Conceptual Art: Fleeting Time

This conceptual book art explores the notion that time is fleeting. The triptych represents the sacredness of time, while the small plastic arms embrace the viewer through its fragility and preciousness. A timepiece greets the viewer when the triptych is opened.

Artwork: The Soothsayer

Soothsayer

Soothsayer: Initial Drawing

"The Soothsayer" is another macabre creation of pen and digital media. Inspirations for this piece varied from music, Tibetan monks, Day of the Dead and ancestral worship skulls of Africa. I love how old civilizations respect death as part of life, rather than as an unmentionable evil.

Black Dragon

This is the first time I incorporated coffee and tea in my artwork. Since I'm not a coffee drinker, the small coffee grinds in the kitchen were finally of use. Also, I found that Darjeeling tea had a darker color over Lipton.

After a few washes, diluted sumi ink was splattered by tapping on the paintbrush. The dragon was then applied with several pens on the very forgiving clayboard. Overall, the creative process was very fun and satisfying.

Artwork: Whirlwind of Negativity

Whirlwind of Negativity

Inspired by old social/political ink drawings, this emotional piece is about being swept away by external forces (incidents, people, etc) and the negative emotions that come with it: fear, ignorance, hate, jealousy and insecurity.

The piece was created with pen and scanned into the computer. Text was created on a path in Illustrator and subtle coloring/texture was added in Photoshop.
