This is important to us because what’s happening right now in Congress could permanently change protections for a beloved wilderness area. With everything else going on, this quietly moved forward while most people weren’t paying attention and it should concern all of us.

この絵は2023年の卯年のために描いたもので、干支をテーマにした作品の中に結構気に入りの作品です。この絵を描いたとき、体調崩して辛いn一年でした。そして健康の問題を抱えていて、個人的な象徴的な意味を込められています。

そういうことでみうらじろうのギャラリーで出展させていただきました
テーマはぴったり
展示は明日から今週の日曜日まで後5日間だけです
宜しくお願

I can finally share these, two packaging artworks made for Magic: The Gathering's Lorwyn Eclipsed Draft Night box! AD: Lauren Brown
They were painted in watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches paper, with some little digital changes alterations made to give the packaging the polish it needs.

Ghost

Sumi and liquid acrylics.

I’m not sure how to put into words the intentions of this painting, it’s just full of thoughts and emotions I felt at the time. It’s a silent painting, as silent as an owl flying through the night sky
この絵には、なに言えば正直わからない。
感情いっぱい入れているやけど、結構静か
夜の中に、梟が飛んでいるような静か

Scientific observation 🤔
A square chart with corners labeled HUMAN, FURRY, MONSTER, and "FERAL"/ANIMAL. it has various sliding-scale examples of the various ways sexy character appeals can present among the overlap between monsterfuckers and furries. The human corner has a guy labeled "That's Todd", the Animal corner has a dog labeled "That's a dog", the furry corner has an anthro wolf labeled "a dog with a 6-pack", and monster has a pile of eyes and wiggles labeled "eldritch"

It's sitting on a throne made of stone with vines and plants creeping over it and a petrified human head at the top. The basilisk's eyes glow orange and its gaze is malicious An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower a mock cover of the Prophet's Paradise, a collection of poems by Robert W. Chambers using the illustration Sleeper. "Sleeper" is an Illustration of a chimera-like being; her head and torso are that of a human with long flowing hair whilst the rest of her body is that of a grouse or pheasant, covered in fur and wings wide open; the tail is snake-like. She stands in darkness, a faint golden halo around her head and torso toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

明けましておめでとう
I’m late to posting this and for some parts of the world, it hasn’t been a great start.
Last year, I finally finished my tarot, and since then, I have been a bit lost when it comes to my goals in the art world.

My faves from this year 🙂
a selection of my paintings surrounding a photo of me. One painting has a huge dragon resting in a pool past some trees, with a waterfall flowing over its head and a white great egret taking off from the pool. Second pic is a blue dragon landing on the nest where her two dragonlings are waiting to be fed. third is a huge black dragon diving out of some storm clouds, surrounded wtih lightning and chasing a small red dragon over the mountain tops. the next is two white unicorns in a moonlit forest, one of them drinking from a dark pool. The last is a unicorn racing out of a wooded area into a clearing

Happy Yuletide
And Christmas

I have been spending most of my holiday a bit sick and sluggish but I spend the day today doodling with my kitties. I had this idea for a Christmas painting but unfortunately, it only got to a sketch phase and wanted to share it anyway.

Hope you all have a lovely day.
