Avocado Mandala, 2016
Pencil and Pen on bristol board, color in Photoshop

For a long time I couldn’t bring myself to eat Avocado. It is an acquired taste. And I don’t mean that in a “it’s really gross, but you get used to it” kind of way. It took a while to pinpoint what it is about avocados that gave me pause. And the key was, it is an entirely different flavor. I can’t think of anything it tastes like besides itself. Onion and garlic are flavor siblings, and citrus fruits are similar, but there was nothing in my mental catalog that I could full up. Well, thankfully, I acquired a taste for avocado, and now I can’t get enough. For this piece, I had a hard time deciding between avocado toast and guacamole, and decided on guac because it seems a little more universally enjoyed.

The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it.

In Roland’s where and when, the world has already begun to move on. Time and direction are in drift, and the fabric of reality is fraying. However, things are about to get much worse.
