Mother and Baby
image
I often wonder about motherhood and what it means to care for another human being. Like much of my artwork, the style in this drawing was influenced by nouveau (such as the work of Alphonse Mucha) and vintage poster art. I saw an advertisement in a greeting card book that used the colors pistachio and brown and wanted to recreate that color scheme in this drawing. I don't know why I colored the woman's hair purple- it seemed like a nice enough color so I went with it. I also decided to use some pastel colors to give the mother and baby a soft visual appearance. The lettering is a result of my exploration with lines and letting them tell me where they want to go.
Gender
image
I think about gender many times. I think about what it means to be a man or a woman, whether it's ingrained or a choice, whether there's only two genders or several, etc. In this artwork, I tried to create a person that was half man, half woman. When I was working on this drawing, I was also looking over books about lettering and calligraphy and so was inspired to create my own kind of style of lettering. As with much of my art, the style seen here was inspired by Nouveau and vintage poster art. I used purple for the letters and backdrop for it vibrancy and its' significance in the gay community. To achieve a smooth appearance, I used Copic markers and brown pens.
