Hawks

Hawks are a naturally beautiful bird. I love how the designer took this animal and made it seem even more stunning with the swirls and in black and white. It draws in the viewers right away and allows them to see another side to this piece.

Levi jeans

This design is made for the Levi Strauss jeans line. The whole image is made up of the buttons on a pair of this brand's jeans. I thought that it was an interesting design and a great way to promote the company.

Koi Fish

Koi fish create beautiful designs. They are widely known as tattoo ideas, like this one here. Although this particular design is not for a tattoo, it still has the ability to become one. The details in the Koi usually go with the swirls and bursts of color and floral designs; coming close to a modern day art nouveau style.

My Challenge Met, My Future Set

This piece looks like it was originally for a Seneca Valley High School senior project. The words within the design, "My challenge met, My future set" among the clocks holds an interesting viewpoint. I look at it as the clocks representing the time for the challenge but also for the time ahead of the artist (the future).

Lace and Stripes

This piece had my attention as soon as I saw it. I have a small obsession with lace and stripes these days, so it was something that i really loved. The pop of color and the missing spaces in the whole design captivate viewers and make them more interested in the piece. I love how the fabrics are fading away like they are torn and tattered.

Zebra Stripes

The usual image of a zebra is with its typical black and white stripes along its body. This artist chose a different approach. While there are still the basic fundamentals of the zebra here, she adds something more to it by making the stripes into trees with a bird and just a few touches of orange.

Floral Skull

When I first saw this piece, I thought it was the usual image of a skull. Then, getting a closer look, I saw that it was actually unusual because the whole thing is made up of flowers and decorative designs. A skull is not usually associated with flowers like this, so I thought that it was a good, new way to look at it.
