially with pencil shading). And, although I continued doing quite a few stand-alone compositions as I was accustomed to from the project/assignment based nature of college, I also started focusing a little more on multi-piece series and concepts.

Rattle Tattoo Flash Studies - 2015

After about a year in Thailand, I got connected with Rattle Tattoo; a small tattoo shop set up at a Bangkok night market. They taught me a little about tattooing and a lot about pencil drawing in exchange for hanging around the shop to help them keep sharp on their conversational English. Nick, Fang, and Beam had me practicing in pencil a majority of the time (most of which would not be worth sharing) but, as you can see, I was still able to spend a good bit of time incorporating my pen & ink hatching style into the flash designs from books and magazines around the shop.
