My most favorite in this collection is either my ink on wood drawing or the mounted head. The ink because painting on fresh woodgrain has now become a new obsession. The mounted deer head was probably the most fun to make. Since I've worked at a lot of major corporation stores, I wanted to demonstrate how I feel their companies view shoppers, as nothing more than a prize, a number or figure, something to hang on their wall. They work to get you to buy from them and keep spending. That's all they care about is being able to keep you loyal so you'll keep coming back and giving them you're money. I made the deer head out of shopping bags from some of the different stores I've worked at like this. I just loved the feeling of working with wood, cutting planks of it and working with it in it's natural state. Making use of the transparent layers and incorporating it into wood was exciting to do and a nice challenge.
