Making art with a higher purpose beyond commodification and drawing on sources outside of pop culture blended with craftsmanship and genuine intent is how we can offer tactile and visceral work that speaks to the viewer. #scastio #artist #artistonmastodon #traditionalartist #penandink #drawing #fineart #nineteenthcentury #preraphaelite #Victorian #findesiecle

It’s interesting to look back and see where I was a decade ago. This post from March 2013 shows that I was in the process of recouping skill that had been lost during the mid-2000s. My work has changed a lot since then, but I still love this drawing of Amedeo Modigliani. His haunted stare remains the most captivating feature of this portrait.

Ten years ago, I started on a journey to recoup diminished skills brought on by real-life circumstances. I was unhappy about where I was in my work and decided to put serious energy into getting m work to where I wanted it to be. This portrait of sculptor Auguste Rodin was the first piece of work I produced that indicated to me that I was on the right path. Along with being an essential step for me, this drawing is also the finest example of my brush and ink work. #scastio #artistonmastodon #art
