There is so SO much embarassing art from college yall. Just the most literalist illustrations. I may or may not be functionally autistic now but I think I probably was when I was 19. But the cool thing is they're not online anymore because I own my own website and choose not to share them! Anyway, here's some still lifes from around 2003 instead. I think everything but the earlier Gothic was a limited palette exercise for Painting 1.

Mainly using this to chost a #retrospective of my artwork from the last uh 3 decades. Occasionally new art and rechosts. Pretend I put some fun gifs here.
2003 mixed media 3ft wide For Foundations drawing, paired pieces including some asemic writing. Under all that is my favorite gibberish trick at the time of transcribing phonetically in ancient Greek - in this case I think it was from Finnegan's Wake? This teacher hated me because I couldn't get to class on time during my first New England winter.
2002 I really made a lot of fan art in my teens, like when, for example, a 2D RISD Foundations course asked us to make a triptych in goache using studies from the nature lab, and, since Bujold's Curse of Chalion is set in a late medieval Europe analog, you make it a pentagonal unfolding altar with each panel representing one of the family of deities and the center the Bastard. I may have also been reading Sandman comics.
2003 I don't know whether all my teenage work was this egoist or just the stuff I kept for my portfolio. Anyway that's not a screenshot, I drew the screen I was looking at in Photoshop, which was the real artistic exercise here, and then I printed out each repeated screen on a separate transparency and clipped it to my laptop displaying a selfie. My usual background was a picture of my long-distance boyfriend I had never met. This was inspired by Hofstader or something
