MS Paint Self-portrait, January 2026
I started this nearly four months ago. Had been meaning to complete it, but life and whatnot. Anyway, when I came back to this today I tried to focus more on the shadow… once I cleaned up the lines a … Continue reading

Framing the Face
This is another reference photo that turned out well enough to share. I was thinking about trying to get form in what I hoped would be an interesting way, and I think I did, but this one I’m not much … Continue reading

To the Shoulder
Just another reference photo. I’m not sure what I like about this one. It’s just kind of interesting. Not good; just interesting. This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. The next one is hosted by Margaret … Continue reading

Music Out of View
This photo.. I don’t know why I processed it, but evidently I did and it looks not great, to be honest. I do like how vague it is. There’s something there, but it could almost be anything. Almost. I hope … Continue reading

A Stare
I think this photo is both intense and and not at all. It’s a reference photo that turned out well in terms of expressiveness, but it also feels really self-indulgent. I hope you enjoy.

Little Piece of Cloth
I was trying to do a scramble of writing two thousand words in under twenty minutes and this came from it. I was slowing down a bit, then picked back up, but (even though this is an absolute mess), once … Continue reading
Shadowed Sight
Another practise photo that turned out well. At least, I think it turned out well. You could probably argue that this image speaks to a loss of sense of identity we might try to protect ourselves from. A loss of … Continue reading
