As a child, I loved the "Where's Waldo?" books. Searching through all the lines and colors to find the striped red-and-white shirt with that awful beanie and the thick glasses was one of my favorite things to do. With the following two pieces, I've listed some of the textures used to create them. My intention is to create art that engages the observer. Art that requires further inspection. Art that you can search through.
Instead of Waldo, you will find manhole covers, vents, bird droppings, oil splatter, wood grain, brick, concrete, and a number of other ugly and mundane textures that combine to make something that is both unique and beautiful. Enjoy!
