Ink and acrylic on paper
14" x 22"

My senior project explores the many different nature symbols that people from cultures all over the world used to represent universal themes such as death, power, and wisdom. I was interested to discover just how important a role nature played in the mythologies, folklores, and traditions of these various cultures. As I researched the symbols I was fascinated by how the seemingly arbitrary plants and animals came to be associated with certain ideas in always interesting and sometimes surprising ways.

All pieces are framed and were done in ink and acrylic on paper (with deckled edges). They're going to be part of a ten-person show in June at Gallery 1988 SF. Can't wait!

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-08-05
"A wonderful & stunning painting with quite the cool, unique, & inspired concept behind it, as well as a lovely & wild style full of energy, a perfect mixture of macabre imagery & light quirkiness, a perfect use of faded colors & textures, & several awesome details from the Dia de los Muertos skull to the twisted bouquet pushing everything but daisies..." Death, or a Murder of Crows by ~juliancallos The whole series is finely executed, go see for yourselves! ( Suggested by *SlyDante and Featured by `stigmatattoo )

I'm extremely happy to stumble upon this because I wanted to know who the artist was behind this piece. I actually have a Tshirt that has this printed on it that I found.

My sister has had this as her desktop wallpaper for a year and I could never figure out who did it. I love it.
