Pattern, Mark Making, and Lighting

Well, I’m slowly getting back to it.  

I’ve decided to focus on pattern/mark making and work with lighting/shadow. Below are some tiny sketches I’m simply experimenting with at the moment. I’m hunting a shop that sells dried/collected insects, so that I can get a direct look at them. I really love the reflective detail in their shells and appendages. They are so complex and yet so fragile. 

Pushing and pulling the space with better craftsmanship, but somehow with more freedom is my direction.
