Visual Diary IV

One of the main objectives for my Visual Diary series is to conceptually express the intimate details of my personal life using minimal to no words. However, I want the viewer to interpret the renderings and or words presented in each piece for themselves so that they may create their own unique experience. I believe in collaborating with not only other artists but viewers as well. My goal is to not only make illustrations that reflect my current state of being but to allow other people to draw their own conclusions on what the subject means to them.

Male Figure Studies

Naturally, the human figure has always intrigued me. I've began to pursue that interest and integrate the human form into the subject matter of my artwork. I always prefer drawing from life than an image or photograph. In the past, I've always had female models so recently I've made a conscious effort to challenge myself with studying the male body. If you'd like to inquire or volunteer as a model contact me at austin.tabor989@gmail.com
