Happy St Nikolaus Day! My family is from Bavaria. Kids put shoes out on Dec5. In the night St Nikolaus leaves treats&gifts in the shoes of good children to find on Dec6. The demon, Krampus, stuffs naughty kids into his sack, never to be seen again.

November was a crazy art making month for me. From commissioned fan art, Jesus art, ink drawings/paintings (commissioned portrait and mini fairytale art) I was all over the place artistically 😂

A collage of three fan art commissioned paintings: Jack from The Shining, Madonna from Material Girl, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Three Christian paintings: Jesus with a group of children (Jesus modeled by Gavriel LaDue and 15 children of different races and ethnicities) a commission of a painting that symbolizes giving your best effort to Jesus and Him magnifying that effort- depicted through a person giving Jesus a single rose and Jesus exchanging it for a bouquet of roses (modeled by Kevin and Carol Schley), and a portrait of Christ with a crown of Olive Leaves (modeled by Gavriel LaDue) A ink portrait commission 9x14”, and five 3x3” ink fairytale and folklore drawings/paintings: Beauty and the Beast, Krampus and St. Nikolaus, The Seven Swans, Alice in Wonderland, Jack and the Beanstalk. All artwork was drawn in graphite, drawn over in black ink then colored with walnut ink, black acrylic paint and white acrylic paint.

Have you taken advantage of my sale yet? I love packaging orders. It’s the step on my process- when the artwork stops being “mine” and now belongs to someone else. It means so much to me.

I was on Etsy & all character commissions I saw were using AI; lying about it or using deceptive language. They were offering very low prices & faster turn around times than I could ever compete with. Please choose real artists

Excerpt from artist statement: There have always been uncomfortable parts of my religion. I used to be able to tuck those things away & hope that someday it’ll make sense. But as years go, things are no longer willing to stay tucked away. Instead my religious foundation is vanishing.
#artsky #art
A woman sitting on the ground hugging herself while looking up at the sky/heavens. The center of the painting and where she sits has been reduced to a simple line drawing to represent a vanishing foundation of former belief.
