Old school..


Some old school pen and ink fine line art on a handkerchief I did back in the 11th grade.. It's titled "Crazy Dream" it's actually larger than what it appears; some of it was cut off I didn't take a great picture.  Handkerchief or "Pano Arte" is a Chicano/ Latino art form that originated in the Southwest prisons in the 1940's or 50's. I have a large collection myself =)
Here's a few links about it..

  1. This piece is really cool! I like how all the forms fit together. The linework is great, I like how you got some greys in there too. :)
