Description i never drew any picture related to my history in basketball. i got injured several times in college, and i got depressed trying to prove myself to everyone. It was a cycle of spending 3-5 hours in training and therapy everyday, and getting injured again. Before senior year, i had my knee operated. Then i decided to stop all together.

That's when i got really serious with my photography and artwork. I feel like the universe was waiting for me to come to my senses.


this is a mix of sketching, painting, inking and digital chorva eklavu.

That is excellent work on "I Didn't Notice." I showed it to some of my friends. I understand the crutches. My wife asked why the slippers are pink. - Andy

oh wow, the picture is so sad. but it tells a story. yours. aint it?

i always sucked at basketball, man, playing it in PE in high school was so depressing for me. haha. i was a major klutz! and it didnt help i didnt know what my role (in PE basketball) as a center was. i mean, i was running in circles! >_< good thing high school is now over. but wait-- i realized i just got my highschool yearbook in MC awhile ago and i was like, here we go again.

anyway, its a good thing you rediscovered art and photography-- i guess when everything is quiet, a new sense of purpose in your life emerges.

keep rocking, becky.

In hindsight, these are the times when we look back and go "What the heck was I thinking? Why didn't I stop sooner?!"

On the other hand:

At least you persisted in basketball though, I think that would have helped you with your discipline when drawing and stuff... continuing through suffering creates perserverence, which is the most awesome quality to possess!

i was staring at this pic. for it's detailed work .. but some stuff kept me wondering until i started reading ..
and what a great piece of art that reflects you, yourself ... sacrificed to leave something behind, but earned some other things now

well done there
