I think i'm really jelous. She is AMAZING! i love how photo realistic her work is, like a picture taken in black and white. this is a qute from Melisa about the process she goes through for her peices.
"My drawings are made by dusting thin layers of graphite onto paper with a dry brush. The softness of the graphite provides a smooth surface that can be augmented by erasing in details and textures. No pencils are used in the work, allowing the surface to glow without the shine of heavy pencil marks. Illusion dissolves into brush work and the honesty of the material."
"Too Much, But Never Enough(Drowning in LOKO)", 2011, graphite on paper, 50"x38"
“Self Portrait as Pig #1”, 2008, graphite on paper, 38” x 50”
