These pieces of work were done during my freshman year before transferring to Maine College of Art. All of them were mostly done with ink or sharpie and are the regular 8x11 paper size.

This piece is a portrait of my great grandfather. The project was to create a portrait with ink without using a paint brush. I used a small tree branch, a few leaves, and a q-tip.

This still life was to draw with my least dominant hand, which is my left hand.

The next 6 images are of animals that were created by letters that we were given. These were made

The cat was created out of the words in dog.

The deer from truck

The wolf from sheep

The monkey from man

I can't remember what words were to make the mouse and bird.

This piece is a collage to create a part of a nursery rhyme out of ding bats. My line was "Jack and Jill ran up the hill to catch a pail of water."

These last six pieces were part of a project that we had to dipict something white using only the color black. We had choices like a Polar Bear, flour, ghost, and the list went on. I chose to depict ghosts and we had to create three different illustrations, so I created a male, female, and canine ghost and I wanted to make sure that they were scary and not the typical cute ghosts. However, since it was almost Halloween my professor let us create three more based on Halloween, so I did a vampire, werewolf, and someone from an asylum.
