Making a new vest! Finished painting the back, now it’s time to add some spikes and get to sewing. #painting #originalart #diypunk #punk #painter #diy #customclothes #handmade

After a little break from painting, I finally recovered some urge to do it. So have a little portrait I thought up. “Gazing Skyward” acrylic on cardboard #originalart #traditionalart #acrylicpaint #portrait #art #painting #artist #paint

I’ve been into Victorian stuff lately. Here’s my latest little piece, “At the Altar” in graphite. #graphite #originalart #pencil #drawing #skull #artist #traditionalart

A little experiment with light, contrast, and with marker, which I haven’t used in a very long while. I think her name would be something like “Flo the Suspicious Waitress” #sharpie #ink #originalart #traditionalart #marker #drawing #oc #art

Decided to give oil pastels another try. For someone who thinks about sea life this much, I sure haven’t drawn enough of it. “Abyssal Accountants” in oil pastels #oilpastels #sharks #originalart #traditionalart #traditionalartist #pastels

I always save my sketchbooks, but only recently did I flip through the piles of random doodles and drawings going back to 7th grade. This collage is an amalgamation of a decade of drawings, and quite a lot of memories on one wall. #originalart #collage #traditionalart #mixedmedia #collageart #artist

Original portrait, acrylic on wood. I had an old piece of furniture of unknown purpose, which I wanted for art stuff. This one was a challenge with the rough surface and angle I had to paint at, but I think it gives it character. #originalart #painting #acrylic #renaissanceart #traditionalart #art

My art room has been a major project for a long time. My old record player was busted beyond repair, so it got a new paint job & I gutted it to upholster the inside. It now serves purpose again as a storage bin that matches the theme. #painting #originalart #painter #upcycling #diy #art #acrylic

Executioner Smough Out of all the characters I have really seen in these games, I have always felt a draw to Smough’s design. Something about him is so jarring and unique. #fanart #coloredpencils #traditionalart #darksouls #eldenring #videogames #drawing

With this one, I was very focused on lighting and texture. I didn’t have much of a plan besides that, but I love how she came out. “Time Makes Fools of Us All” colored pencils on paper. #originalart #coloredpencils #jester #traditionalart #artist #artpiece #drawing

Surgeons just might be my most drawn subjects in the last few years. My interest in making these pieces sits halfway between utmost respect and a humble fear. “Retinal Reanimation” colored pencils on paper #horror #originalart #coloredpencils #traditionalart #drawing #sketchbook #artist

This is the first finished oil piece I’ve done, which has turned 4 years old. I reckon it is inspiring me to do more animal subjects, which I am excited about. “Tangerine Trees” oil on canvas board #oilpainting #traditionalart #birds #animals #painting #magpie #art #nature

My old love of plague doctors has met my new passion for finding the occasional thrifted briefcase. Acrylic paint on, well, a briefcase. #plaguedoctor #painting #acrylic #originalart #traditionalart #plaguedoctorart #upcycling #artist #art

A small complete corner of a much larger incomplete piece. I have been captivated by the slightly uncanny but very beautiful faces of vintage dolls. Work in progress, colored pencils #wip #porcelaindoll #coloredpencils #originalart #traditionalartist #artwip #sketchbook #realism

I’ve been into textiles, animals, and I wish I could sew better, so here’s those ideas combined. This pin cushion snail has love in his button eyes. “Snail Stitch” colored pencils on paper #faesense #TitillatingTexture #traditionalart #art #snail #originalart #surrealism #coloredpencils #textiles

An original portrait I drew in an attempt to capture not just anger, but real rage, which is not a common subject for me. Cut it out and hung it, which makes for a conversation piece at least. “Rage” colored pencils on paper #art #coloredpencils #originalart #portrait #traditionalart #realism #face

A painting that began as a mere attempt to do anything at all during a difficult time, became a significant symbol of purpose and guidance for me. After months I am happy to say its done. “Three Wise Women” acrylic paint on cardboard #originalart #acrylicpaint #painting #traditionalart #art #artist
