Do It Alone. Ink & Pencil, 2011.

In high school I became very interested in typography and graphic design, and began experimenting with new ways to integrate these elements into my drawings.

What resulted was a series of mixed media ‘graphic drawings’. This one features an abstracted illustration-style drawing of Kid Cudi, made with black and purple pen and pencil crayon.

The stylized “Kid Cudi” letters are filled in with the lyrics of the song Do It Alone, one of my favorite Cudi songs and the inspiration for this piece (video link to that song is at the bottom).

Other graphic drawings that I’d made prior to this piece can be seen below.
