This is one of my first attempts at working on a smaller surface. I've sketched plenty of things obnoxiously tiny before, but haven't tried painting on such a scale.I realize that I could put this painting in my coat pocket and carry it around - that is, if the desire struck me. I feel like I've reached some kind of artistic milestone by thinking about my work specifically with size in mind. Success!

It's small enough that a person might fit it inside of a purse or an especially large pocket. It didn't take long to create, and I especially enjoyed making it. That was in 2015, in Everett, Washington. This painting ended up with a friend. Thanks again Chris (AKA BBC).

Oberlin has always been an artist, developing a love for fountain pens at an early age and deciding to train both hands to draw. They had heard adults talk about a spooky thing called ‘arthritis’. The artist is now ambidextrous.

Oberlin began having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy during their freshman year of college. Art helped tremendously. 

Some of Oberlin’s paintings come from sketches. Some of the paintings are scenes and shapes that mutate from color. The commonality is expression. The sketches themselves come from dreams and conversations. Some of these ideas have ruminated for months or years. Others happened in a flash.

Any of the art that you see may have since been painted over, traded, donated, given away, eaten, burned, buried or destroyed.
