I have years worth of art that I will never do anything with. So instead of just throwing it all in the garbage I'm offering my vintage "Joel Heires" art for free (plus shipping and handling for those not local ;) ). I have a few posts worth of stuff. Most are works on paper, most with tack holes already in them! So take a gander as I slowly post a "Joel Heires" retrospective with some work going all the way back to middle school.
We'll start with 1998 -2000
Admittedly a "growing" period in my technique, these early paintings and drawings would culminate it my signature "college" style. I will shed very few tears when I throw them away.

| There is a first part of this piece which I haven't Photographed yet. The assignment was to violate rules of perspective. |

| This was one of a couple pieces that were instrumental in developing my dry media skills in a way that would highly influence my later work. |

| This drawing is about 10.5 feet tall. |
After two semesters of drawing foundation courses, there were two semesters of painting.
I dislike painting having what I feel to be a poor color sense and certainly at the time a very weak technical grasp of the media involved. Only years later, having done a fair amount of digital painting , do I even feel like I want to attempt to paint again.

| During the final critic, many of my classmates pointed out that it resembled the American flag. That was not on purpose but certainly part of what i was thinking of when I drew it. |
