📌 My name is H.B. and I'm a fantasy artist specializing in a nostalgic style. My work is inspired by woodcuts and vintage children's books.

Something from 2020 🌿
Digital art loosely styled like older print. It’s a symmetrical, stylized design of a lone figure standing behind shrubbery. The figure is contrasted by a black background.

Don't delay!
A mock newspaper ad featuring my OC Ashton (human) dressed rather outrageously, pinching his bowtie. He's mostly monochrome, save for select features (lips, nose, cheeks) accentuated in blushing pink. The text beside him reads, "you can have THE ENGLISH LOOK. The desired appearance. Simple tricks that set apart the fabulous looking freaks are revealed by British nobodys: Ashton Studley, "Lord" Grey Bleakington, Viv Stanshall, Tipples The Talking Hedgehog, in "What Are You Wearing? Clothes to Shock and Delight." Don't delay. You will have that sought after English Look the very day you receive your copy. Just one dollar."

Sometimes I think about the time my grandmother contacted my mom because she was concerned about how "dark" my art was.

The kicker was THIS piece is what caused her concern.

My latest activity has been organizing my magazine and newspaper clippings into an inspiration scrapbook. My choice in imagery, of course, is predictable.

(It's nature, creatures and earthy color palettes.)

I'm not wild about IG. My only reason for staying on is keeping up with artist friends who aren't on other sites or have their own website. Otherwise, I would've completely abandoned it a long time ago.

While reorganizing my art files from 2020, I was astounded at how much I created during that year. But, after thinking about it, of course I made a lot back then; I didn't care at all what I made or posted. That makes such a difference.

That time was also when I was at the peak of my Doppel fever and was drawing her nonstop. (Except that never went away, but I try my best to temper it nowadays.)
