Charcoal Photo

The process of making a photo look like a charcoal drawing was tedious.  I found myself starting over three or four times. Through a process of masks and layers I turned my photo of a pink rose into what looked like a charcoal drawing titled Black Rose. In Photoshop, I used curves, filters, masks, patterns, brushes and noise.

Low Poly

I used geometric shapes placed side by side to create an image with Illustrator. This type of art is called Low Poly. It may look simple, but it is difficult to align and color into an image.  I call this piece "Daddy" because I took the image from his high school graduation photo.

Picabia Tribute

In my tribute to Francis Picabia, I explored shapes of flowers and changed the texture of some. Traditional geometric shapes didn't appeal to me, but I loved his use of eyes.

Lines and Not Lines

This drawing which I have titled Petty is one in which I experimented with lines in Illustrator and Photoshop. I called this Lines and Not Lines because of the use of dots. Lines are continuous marks where as dots are just points. I traced an original photo and added the color.  I believe this is a fresh vibe and makes life a cartoon. It makes me laugh.
