Traditional Art Portfolio
Posted by Sheyahshe
While there is no end to the available media types out there - charcoal, ink, water colors, oil paints, pastels, etc. - I find that nothing beats the feel and reaction of pencil. When I do sketchwork, I prefer to begin my work simply, utilizing pencils, paper smudge sticks, and various erasors. Nothing beats the experience, at least for me.
A close second to this would be a black Conte crayon or Conte pencil, allowing me a look more closely aligned with charcoal, but the ease, control, and smoothing potential of pencil work.
aNm also specializes in other traditional art media, such as clay sculpture and acrylics work.
aNm's artwork has been showcased in various venues and art shows locally and abroad:
- SoonerCon (2007-2009), OKC, OK
- The Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair Art Show, SF, CA
- Anti Anti Anti Anti (2008)
- Regeneration (2007)
