3D SculpturesqueCan't think of a better title for this, yet, but this is basically situations where media is used that makes the piece quite a bit more than 2D. It makes it hard to scan, really, is the key point!

Contour LinesThis technique is marked by sequential lines that radiate from a central point or expand upon a previous line. They are similar to the contour lines that represent relief in topographic maps.
Media Used:
Ink pen, graphite pencil and/or marker

Cut-OutsThis technique was developed by my friend, Travis Armbrust. It is similar to the child craft of creating paper snowflakes or chains of people by cutting folded pieces of paper. He took it another step by overlaying multiple pieces and mounting them to create more complex compositions. These are my attempts at his concept.
Media Used:
Various types of paper, cut into designs and mounted

Light BoxThese pieces begin as black and white prints of real-life images or stills from movies. Tracings of the images are created using a light box with the different values of gray being assigned values from 1-5. It essentially becomes a color-by-number picture at that point.
Media Used:
Various/Mixed

Line WorkThese pieces contain intricate line work of some sort. Some of the pieces are entirely comprised of line work, while some only have particular areas that feature it.
Media Used:
Ink pen, graphite pencil and/or marker

Mandalas/KaleidoscopesThis technique manipulates original artwork in Photoshop. The parent images are chopped-up and mirrored to create repeating and revolving patterns with the absolute precision that computers allow. The kaleidoscopes are mostly simple, 4-way compositions, while the mandalas may contain numerous chops, flips and mirroring steps.
Media Used:
Various/mixed original compositions scanned into a computer and manipulated with Photoshop

Selection StudyThis technique begins with random lines. The random lines form a chaotic mass of scribbling. Some of the areas created by the intersecting lines are filled-in with color. Form and order are created from the initial random chaos. I consider this my signature technique.

Sharpie BlockingThis technique/style is marked by thick blocks and segments of color created with Sharpie markers which are then commonly outlined and bordered in black. This technique is often used in conjunction with the selection study technique.
Media Used:
Sharpie markers
