Three charcoal figure drawings dated 2012, two women and one man.
Two paintings. One is a nun wearing a habit with white clown makeup and red circles on her cheeks. A second painting is a figure in motion, which almost looks like three people blurred together.
Art School, Art Center College of Design.
A photo realistic painting in low light of a woman sitting on a bed with a floral bedspread, her shadow stretching out behind her.
An illustration of the back of a figure whose face seems to be inserted into a multi layered image like they are entering a picture frame with four layers of work. White text over the image reads Then I don't exist here either.
Illustration Career.
An illustration in warm reds and creams of a singular figure holding books walking past a tall campus building with the doors closed. Red leaves scatter the sidewalk and the image is framed by autumn trees and foliage.
The illustration next to the article with the headline, Thanksgiving Break in and Empty Dorm.
An illustration of a white woman with long blonde hair, her hands handcuffed behind her in the backseat of a car with the door open. The open door is repeated five times as if it's a car within a car repeated. This gives the piece depth as it appears the woman is farther away since the car doors increase in size as they reach the corner of the illustration.
A painting of a figure with a red scale-like arm leaning their human face onto Princess Mononoke's shoulder, buried in fur. They are surrounded by plants in dark greens and purples.
A painting that at the bottom is a figure's shoulders and neck, upon which are stacked a series of red diamonds with different scenes.
In a black frame on a white wall with other pieces of art.
A more life-like black and white pencil drawing of Princess Mononoke with face paint and a fur head dress.
An illustration of a woman with blonde hair pulled back in a short tufted ponytail. A symbol is drawn on her forehead between her parted bangs. Behind her, flames rise as a group of young women look to a man with long hair and sunglasses.
The illustration on the right page of a magazine, the title and article on the previous page, Her Darkest Role.
An illustration of the back of a woman standing in a white space just outside a large circle staring in. The center is dark with light dots like stars and the edges are dark yellow and orange that pull inward in wide, uneven strokes.
A highlighted document titled The Attractions of Hell by David Bentley Hart.
Six black and white illustrations. Two are variations of a circle almost like a halo above a person with palms together in prayer. Another is just the hands encircled by a long chain, two more show the praying hands in front of a person's face, a rosary draped through the fingers, and another shows the back of the woman looking into the abyss.
Two more refined versions of the woman and the circle. The image on the right has clouds around the circle versus the stark bright white of the other image.
A dark, shadowy figure outstretches an arm as pills of all colors rain down over it. The faceless head is turned toward the open hand. Thin vertical lines give the impression of motion like a hard rain. The head, shoulders, arm, and hand are covered in pills.
The back of a figure with short hair wearing a floral shirt surrounded by trees. A large red circle covers the head and shoulders tinting that area red over the painting.
A Black woman leans her face down into her palms, two more hands cup the sides of her head.
Long, straight white hair falls over the shoulders of a sweater with no face or head.
An illustration in green and white of a man paddling a small boat, a woman and child stand and hold hands at the front, wind blows her long white skirt and dark hair. Ahead of them, a wall of water
A portrait of a woman in dark greys and blues. Her eyes focused to the side, her eyebrows knit close together toward a wrinkle above her nose. Behind her, water streams down a pane of glass. Four more figures scowl behind her as if looking through a window.
Black and white line drawings. Two are similar with the portrait of the woman. The fourth is four figures with space separating them.
Email dated Thursday reads, Hi Leonardo, hoping that you are well. Might you be free to do an illustration for us for a review being written for a filmed called Parasite? It is evidently an amazing film. I can send links. The format would be horizontal rectangle width of 4.54" height 2.91. We'd like sketches asap and final for Monday. Our budget is $750. Can this possibly work for you?
A close portrait of the upper portion of a face in peach, yellow and orange made with sweeping, overlapping brush strokes. One side is smooth metallic grey with a red robotic eye.
A black and white version. Another sketch shows the head resting on the ground, almost skull like, flowers growing around it.
Dozens of black brush strokes in different lengths and widths.
The finished work open in the program with a tool bar open.
A painting of a man and woman standing back to back, space between them. Only one side of her face is visible, the man's face is not in view.
In another version, the two are several feet apart, he is mid step as if walking away. In the third, one figure is curled on the ground at the feet of the other.
Over a black background, an image of the woman with her hands to her temples in four positions, first upright, then bending forward lower and lower. In front of her, a muscular mail dancer bends all the way forward, his head down to the ground, is arms pushed back behind him in a wide V. Bright light shines down from above like stage lighting.
Red and orange flames rise from a building under a dark starry sky. Two large street lamps shine onto the front of the building.
A time lapse of the work starting as a line drawing and layering in the light and color.
Just the nose, open mouth with teeth and red lips, and chin are visible above a choppy water line, below swim several whales.
Several running forest animals made from a series of blurred vertical lines in white and blue. A bear, wolf, rabbit, and others.
The two previously shown illustrations on a mobile phone above a pause button.
An illustration from above of a man with a prosthetic arm riding a bicycle. Next to him is a shadow of another rider who looks back at him.
A blurry hospital hallway with an open door with sharp focus on a patient inside the room sitting in a bed wearing an oxygen mask.
Standing at the edge of a swirling whirlpool, a man holds onto a woman's arm with both hands as she reaches out ahead of her. The water is dark blue and black with light highlights and their reflections are visible in the water.
The printed artwork above the article with the quote, It does not feel like we are mourning together.
A fiery red and orange meteorite impacting the ground. Around it, smaller bright lights with tails zip through the air.
Text over the artwork, which now moves. What did extinction feel like? The right question changes everything.
