A cohesive mixed-media series explores the male body across the boundary between illustration and reality. In each image, a hyper-muscular male figure rendered in 2D pencil and ink confronts or mirrors his fully realized 3D counterpart. The drawn figures feature bold contour lines, cross-hatching, and visible construction marks, while the 3D figures appear dense and sculptural, with realistic skin texture, weight, and cinematic lighting. Torn paper edges divide the worlds as fists, forearms, and gestures align across dimensions. Repeated poses emphasize mass, symmetry, and obsession, suggesting muscle as both subject and medium—an anatomy study that insists on becoming real.
