Ink, marker, white pencil and white pen on Strathmore mixed media toned grey paper

In July of 2022, Brianna Grier died falling out of a moving police car while having a mental health breakdown. Since Brianna passed, I have been heartbroken for her twins and family but also reflecting on my struggle with mental health. Mental health needs compassion and empathy, not police and punishment. The brunch strokes are purposeful, but I completed them with empathy in mind. I want to keep the composition simple but filled with meaning. The color theme represents vastness and loneliness, but also kinetic energy found in warm orange tones.

Jamming with friends.... :)

Those eyes

mixed media

Don't you love those old school neon type of stickers, as well as slushies/slurpees?

I like to carry around a tiny sketchbook. Something to jot down ideas, or scribble out a concept, with little worry about the technical application.

Scratchboard 5x7 in.
