Theme Project: That is not to say, however, that art has no themes. The projects I am displaying here all have a common theme of text-based mixed media. This is an art style I discovered I quite liked in my first semester when making text animal illustrations in a typography class. Something about the use of geometric text to make illustrations of organic things like animals and people really strikes me as interesting. I therefore decided to use text for all the projects on this page, and as you’ll see, though I included animals, I also went beyond them.
