This is the final #printmaking assignment I made at school this semester. This still life is based on how my #cooking skills have changed over the last few years. The #food and #condiments here are what I've mostly used to improve my cooking skills.

This is one of my #printmaking assignments I made at school. I was allowed to work on whatever I wanted. I took an old sketch and expanded upon it. Since #apples come in different colors, I also experimented with different #colors and gradients.

This is the first time I've used #etching as a #printmaking technique. I also used about 3-4 different types of paper to see how it would look.

Yes, I'm aware of the scratch marks on each piece. I tried my best to remove them.

I took a #ceramics class this semester. The last time I worked with #pottery (and #clay in general) was in high school. I wanted to gain more experience working with it. These here aren't all of them, but they're the ones I'm really proud of.

This is a #printmaking assignment I made this semester. The purpose of this project is about #patterns, and this is what I made. This is my first project, but I'm posting it in time for #Halloween.

While I was at Baltimore Comic-Con, I also had the honor of meeting Michael Biehn. Not only did I get this selfie with him, but I also got to speak with him for a bit. I also made a #painting of #KyleReese from #TheTerminator and gave it to him as a gift. He loved it. 😁

I know I'm late, but I'm posting #photos of my time at Baltimore Comic-Con. I got to meet #GiancarloEsposito. I got this #selfie and got to speak with him. I made this #painting of #MoffGideon and #Grogu, then gave it to him as a gift. He loved it so much I got an autographed #print for free.

This is part of a #printmaking assignment I'm working on. I wanted to see how the #pomegranate itself looked. I ended up loving this more than I thought.

This is the second time I painted #grogu. He's part of an in-progress #painting I'm working on.

I was asked by someone on TikTok to #draw Urek Mazino.

This is a #painting that one of my coworkers commissioned me to create for her. My goal was to complete this before I start classes, and I achieved it.

After I drew Simon the Digger, someone else on TikTok asked me to #draw Kamina. There's no way I'd forget the 🐐

This is the third time I've had an urge to #paint a random object near the front windows at my job.

Here's a #commission I recently finished. I was asked by one of my coworkers to design this #logo for the summer camp program she's involved with. I had a lot of fun making this. I also printed this out for her. She loved it.

I seem to keep finding random things laying near the front windows at my job. This is the second time I was motivated to #paint them. This time it's a #nail painted with #watercolor.
