Item Description

Digital art

10" x 8"

Jake Lupus (a.k.a. Benjamin Ramsey) was born on February 22, 2002 and is anxious in social situations.  He studies art at a high school level at the League School of Greater Boston.  Jake Lupus (a.k.a.  Ben Ramsey) has recently been part of the exhibition “Facing the Spectrum” at the AAM.  He also has a furaffinity account.

“BETTER” is a stand-alone piece inspired by the song of the same name by Saint Factory (sorta) and what he thinks was the packaging for a Chia Pet in the 70’s.  Using digital media (Krita), Mr. Lupus experimented with bright, blocky gradients outlining a cooler, more neutrally toned cross-dressing anthropomorphic dog. It was what he felt like drawing at the time.
