Hi #portfolioday !! I’m X Lágrima / Angela Ramones, a traditional painter & digital illustrator based in Los Angeles. Looking for any kind of work or commissions, but check out my website to see all my gallery work, album covers, & pixel art !

“New World: Solatium” oil on canvas, roughly 4 feet tall. purple monster with bat wings dancing on the sand of a beach with plushies and skulls in the water & washing ashore. the horizon curves in the distance, with rocks and cartoon stars floating above the waves

“A Body Frozen in Time” oil on canvas 18x24”, blue humanoid figure with parts of their anatomy showing through the skin, like their heart, veins, and muscle anatomy on their hands. a black void with a small white flower sits where their stomach should be

currently untitled, 18x24” oil on canvas, a dark figure with giant scales like armor poses ready to strike in a pastel desert. a sharp blade grows out of their head

I wrote a sort of long and meandering essay about all of the really terrible things that have been happening in the world recently, and the way I’ve been using art/culture to think and feel my way through it

Feelings in Uncertain Times

An essay about the weight of it all, and using art as a language to understand our current realities. How do we understand our world when it is in the midst of coming undone?

painted this because I can’t stop thinking about @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s
Frankenstein ✞

9x12 oil painting - main figure is my take on Frankenstein’s monster with the background detailing a stream, old chapel, and forest - the monster appears to be a younger and older person stitched together with long white hair

I don't think I've cleaned this palette much (if ever) since college. Washing away this history of colors feels weirdly emotional.

I've been moving towards new brands of watercolor paints, so it's time to start fresh ✨

How might we promote our projects, events, campaigns, art, values, etc *beyond* social media?

There's no one magic key, but some friends and I did some brainstorming and skill-sharing. Hope it can useful to artists, musicians, organizers, small business owners, and beyond:

Promoting Our Projects, Events, and Values BEYOND Social Media

A guiding question for artists, activists, and community-builders: If social media did not exist, how would you share your art, promote your work, and/or communicate your values?

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) @covid19disease.bsky.social · Jan 25

The bird flu is spreading to more than 50 mammal species and putting food supplies at risk.

H5N1 is airborne and spread by migratory birds, making it hard to control.

Despite culling millions of birds, the virus spreads, raising prices and increasing human cases.

This is a global health crisis.

I'm continually drawn back to the metaphor that as artists, a lot of us see our work as "planting seeds." But I'm curious about the difference between "scattering wildflower seeds as we skip through the meadow" and "planting crops with intention and care that can feed a community." More:
