The following are samples from my previous work, aka "not what I'm currently working on." I may add more as I find them.

| "Loneliness" liquid India ink, 2010 |
This drawing was actually my first foray with liquid ink, done in High School. For the project we had to pick different emotions out of a hat and then convey them with ink. I got "loneliness," and spent the entire project with the song "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty running through my head.

| "Lord of the Lake" liquid India ink and watercolor, Western Washington State Fair entry 2016 |
This was a big project (12" x 24") I did completely from my head; a chance to cut loose from too specific realism. Inspiration for the picture came from the song "The Ghost on the Shore" by Lord Huron, but also "Haunted" by Radical Face, if you were curious.

| Liquid India ink and watercolor, 2017 |
I will probably be discussing this picture a little more when I get into the topic of originality (there'll be a hyperlink here) but suffice to say this is one of the few pictures I've done that I was happy with the end result and it is currently hanging in my room.

| "City of Caffeine" liquid India ink and watercolor, Western Washington State Fair entry 2013, sold for $100 |
Funny story, I've actually drawn this picture twice now (once large and once smaller). It's based off a photo my dad gave me that he took in Seattle looking down Pike Street right after a rainstorm. It's a great photo and perfectly suited for ink and both times I was very happy with the final product. Unfortunately, the first drawing ended up getting sold, so I drew it again... and sold it again. Some day I may draw it yet again and this time actually keep it.

| "Toothless" liquid India ink and watercolor, appx. 2012-ish |
Have I ever mentioned that I'm a fan of How to Train Your Dragon? There's nothing wrong with a little fan art to practice your skills (and try out the new masking fluid you just got). And this scene in the movie always gave me chills.
