Archaeology

Below are examples of mainly my figurine illustrations while serving as the site artist for the Tell Timai excavation. It is truly something to labor over perfecting an illustration of a figurine that has not been seen in thousands of years until you or your friend excavated it out of the ground. This art is both exacting and requires, like all art, the imbuing of a certain spirit of the object in your hand. I try not to add anything, only clearly record what is there.
