Ahoy! An update! I feel your shocked faces... 😄

Won't slam folks with a huge art blast—and the digital art scene is still pretty frozen for me, due to continuing computer blues—so here, have a trad piece.

Graphite and a little acrylic on canvas. Modeled by incandescentkiki @ IG. 🖤

#DarkArt
Graphite, acrylic, rhinestones on canvas. Ethereal figure, leaking while smoke.

Had a marvelous time at @ixarts.bsky.social this past weekend! Returned home inspired, exhausted, but so very glad to be in the imaginative realism community. Back to work!

OH, ALSO! One of my rare oil paintings was juried into the latest show at the Ohio Art League! The show is called 'Uncensored', and it centers selections that might be Too Much™️ for mainstream exhibition. Bless 'em.

An oil painting that shows a female figure on a midnight background, arms flung wide as though crucified, bright rose petals drift down like drops of blood. The title is 'Crucifixotica'.

There's a metric 💩ton of WIPs I can't share right now, so it seems like I'm doing nuthin'. Have some lil details from the last two covers I've had the honor to illustrate and design. They pretty. For @elliscolton.bsky.social & @ellorysamhain.bsky.social !

#SelfPublishers #PrettyBoys #BookCovers
Digital design, the lead characters in Ellis Colton's 'Malevolent Sea'. M/M, mystery, paranormal. Two handsome chaps against a New England cliff; the sky is stormy. Digital design, atmosphere and crashing waves for Ellis Colton's 'Malevolent Sea'. M/M, mystery, paranormal. Slimy tentacles are coiling up from a rough, blue sea. The M/M protagonists from Ellory Samhain's 'Service at Old Raenshire'. They're smoldering in warm colors and and high fantasy. Oh, the pining... Details of the M/M protagonists' garb from Ellory Samhain's 'Service at Old Raenshire'. Quite chuffed with this leather armor design!

Forgot to post here! For @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social's recent show 'Memories Become Dreams', I wrangled a large (for me!) mixed media piece that cause me such grief but I think it worked??

Mixed media piece, of a submerged head in a sea of gold. Moth wings hover to either side, as well as a halo of stars. The eyes are also leaking gold. Based on a dream I had, of being swallowed by molten metal. Mixed media piece, of a submerged head in a sea of gold. Moth wings hover to either side, as well as a halo of stars.
