Ethan Ellison is a senior Graphic Design major from Martin.
He is featured in the Bellwethers Exhibition at the West Tennessee Regional Art Center in Humboldt, which will take place through Nov. 1.
Ellison’s piece in the show is titled Sean Pablo-“cherry”. It took him a total of 18 hours over a period of a month to complete the piece.
“Art to me is one of the many things I admire about this world,” Ellison said.
Ellison prefers to work digitally because he feels that he has more control over his pieces that way. If he is not working digitally, he chooses ink and markers as his means.
After graduation, Ellison plans to pursue a career in graphic design. He hopes to work for a clothing company to design shirts or shoes. His dream would be to open his own clothing company that creates clothes at a reasonable price and is ethical.
“[An art degree] will be very hard sometimes, but it is worth it in the end to have a career in something you love,” Ellison said.
To see more of Ellison’s work, attend the UTM Art Bazaar Dec. 7-9 in the Fine Arts Gallery.
