Internal Dialog is my third illustration for the Dots and Dashes series. It depicts my different voices and how they influence me. It includes a #3dPrinted tactile version #DisabilityArts
The artist sits in a chair with a felt coat, black pants, and running shoes. They have a beard, glasses and look straight forward. Five figures of the artist are behind them. The First is directly behind the artist with a stone face. Their hands cover the artist’s ears and keep him looking forward. Crouching to the right of the artist is a sinister looking figure. Its face in shadow as it whispers to the artist. To the left is a figure with a Worried look. It leans its head on its balled fist while its right hand grasps the sleave of the artist coat. Behind these figures a bound man struggles to get free and the silhouette of the final figure 3d printed tactile print

Alone Represents my feelings of being Alone even in a crowd of people. We are surrounded by people every day. On the streets in buildings, we walk by and alone represents that disconnect with those around us we do not know. #DisabilityArts #illustration #3dPrint
Alone is a 32cm wide by 92 cm long print on luster paper stock. At the bottom is a group of people all faceless with a man with a beard and glasses also faceless. Behind the crowd is a tall building with the word Suel intertwined with branches on its entrance. You can see more people inside the building. Farther up there is a larger version of the Suel sign with two lights illuminating it. On the second floor is a wrap-around window filled with the silhouettes of people in a restaurant. Small triangular red flags are crisscrossing the street. As the building rises into the sky there are two apartments on each floor, each with a balcony and bedroom window. As the building goes up it is flanked by structures on either side both in solid black. There are silhouettes of people in the apartments, some lit, others dark. The sky at the top is multiple shades of grey A photo of a 3d printed tactile version of the illustration alone

My illustration Frog in a well. It is my interpretation of the Japanese proverb A frog in a well does not know the great sea. As it's related to the isolation experienced by people with #disabilities. #DisabilityArts

I 3-D printed a new wall mount for my lightsaber from Disneyland. I used a graphite rub and a gloss clearcoat to finish.

With this holiday illustration I wanted to explore disability in mythology. How people with disabilities are not just how we appear on the outside. We are much more.
This illustration is of Odin, transformed into a reindeer. It is night. The aurora borealis lights the night sky green. There is a line of snow-covered trees in the distance. Odins antlers glow with a yellow light reflecting on his fur. His chin hair is gathered in a ring. Etched on the ring, is the Rune Absuz. One of Odin’s ravens sits on his back, the other is just about to land beside it. Odin’s eye is coloured black, the other glows yellow white with a scar running through it.

I have designed brackets for my tactile prints so it can be mounted at an angle. The print will be held in place with a neodymium magnet to keep it stable. I hope this will make it comfortable and secure when it is touched. #accessability #DisabilityArts

Tactile print #8 #NotSouless. I struggled with this one wither to add the shading and represent it as a lower surface or just have the line art. In the end I wanted the shading. I tried different configurations, but the block turned out best. #DisabilityArt #Inclusion #Accessability #Art
