Austin's Artwork
Austin has produced drawing artwork over the years, mostly for his enjoyment. He wrote comments about some of them as part of a class project in high school.
"This picture was supposed to be a comic likeness of myself."
"I don't really remember what I was trying to imitate when I drew this [man]. All I know is I did it all in pen, and by the notebook paper background you can guess that I drew it at school."
A copy of a comic book character.
"This was a picture I drew when I was experimenting with color. I normally only draw in black and white, but this turned out alright."

A self-portrait.
And this was how he drew it. The lamp was turned down low, and set to give good contrast on his face.
For a while, Austin was in a sculpture class at a local art studio. This tiger was made with a plastic molding compound, fired, and then painted. The instructor noticed that he instinctively used a dry-brushing technique during the painting.
We really enjoyed this one because of the tiger's mischievous look.
A water color.
In 2006, Austin and Janae's Christmas gifts to family were watercolor paintings that he did of Japanese dancing cranes.
He did several poses.
