Character - Life After Death

This is a character I created on Adobe Illustrator using only the shape and line tools. I got the idea for the character from tattoos of skulls and roses. To me it symbolizes death as depicted by the skull and life or rebirth as depicted by the flowers.

Egon Schiele in Abstract

This is an oil painting from Austrian painter Egon Schiele entitled "The Poet". I did my own abstract rendition of the painting using Adobe Illustrator.

Artist a Day - Sarah Esteje

I was browsing through the "artist a day" website archive and Sarah Esteje's work captivated me. Her 'Octopus' piece caught my attention because I love how the octopus's tentacles are free flowing and look like they have movement to them. I also have an affinity with things associated with the ocean. Esteje uses ball point pens to create her drawings. It's rare to see an artist use ball point pen as their medium, so that really makes Esteje stand out. Not to mention, I really like that she chose to use blue ink. It gives her art a very calming effect.
