Visual Art – Austin

Well, I'm an aquarius; I like bendy straws, a sky full of stars, and the hamster dance song. I've never had much luck sitting still, and when I see a blank surface I just want to scribble all over it. The mosaic drawings came from a complete lack of grouting ability but the love of mosaics from all cultures. Right now though I'm experimenting with large-scale mosaic stencils that I can spray paint on a wall, floor, etc. (In a completely legal and conforming way, of course.) The swirl designs, which I've named "tribal paisley," always end up taking on a life of their own. A lot of them are tattoo designs and it's fun to work words or someone's name into the swirls for a subtle, unique touch. Basically, I couldn't stop drawing if I tried. I love the opportunity to be creative in any and every way possible, and I super love meeting other like-minded weirdos - I mean artists - and being able to appreciate their own styles and creativity.
