New Drawing: "Rural Route"

This is a new drawing I did with ink-wash and a touch of colored pencils. I apologize for my crappy digital photos (the lamp light probably didn't help much either).

Bhopal Ink Wash Drawings.

This is a series of ink wash drawings I did for an Environmental Science class project on the 1984 MIC gas (methyl isocyanate) disaster that happened in Bhopal, India. A pesticides plant in the heart of the city (owned by Union Carbide and currently owned by Dow Chemical) malfunctioned and released approx. 40 metric tons of this gas into the city, killing 3,000 people and in the coming years, another estimated 15,000 to 20,000. Neither Union Carbide nor Dow Chemical have given proper compensation nor cleaned up the site. Although these images aren't necessarily accurate, I wanted to choose a sequence that would help sum up the event and its history. The third image shows Warren Anderson, the CEO of the old Union Carbide Corporation, who still has homicide charges against him from Bhopal.

Fernand Leger Ink Wash "Caricature"

Here's an ink wash drawing I did incorporating a few of Fernand Leger's paintings and a small "caricature" of him. I'm pretty fond of his art, so when I was assigned to do a caricature for a class, I decided to do one of him in this unconventional rendering, as I thought it would fit him and his work better than the stereotypical large head and small body.
