5.5 x 8.5
Made with dual tip brush pens on mixed media paper

Like that of Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg, this was an attempt I made at making a pop art piece; i.e. using “stuff” as subject matter and making it extraordinary.

I am not exactly sure what to call this, but I drew a teapot with some matching teacups surrounding it. I have this fascination with teapots - likely because of their shape, structure, and different designs they come in! 🫖

If you have an idea for a title, please let me know in the comments!

Another whale eye drawing - this is the eye of a bowhead whale. I found this one interesting due to its shades of red within the iris.

Made with mixed media. 🐳👁️

“The Neon Tree”
5.5 x 8.5
Mixed media

Final artwork of 2025! A black leafless tree with freeform branches and silver lining. Splitting the backdrop of the tree in half, I used a warm color scheme for the left side and a cool color scheme for the right side. Thus, creating some complimentary contrast. Materials used include black marker, dual-tip brush pens, and silver colored pencil.

Happy New Year! Hoping to continue with a new batch of artworks in 2026!

“Mummies - Movements I - IV”
5.5 x 5.7 each
Dual-tip brush pens and black marker

This movement of artworks I made is rather obscure and unusual for my standard style, but I wanted to try something different - something mysterious and macabre.

When I was 14, my father took me to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to see the mummy exhibit. Despite my apprehension in the beginning, I ended up finding it strangely fascinating. The mummies on display came from beyond Egypt - in fact they came from almost every continent. When looking up images for these pieces, I ended up reuniting with some of the mummies I had seen at the museum - most of them originating in South America. Included are the following individual movements:

- Movement I: Adult Female
- Movement II: Adult Male
- Movement III: Child
- Movement IV: Baboon

If you like them, be sure to tell me which one is your favorite of the four!
