Created this painting inspired by a photo my friend took of myrtle flowers. I used markers on paper, which was tricky because the inks spread easily. They ended up looking a bit more like camellias than myrtle, but I still like how it turned out!

Here’s one of the photos I took with my phone at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015, my favorite place to visit in town. It turned out rather interesting, so I’d like to share it.

You may not be the type to hit the dance floor, but here’s a great link shared by mmr in the post below👇 on House Music — born in Chicago’s underground scene shaped by Black and queer communities. The video is in English and well worth watching.
Here’s my photo (ca 2017) of the iconic street sign.

Happy Autumn Equinox!


I recently watched the two most recent movies in the Alien series👽🛸🚀, which reminded me of a piece I created several years ago in an art class. I think this one has a bit of a Prometheus vibe, but with autumn colors 🍁🍂🌰.

Here’s my drawing with color brush pens of an angry lake I saw from the Lakefront Trail in Chicago. I didn’t know a lake could look so angry until that day. Your photos really capture that feeling—impressive shots!

Created based on a photo I took at the entrance of the Art Institute of Chicago about a year before the Cubs won the 2016 World Series. ⚾️🧢🏆 Euphoria swept through the city when the infamous Billy Goat 🐐curse was finally broken.

Thought I’d share a different take on the same still life—because why not?
