King Lear staff

This is a design for a staff for a production of King Lear. An assignment for Basic Stagecraft two years ago.

Some sketches

Based off a dress on display at our community college

This will be my last character collage for a long time. I'm majoring in English Literature at UCF, which means that I won't have a lot of time for anything but books and words. I wish I had started on it sooner, but instead I drew these sketches of my characters this morning and pieced this together. Some of the text is blacked out in the copy for spoiler reasons.

"The Tempest"

Here's the original collage I did for class. We were instructed to create a piece of "fragmented art" and then draw it onto a larger piece of paper. The end result is not to scale since the original college is on an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper and the large version is two inches wider:

A sort of self-portrait. It was damaged near the t in "mohabbat" by a hole the size of a finger...

"Bast and servants on papyrus"

A gift for my dad one year for Christmas.

"Bottle study - pastels"

Class projects - high school

Beginnings of a hand study.

Part of my Drawing I final. Never got to finish completely. We were only given 30 minutes to conceive and draw.

Hand and feet study.

Halloween skeleton. After this, I wasn't a big fan of drawing bones.
