Overview: Acetyl Fear is one of my favorite pieces, a spur of sporadic creative passion kept me up all night creating it. It attempts to capture and convey emotions, stories and feelings that go hand in hand with the art style I choose to use.

Process: I used canvas, one of my favorite mediums, first outlining the molecular composition in black pen. This part of the process often takes the longest for me. As I kept creating art, the importance of molecular accuracy became a more prominent desire, despite not being as present in Acetyl Fear, I have since strived to ensure the bonds I draw are theoretically possible and accurate.
I used oil pastels for colour here, I really enjoyed how the pastels interacted with the canvas texture, and you can see the stipple-like effect that it creates, an aspect I felt would enhance the emotion of the piece.

Themes: Acetyl Fear attempts to capture the nature of drug use within a drug user. The depicted, has become addicted to drugs to the extent that they became comprised of molecules, deformed and becoming a monsterous hybrid of human and compound.
The depicted feels trapped and suffocated by this deformation, with the main display of emotion being anger and angst from them.

Overview: Buy The Ticket is the only piece I have made where I depict a real person. The subject is Hunter S. Thompson, more specifically, the way Johnny Depp portrayed him in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Process: Once again, I used canvas, outlining the subject in black pen first, creating the structure, and then adding colour through the mediums of oil pastels, graphite and pencils.

Themes: Themes run congruent with the preceeding work, the subject has strong ties to Gonzo Journalism, a subject of keen interest at the time but also contains this in one of his works, in which the piece is based off the adaptation of.

Overview: This work is an adaptation of the famous sistine chapel artwork, "The Creation Of Man". I used my art style to give the piece a new meaning.

Process: I used an A4 sheet of paper I found in my school bag for this piece, the idea came to me quicker then I could grasp a canvas. I used only graphite and colouring pencils for the work itself.

Themes: As the name suggests, there is not only an artistic alteration but a equidistant figurative one aswell. The hand of God, as depicted in the original is drawn normally, wheras "Man", or Adam in the original, has his hand composed of numerous drug molecules. 'Man's Disease' in this case is drug addiction, hence the artistic twist.

Overview: Absent of creative insperation, I decided to just start drawing, and so I drew a horizontal line of drug molecules diagonally across the A3 page. After taking a step back, I thought what this line could be, one of the ideas was the side of a mountain, and from there, I tied my Greek roots and love of Albert Camus into the work, turning it into the mountain Sisyphus pushes a boulder up.

Process: This was created on an a3 sheet of card, the initial line being done in black pen, I then used watercolour pencils for the mountain colour and thick oil pastels for the dark sky background.

Themes: This work features the most drug molecules in any of my peices, featuring over 35 unique different and accurate drug molecules. I chose to do this to fit the nature of the piece, and as with all my works, drug addiction is the core, but this work is more so about recovery and sobriety, how it can feel condemmed and hopeless sometimes, and yet, you continue to push.
