Ceiling Mural II

These are some pictures from the collaborative ceiling mural I was apart of creating. This was my best friends room who actually just moved. Needless to say this mural probably won't ever be completed now. However, it was so much fun starting this project with my friends. I love getting people who don't consider themselves "artist" to create or paint. More times than not, they surprise themselves with what they can visually produce. I've always said I believe everyones a little bit of an artist. 





Traveling Artist

I've always enjoyed traveling and experiencing different parts of the world. It seems, even more than ever now, that I'm always in transit. I'm continuously trying to remain creative through the sometimes stagnant aesthetic of the NJtransit train and MTA subway system. As a personal goal, I try to always sketch something every time I'm on the train or subway. Below are a couple of the drawings I've done in pen while in transit. 



Sketchbook Painting II

Below is a painting I did in my sketchbook using acrylic paint and ink pen. When I first scanned the picture, it came out black and white by mistake. However, I actually like it better  than colored version. 


Visual Diary II

During my internet hiatus one of my main creative focuses was a new series I titled "Visual Diary". This body of work is important to me because it feels most the therapeutic out of any of my visual expressions. I've posted the full continuing series on artbyaustin.carbonmade.com but below are two illustrations from the collection. 


Back on the Blog

Hello Internet World, long time no see! A lot has happened these past few months but I'm happy to say I was able to create through it all. I'm ready now to show you what I've been up to as well as sharing my upcoming creative ventures with you. Above is a self portrait I did in  pen while laying in front of a mirror.
