Fragility. Destruction.

We don't realize what beauty is until it's damaged.

18" x 24", ballpoint pen, ink pen, white acrylic, India ink, watercolors, and prismacolor pencils on brown paper

(Even when I iron it out, it's still wrinkly.)

The India ink - black splatters - actually started out as an accident. I didn't know what I was doing, but it looked like I put it there on purpose, so I went along with it.

I originally intended to do the entire thing in ballpoint pen, but then I thought that adding in a bunch of mixed media would be more fun.

I used my phone to take the picture, so I'll upload a better quality one later.
