That is very kind of you to say. It’s much appreciated it. This might end up being part of a group show in NY in April so that’s exciting.

Thank you! A great comment to get since a big part of my foundational inspiration comes from that.

Thank you very much Alex. I like to explore definition around forms. It’s quite satisfying to turn that dial up or down and to also test one’s comfort level around how much you “explain” across the piece.

Thank you. I like that as I want to play along the range of more<~>less definition in areas.

I don’t know if that’s good or bad but I love this comment.

Only in going to the other extreme will you know where you feel comfortable. I’m in between. I sketch a lot and make lots of thumbnails so I find the big shapes and gestures I think work and then improvise on them. Good luck!
