Artist's Comments

This is an early color piece done for a friend’s graduation. I enjoyed the structure of the architecture in this piece. There are details in the hands and feet that seem to have bled out because of the lighting, but I took 5 pics in different lighting and this one came out best.

All of the paper is Canson, with the exception of the paper used for the sky, which was a great handmade paper I was lucky to find.

Thanks. The detail is a little deceiving as much of the piece is created by flat, layered planes.

oh, so is that how those lines are achieved? layering? as in cutting into the paper? i always wondered. the effect looks rather difficult to achieve anyhow, but your work is enchanting.

Excellent - another one of your earlier pieces!

The building corner on which Grendel is sitting is great. I like the depth you were able to achieve with the scoring on the underside.

I like your take on the cityscape. The contrast of lines to the amount of windows is nicely balanced.

His hands around his staff looks very natural (don't laugh - I'm being serious!).

And I love the cuts on his torso - they suggest just the right amount of movement and flexing for someone sitting in that position.

You made a great find with the handmade paper for the sky. There's something foreboding about it that I really like.

Thanks! Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Each building in this piece is on a different layer. The black buildings in the background is one layer, then rest of the buildings are built on top of that initial layer, but separated with either 4 ply museum board or foam core. I did something similar with the gargoyle on which Grendel is sitting. The lines in the building and the holes are cuts and in the case of the building on the left, embossed in with a stylus.
