My Submission to the "Black is NOT a Colour" art show.  I'll be attending the open house, so feel free to stop by and say hey.  While you're there you can check out the plethora of fantastic work that will be on display!

About the piece:

I'd been itching to do some work in traditional media, so I took this as an opportunity to push myself into some not so familiar territory.  I decided to break out the ink and brushes, and used a combination of ink, ink wash, and watercolour to paint this.  I'm not the most confident with a brush, but it definitely feels incredibly satisfying to push some ink around with them.  It looks pretty damn awesome in a frame with some sexy matting around it though!   I'll try and get a higher res scan up at some point.  I apologize for the terribly lit photo.
