I became interested in sketching around fifth grade because I was really into comic book art.

And my favorite series was "DC's Batman", because of their stylistic approach to their comics.

I really enjoy doing blohsh paintings because there's many different techniques that you can use with them, and I think it really gives it a unique and cool look.

This piece is based off of an assignment I had to do in art class, where I had to create the illusion of erasing myself with graphite and colored pencils.

And the background is based off of the Sandworm from my favorite Tim Burton film, "Beetlejuice."

I plan on attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania for art education, with a focus on illustration that hopefully I can mold the minds of future artists to come.
