Right before I graduated from college, I worked on this particular collage for my best friend, K. To this day, five years later, I still feel that this piece is one of my best collages I have ever made. Every part of it screams her from the M&M to Alucard. I still remember asking her way back what her favorite color was. I always ask this question to the person I am drawing because I use their favorite color as a main backdrop color in the work. Her answer was so K. She said and I quote BLACK. Of course I did not want black as the color since the paper is black so I eventually got her to tell me her second favorite, Red. The rest is history.

Over the last month, I have been working on this new drawing. I can say that this piece is something different for me. From looking at my past work, you can see that this particular drawing focuses on something new which is a guy. I have always drawn figures of women over the years but never men. Something about this photgraph made me want to create the work you now see. This work also incorporates another new thing. I drew him unlike my past pieces in realistic tones and shades. Hope you like. Maybe this will start me working on a new creative path.

While still an art major back at UGA, I took a photography class during my spring semester. This photo is a re-print from the original shot that i took from my homemade camera.

As part of my earliest works, She “Hulk,” has become one of my favorites. I can honestly say that I did not come up with her name but I find it to be fitting. It is not every day you see a girl the color of green unless you are watching something out of Star Trek. Something about the drawing three years later still gets me excited. Maybe it is the glow of the green face or the big hoop earrings. I remember working on this drawing and experimenting with color. To this day, this is the quickest work that I completed from start to finish.

With all my artwork, this is the first and only drawing specifically created for a person. All my other works have been solely for me. When I created her back in 2004, I’ve just completed Moonlight, which shows in the continued use of blue shades in the drawing. I found the construction of the eyes to be a challenge in the work since they represent the most prominent features on the face.

Back in 2000, I was trying to gain entrance into the Graphic Design program at UGA. I have always wanted to do art as a career but knew to choose something that could make me money at the same time. So as a compromise, I thought becoming a graphic designer would be the perfect solution. Every year at UGA, the program has an entrance test since the classes were so small. I decided to create a collage for the exam. During the week long test, assignments are given out. One of the drawings they ask to be completed was creating a picture that conveyed the message “Luck of the Draw.” Unfortanely, I did not know that they did not allow color drawings until I completed the piece. Thus, I did not get into the program and explains how I got into Advertising.
