Charcoal can also create a terribly moody effect. Sometimes I revel in the moody.

These two drawings come from a more difficult time in my life. They are somewhat autobiographical–primarily in the emotion portrayed.

I find it interesting that I can produce such vibrant, colorful works, yet also see raw emotions come from the same hand.
