"Montrose"
This drawing is a direct response to a fight over money outside my apartment in Montrose, a neighborhood of Houston. The event was very beautiful to me because of the desperate emotions being revealed at the time. I went down to tell them to move on but I was transfixed by the event that unfolded. I do not feel that I am aestheticizing violence with this image because I did witness beauty. In this image I am trying to convey the beauty of the moment rather than the violence.

This drawing makes me feel at home. There are a lot of fights like this outside my window.I have no problem seeing the beauty in this piece. I sometimes see beauty in the twisted metal of a car wreck. They look like two flowers fighting for light.
