My newest sketch for studio, is such. I somewhat presented the basis previously but have further developed it into this compilation of all the floating debris of ideas swirling in my mind. Studio this semester for me has become somewhat of a spiritual experience I am thankful to have finally achieved in illustration. Up until literally this January I have been doubting my switch from fine arts, and I have come to realize it's all what you make of it. Enough dead ends and spinning wheels.'Bout time I feel like I belong somewhere in the art world other than in between in unrecognized dimensions of nonsense...
This piece to me signifies something I have been struggling with for at least the past 3 years within myself. It's something I am constantly searching for. It's a conversation of relationships. How some people can drain you lifeless to benefit themselves. It's an ignorance of compassion and morality.
The houses depict these people and their lifestyles. The trees are the natural connection between them all, stemming and grounding them within the same earth. Their shadows represent the outsourcing of energy; the indulgence and expansion of life flowing from one into the next.
At the moment I feel the idea is bigger than the imagery. But I don't exactly like spelling it all out either. I think this is going to be another series to shake it all out of me.

Well I'm glad you feel you're starting to find your spot. It's definitely exhausting not knowing where you fit in in all the art bullshit, I'm in the same boat. You've got mad skills though, I'm sure you'll be fine. The tree roots or shadows are my favorite part. You're painting it right? Oils? Hope so! I saw the dogs painting in the case today, great!
