when we first met

I have butterflies in my stomach...because you make my heart sing.

another in progress

And I have known the eyes already,
known them all-
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall
Then how should i begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?
T.S. Eliot

poster design time

here is my poster design for the Worcester State Theatre's play "Tartuffe."

the hunter and the hunted, composition in blue and brown

the point of this piece was that each 11x11 square could work on its own..but when pieced together could great a bigger piece still composed in a pleasant form of pheasants! and then later rearranged to slightly alter the composition again. there are many more ways of arranging it, here are five.
