I can't get the images of the Kyoto cherry blossoms out of my head. I love the fluffy white blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful color.

Even months after visiting Kyoto, Japan, to capture the cherry blossoms during peak bloom, I can't get those images out of my head. I want to capture the fluffy white nature of the blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded entirely by beautiful color.

The Mid-Autumn Festivals of China inspired this Hare, through the Jade Rabbit. I wanted to make a Pride-themed Star Hare.
So, without really stopping to plan, This came out.
Star Hare has Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 Inclusive Pride! 🏳️‍⚧️
We are all stars.🐇💜😊

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare standing on a background of stars, facing left, right paw raised, head lifted.
The hare is decorated in a repeating pattern of silver circles with stars, with the background colour shading through the Pride rainbow (red at the head, shading through orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple), with the added brown and black of the Progressive Pride flag on the hind feet, and a circle tail with the Intersex flag (yellow with a purple circle in the center) in a moon crescent on the left, and the Trans flag colours (pink, blue, and white represented by silver) done as a many pointed star.
This was inspired by the Chinese Moon Rabbit, because everyone in the Pride Community is a star. :)

Working on something new but it's totally an experiment so in case it doesn't work out, here's an appropriate older piece. (The original is in color but I like how it looks in b&w).

Watercolor painting of a woman at a table with an assortment of bottles, salt, and mushrooms on the table. She's in front of a large bowl that's acting as a cauldron and smoke billows out of it. Behind her are shelves full of more bottles and old books.

Nashville Scene
Best Repertory Series Queer Qlassics
ANNIE PARNELL
4 HRS AGO

Illustration of a person painting a mural that reads “Nashville Scene”

When The People's Joker screened in the Belcourt's Queer Qlassics series, director Vera Drew handed out stickers on the sidewalk — and my partner and I ran into Grammy nominee Aaron Lee Tasjan (whose latest album explores coming out) in the popcorn line. That's just the surface of the community and happy chaos of this July series, which featured a Q&A with Drew, a local queer film history seminar, and screenings of tearjerkers (Brokeback Mountain) and camp oddities (D.E.B.S.) alike. Its focus on "stability in hostile times" is especially important now — and so was its revolutionary sense of joy.

“Haunted Swamp”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a swamp in several colors of green, grey, black, blue and purple. Glowing mushrooms and hanging moss dot the landscape.

18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance. Grey fog creeps along parts of the ground.

Oil painting of old graveyard at sunset in autumn, on 18-inch by 24-inch canvas. Orange and red sky, with bare trees, green grass, headstones, and some spooky elements in blue and green.

“Obsidian Peaks”, an 18”x24” oil painting showing a dark foreboding sky and black-blue mountains. A brief opening in the clouds shows the blue sky above, shining down on a valley teeming with forests.

Pen drawing of a ghostly upper torso, neck, head and shoulders of a bald human emerging from a mass of organic shapes that suggest organs, musculature, veins and other structures. Facing left it is looking with solid white eyes and a third eye towards an area of alien writing and shapes in white on a black background next to what appears to the left half of a viewer facing grey style alien being in an embryonic pose in a container and hooked up to wires and is propped up by the same structure of the background

Pen drawing of a humanoid figure, seemingly colossal, striding across a twisted organic landscape with T shaped towers emerging out of the vine and tendril like ground under a pinkish-purple and blue plasma coloured sky. Structures reach up into the sky with shapes of various beings silhouetted against the sky in the large branch like structures. Other celestial figures hang in the sky at various distances while orbs of blue and purple light hover over the landscape in the foreground.

Pen drawing that is mostly black and white focused on a humanoid figure with many different organic growths coming out of their back that contain eyes, while the upper part of their face is covered by a solid plate that has the skin of the lower part of the face connected to it by rivets. The rest of their body is covered by strange techno-organic growths and in the background is another figure reclining and holding their hands above their head into the arched walls that frame the scene. The surrounding area makes an oval portal like shape that filled with a yellowish hue and a number of orange ringed elongated eye like shapes with white centers with black filaments.

Pen drawing of a cosmic being with purplish-blue gems of various sizes arrayed as a face inside a large concentric oval headdress the flowing into a thin, 4 armed body that has a stone like, almost fossil texture. All around it are fragments of rock and large, cosmic scale structures arcing around in the background with a blue, orange and purple sky.

Thank you for hosting! I'm Grace, a traditional and digital artist (mostly digital atm) and I like to paint horror and fanarts 🦇🎃👻 ✨️

"The old forest god"
"And in the stillness of the woods, the Old Forest God returned to reclaim his dominion..."
_____
A horror creature is coming out of a bright portal in the middle of the woods, his upper body looks humanoid, his lower body beast like. There's a gape in his belly and a tentacle is coming out of it. His head is crown with antlers and a bright red halo.

"The colours of horror: turquoise"
Turquoise, but not like the calm sea water. Turquoise like the chemically filled pool water, like the artificial light above your head, like the deafening silence of the creature staring at you.
____
An emancipated inhuman creature is starting in the middle of a shallow pool, it has tentacles dangling instead of arms, its rib cage 3 times longer than the average human. The face is a black mass with two glowing dots for eyes. A halo of white light crowns its head, while a void with detached eyes opens behind him.

"Cryptid Eldrich horror Batman"
A Batman figure is crouched on top of a crane in the middle of the city at night. His face has no eye just a round mouth full of teeth. Intead of cape he has 6 demon wings.

"Be the Queen the world deserves"
Head of a xenomorph queen on a red background
