I’m working on a few sketch cards for Living Dead Weekend in June. I’ll be starting a larger painting for that show, too. #sketchcards #sketch #livingdead #horror

Trying out a few new things on this one. I used a paper mask to cover Lilly Rose so I could paint a dark background. It looks really odd until I add the warm skin tone that pulls her forward. Onward... #vampire #nosferatu #horror #horrorart #fanart #horrormovie #lilyrosedepp

Fun with paper masks. It’s a time consuming, but necessary step when airbrushing. #airbrush #fantasyart #JanuArty #butterfly #flower

This painting sat unfinished for many years. I didn't know what direction I wanted to take. The flowers just made perfect sense once I revisited the painting. So...Onward! #airbrush #butterfly #fantasy #artinprogress #fantasyart #fairy #art

Abigail drawing I did with colored pencil on gray Strathmore paper. I ended up gifting this sketch to Alisha Weir, who played Abigail in the movie. #vampire #abigail #JanuArty #originalart

Keeping with the vampire theme, this is an 11x14 Nosferatu airbrush painting on Yupo paper. #nosferatu #airbrush #Januarty #vampire #horror #art

This is an older painting that I just framed. "Vampyr" is based on visuals from Carl Dreyer's film "Vampyr". The model for this 15x20 airbrush painting is Lynette Drachenblut. #Januarty #art #originalart #vampire #nosferatu

Last year, I was approached to do a back glass for a one-of-a-kind Big Trouble in Little China pinball game. I had never done anything like that before, so I thought it would be fun. At 17x27, it is the full size of the glass back panel. It was done on claybord with airbrush.

Getting ready to finish framing this painting. This is the Page of Swords for the 78 Tarot Halloween deck. This is my niece in the painting. If you think she looks like a rascal here, we have stories to tell you! @delphinemalidore.bsky.social
