Kissing Ghosts

Done 2009 after a particular nasty break-up.

#2 pencil, Prismacolor pencils

(Accompanying Poem):

I guess she's your treasure now,
the thought whispers through my mind.
Emotion floods, hate and sorrow
In equal amounts.

I don't quite have the will
to confront it-
just more lines to say.
Hollow words on an empty stage.

The part I have to play
Is well known
And easy to slip into.
You don't realize I know.

Imagination and memory
Trickle, and then cascade into my mind.
What could. Should. Would have happened.
If only I had-?

The image fades with the understanding,
And I'm left,
alone,
Kissing ghosts in the rain.

Benjamin Linus: Shades of Gray

This sketch I did last summer as I watched insane amounts of Lost (which I still do). I love the character of Ben, hence, this.

#2 Pencil

And the original: (minus the lettering...which actually kinda works)

Concerning Flight

2009, Acrylic

3 Piece Panel (updated 2.22.10)

For a while I've wanted to do a 3-piece called "The Incident" (Yes, it was a real incident. No, I'm not going into more detail.) I did the first two sketches and started painting the first. Here they are-up when finished as well.

#1: "Trust"

#2: "Betrayal"
Painting of "Trust":

Pencil and Acrylic. Inscription reads:
"The nicest man I ever met/ was more malicious than malcontent"
from the song 'Capital M-E' by Taking Back Sunday

Painting of 'Betrayal'

Pencil and Acrylic. Inscription reads:
"So give me reason/ to prove me wrong/ to wash this memory clean/ let the floods cross/ the distance in your eyes/ across this new divide"
from 'New Divide' by Linkin Park (the video's pretty cool, by the way)

Janeway (<3)

More caricature than portrait. She's awesome. #2 pencil.

Girl

Practice for painting detailed human form. Acrylic.

Tunnel

Acrylic.
