Pencil & Pen Work

I am a self-taught visual artist and digital designer with sound-to-color and text-to-color synesthesia. My experience began in the eighth grade and during that year, my online art gallery was one of three that were featured in art classes across Cobb County schools for educational use. I have not taken another class since yet have been determined to maintain my craft and continue progressing over time. Here are samples of my work with pens, markers, and lead/color pencils.

Tek It

(3/12/24)Synesthesia Art

Tek it - Cafuné.mp3

This song by Cafuné sits right in between the keys of A-flat and A-natural, so the hues from both blend together. I even saw colors that I don't normally see, like magenta. The retro/alternative genre of this song also made me think of a roller skater in outer space.

Bubblegum & Marceline

(3/17/24)

This is a re-draw of the characters, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen, from the television series, Adventure Time.

Jordan Lange Portrait

(6/8/17)

This trio of sketches was a Sweet 16 present for a dear high school classmate of mine. They are all connected to a firm structure on the back so that it can hang up in her room.

Bored

(7/5/24)

In college, whenever I was bored or tired, I would lay on my bed like this. The art style here is simple except for the background, which represents idle mind-wandering.

Original Characters

Here are a few original anime magical-girl character designs created just for fun.

Hydruman

(2/24/17)

At first, I didn't really know where I was going with this piece, but the design makes me think of a human who could maybe transform into a hydra.

Jacob Dogias Portrait

(5/20/19)

As a departing gift on my last day of high school, I gave this to my drama teacher, Jacob Dogias.

Abungu’s Light

(6/30/19)

This is one of three mythical art concepts submitted to the Illustrators of the Future Contest.

Mikasa Ackerman

(7/12/16)

Here is a re-draw of the character, Mikasa Ackerman, from the anime series, Attack on Titan.

Free

(12/22/18)

This, as per the title, displays the image of freedom. This was one of five pieces submitted to Yale University.

Maaike of Esna

(5/18/17)

An AP World History project required me to create a 20-panelfictional comic (which I misread as 20 pages XD) over one of the topics we studied over the course of the year. I chose to create a story set in Ancient Egypt. This would later be adapted into an in-progress stage musical concept.

The Taming of the Shrew

(2/12/20)

This comic strip was part of a college literature assignment while studying Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" during my freshman year.

Self Portrait

(1/6/19)

This was one of five pieces submitted to Yale University. One of the requirements was a self-portrait.

Dot Sketch of Younger Self

(12/15/14)

A weekly sketchbook entry guide given during eighth grade required a dot-sketch of any object at home.

Terry Henry Portrait

(12/25/18)

This portrait was a 2019 Christmas gift for my mother and one of five pieces submitted to Yale University.

Joyful

(11/27/16)

The overall concept for this movement study piece is a Black woman who is free, feminine, and unapologetically herself.

Costume Designs

Here are character/costume designs for an original stage musical concept about Ancient Egyptian culture.

Terry Henry Script Cover

(9/14/17)

When my mother played the role of "Mama Euralie" in Once on This Island with Georgia Ensemble Theater, this was the binder cover I created for her script.

Dancer

(9/4/16)

This movement study piece imitates what's usually seen in dancer photos.

EJX579-01

(9/4/16)

This is an original human-robot hybrid character design (similar to Cyborg from Teen Titans or XJ-9 from My Life as a Teenage Robot).

Fashion Designs

In my early years of visual art, I also became fascinated with fashion design. These are a few concepts.

Mom’s Mug

(1/6/19)

This is a shaded sketch of a mug I created along with the 2019 portrait for my mother. This was one of five pieces submitted to Yale University.
