Hero Worship II
The sequel to 2019's exhibit is simply Hero Worship II. 2023's presentation relied more heavily on pop-culture figures. All works were created with fountain pen and colored digitally. Reception was held February 4, 2023 on the second floor at Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment.
Artist's Statement
The most fascinating thing that I can draw is the human face. Sometimes my portraits are loose and gestural, and other times they are more detailed and refined. I begin with quick pencil sketches, then replicate the work with brush pens and finally color the work digitally.
Many of the portraits are of fictional characters whom I idolized from television or movies while others are real people who inspired me through their own art or vision for a better world.
Fun Note: My portrait of Michael Stipe from R.E.M. was shared on his IG account!
