Hopf Pineapple Full Hopf Fibration With Pineapple Scales, 2016
22x28 inches, Ink pen on poster board
This piece was inspired by the hopf fibration, visualized as a stereographic projection of the 3-sphere into R3. I loved this shape and how it allows the viewer to "see" in higher dimensions, and coincidentally, it reminded me of a pineapple.
More about the hopf fibration.

Jason Momoa Jason Momoa, 2018
Charcoal on paper
This is a drawing I did of Jason Momoa. I was trying to get more practice in charcoals and I was really taken with how dramatic his countenance was.



Danny Trejo Mi Presidente, 2018
Charcoal and ink on paper
This is a drawing I did of Danny Trejo. To be very clear, I do not believe any high-ranking government position should be considered entry-level. This is from an elaborate fantasy I have where my life is a Robert Rodriguez movie and Danny Trejo happens to be the president of the United States.

Scratchboard, paper, pencil, pen
In 2016, I did a series of drawings of my friends at work in various class subjects. This is my friend Christian in chemistry class.
