This is a piece of paper with song lyrics written in calligraphy in three sizes, all intersecting and written on curves, like hills, in blue gray and ochre colored inks.

Learning any part of calligraphy is incredibly technical and requires a lot of practice, and writing on a curve was no exception. This calligraphy is Humanist Bookhand in 3 nib widths and two acrylic ink colors. I chose to work with the lyrics from a Broken Social Scene song, for which the piece is titled.

A painting of the wendigo in the forest, walking across a path and creatures in the shadows staring back at you.

Luna Bartleson | “Wendigo”

A stacked perspective mixed media collage in black and white; the furthest away and topmost layer depicts mountains with a wisp of smoke coming from the top, below it is a simple house drawn in one point perspective without much detail on a background of plain text newspaper, with 2 cowboys in chaps and traditional rodeo uniforms embracing one another with their backs to the audience in the front yard; next to them is text reading 'THE FUTURE IS . . .' and behind the cowboys and closest to the viewer are 3 cows that poke out of a windmill also done in first person perspective.
