Clock Project - MMXXI
This clock started as just an idea, and I ended up bringing it to life piece by piece. Over about 30 days, I built everything—design, carving, painting the face—using just a handful of tools (drill, miter saw, band saw, circular saw, and a Dremel).
Digital Drawings
I like doing hand-drawn digital illustrations on my iPad—it’s a quick way to get ideas down without pulling out all the paint. A lot of my paintings actually start here as rough sketches, but these pieces felt finished on their own. They kind of freeze little moments and ideas I didn’t feel the need to turn into full paintings, and they give a glimpse into how my style shifts as I’m working through things.
Charcoal Drawings
Charcoal has this cool texture and contrast you just don’t get with other mediums. It lets me play around with both loose shapes and sharp details, so the drawings feel emotional without being super precise. There’s a freedom and rawness to it that makes each piece come alive.
Other Works
Over the years I’ve made plenty of pieces I’m proud of that never ended up in any of my portfolio books. Some were done before I even started organizing my work into collections, and others just didn’t quite fit the themes I was going for.
