I like to use my older work and remix into something new; printed an old photo, wrote on it with a correction pen, traced the letters with a gel ink pen.

#ColorADay #BWFri #classicmono #artyear #eastcoastkin #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #analogart

Black and white image of gravestones in an old cemetery. One of the gravestones is falling over, leaning to one side in front of the one next to it. Both are old and faded to the point that no engravings are visible. Grimy streaks run down some of the stones.
Written on the photo in white are the words "Will you come back in the next life? As someone who could love me?" The white letters have been traced imperfectly with black ink.

Original photo was taken at St. Peter's Episcopal in the Bronx.

Abstract painting in muted tones. Red in the center with black surrounding it, and blue surrounding all else. Some layers of textured gray over the black.

The world, though.

[Sticker I made from one of my mini journal pages]

#tagtuesday #streetart #artyear #eastcoastkin #nyc #newyork

Black and white sticker on a pole on a New York City street. The sticker is a collage image from a journal page. The background of this collage is partially painted black, on top of which is an image torn from a magazine which shows the leg of someone sitting down in cuffed jeans and a leather shoe. Words cut from a magazine on the center of this image read: the world, though

#SmARTist #contemporaryart #artyear

An abstract painting on a wood desk. The painting has brushstrokes in tan, red, black, and teal. Written in white on the painting are the words:
You are not broken.
You are not an accident.
You are not a sin.

At some point a couple of years ago, I was recording the tiniest little moments of the tiniest little things that pleased me. Might take that up again. Here is one:

"Enchanted"

#BlueSkyMonday #Artyear #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #traditionalmediums #contemporaryart #sketchbookart #sketchbookpainting

Abstract painting with narrow, visible brushstrokes. Most of the painting is black, with some blue poking out of the black near the bottom, and some darker gray brushstrokes in the center and near the top

"Throat"

#abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #traditionalmediums #acrylicpainting #sketchbookart #sketchbookpainting #analogart #SmARTist #eastcoastkin #artyear

Abstract painting done with acrylic paint. White underpainting with some light black markings. The focal point is a deep crimson red applied with palette knives, partly obscured by gray and black brushstrokes. The painting suggests a feeling of conflict or anxiety
