"This piece was inspired by the imagery of classrooms around the school. I created this piece mainly to capture the atmosphere and the environment that I’ve spent so long in. I used mostly alcohol markers and microns to create detail and depth and used pencil crayons to further increase the saturation of the colors.

THE DICHOTOMY

A dichotomy. Deitic in nature. Godly beings. Output, input. The start, the end. Everything, and nothing. Light and dark. Boyfriends. My characters. One is me, taken to extremum. The other is my ideal self. One is a dragon, the other a winged wolf.
