Artworks

Works from a parallel universe where I went to art school

For a few years I was very sure I would study art. In this universe I ended up doing math, but the drawings are still here, so I keep them. My motto at that time was “Rise to the sun!” and honestly, I still like it.

Ink drawings and prints, made with a syringe pen, one line at a time.
