A recently completed painting - Bella Peligrosa (Dangerous Beauty). Read her full story on my website. marksarmel.com/aboutbellaht...

A somewhat realistic portrait painting of a Latin woman with purple and green cactus horns. The left cactus horn has a single blooming flower. Around her neck are various necklaces, one with golf leaf vampire teeth, a lipstick holder and a small mirror. She is surrounded by other cactus, all with un-bloomed flowers. She wears a purple turtleneck and an orange trench coat with purple tiger stripes. The background is light pink Above her head are the Spanish words "Bella Peligrosa" which means Dangerous Beauty.

Recently finished up a new #luchador painting. These are fun experiments for me that are quite different than my usual style.

The third and final piece from this #Cheeky #Rollerskategirls series. When I started this series I wanted to do something sexy and fun, but still keep is tasteful. I also wanted to be #bodypositive and draw women of different types. If interested in prints hit me up.

Another #cheeky #illustration #artist

A drawing of a woman. It is in a limited color pallet with only pink, blue and white colors. She is in roller skates wearing heart shaped sunglasses and holding a small portable stereo. She is wearing a pink and white satin track suit style jacket. She also has on white socks with pink stripes. Her skates are pink as well. The line work is a dark gray color. Blue colors in the background.

Drew some turtles recently. This #TMNT series featured a limited desaturated color pallet for supreme mood setting. This was a ton of fun to do and I can't wait to get started on the bad guys. All available for purchase here: marksarmel.com/store #artist #comicart #teenagemutantninjaturtles

Hello Bluesky, here's a little bit about me. I'm an artist. I'm originally from Texas, but I've been living in Michigan for the past 25 years. My work is inspired by mythology, comics, the Latin diaspora, Mesoamerican culture and more. Check out a few of shots of some recently completed paintings.
