Hello #PortfolioDay ♥️

I’m a self-taught artist who creates expressive illustrations and abstract art. I’m fascinated by human psychology and the worlds of dreams, memory, and longing.

An ink, watercolor, and color pencil bust illustration of a male clown in a vintage costume. He holds a golden harp and looks wistfully up into the face of the crescent moon with two teardrops on his cheek. The moon’s face is in profile, her eyes closed peacefully, a candle burning on the edge of the crest. The image is framed in bright red curtains, and yellow stars dot the black sky. Signed Nightmare Atelier. An ink and watercolor illustration of a life-like female android laying upside down over a mossy rock, with only one side of her face visible. Framing her figure is a sunny canopy of trees. She has white skin, green with moss and dappled with yellow sunlight. Ivy is growing over her body and around her neck, splaying out like long hair. A large panel is missing from her back, and inside wires and gears can be seen, as well as a tiny brown chipmunk. In the bottom right, it is signed Nightmare Atelier. An ink illustration of two female clowns in vintage costumes. One sits on the ground with her back to the viewer, and one stands, leaning down toward her companion, as if for a kiss. Beside them is a single juggling club. They are lit by a harsh spotlight, on a background of black, and the mood is intimate. Signed Nightmare Atelier. A dreamy abstract pastel painting in pinks, purples, and blues. It gives a soft calm feeling as well sharp and dark.

A dreamy ink and watercolor drawing depicting a female harlequin seated on the edge of a purple crescent moon. Below her stands a man dressed as a tramp, holding and lightly kissing her hand. They wear clothing that is a combination of vintage clown costume and modern punk and goth styles. At the base of the frame are pale purple clouds, and the background is a dark wash of ink dotted with yellow star shapes. It is signed Nightmare Atelier.

Reckoning
#art #humanart
Abstract dominated by purples and blues. Filled with creatures that crawl or fly or walk. There is something to be done, a group task for isolationists. See the faces for further instruction.

Is it too early to post her again? She feels like my winter mascot this year.

Reintroduction post:

Hello! My name is Mike, and I create traditional art. I mostly use watercolor, but I like to experiment with other media now and then.
A portrait painted in coffee: a woman’s face in profile. Her hair is long and full of butterflies. A sleepy crescent moon below the branches of a leafless tree, which stands on a curling rocky ledge. A clockwork aquanaut with a glass sphere head full of mechanical components is greeted by sea creatures. Five odd little monsters hanging out in a wicker basket.

Monster Mash
#neverplayanythingthesamewaytwice #maynewsufferingstormentyoursoul #everyonecarriesaroundtheirownmonsters
Monsters form a band, and rock out at a Halloween gig. Dracula and Mummy play guitar, Creature lays down the bass line and Wolfie pounds the skins. The Monster hits a triangle arrhythmically as Bride shrieks out the vocals. Amazing show. Catch them if you dare. Sketch art by Don Rice.

Welcome back, artists!

Quote post with an old piece you still like!

This one is from 2023, and was called “Compartmentalization.” #darkart
Color pencil diptych drawing. The right depicts a dark, swirling abstract mass, punctuated with bright colors. The left depicts a beautiful statuesque woman, with her hands crossed lightly over her chest, and a vacant look in her averted gaze.

I draw mythical creatures and shapeshifters with watercolor, under influence of early 20th century book illustration + 2000s manga 😌

From 'Beyond The Fields We Know: An Almanac or Midwestern Prairie Spirits.'
Image: a naiad, a freshwater spirit, emerges from dark water, her skin pale and semi-translucent. Long pale hair drags back into the water. A webbed hand emerges from the water in an uncertain gesture.

Moons ago, hunters set out to catch the nymph at Tytophe grotto. The bones of these men still rest in the shallows, killed with a glance.

While most of my holiday paintings were done on a smaller scale, this was a full-sized painting. 3/3

Figure detail from WINTER ENCHANTMENT featuring a grand winter faerie conjuring a snowflake star atop a tree while smaller faeries decorate it with lights in a circular dance. Detail from WINTER ENCHANTMENT featuring a troop of ice fairies dancing with ballerina-like grace around a tree while adding brilliant white lights. Background detail from WINTER ENCHANTMENT featuring an elf poking out of a snow burdened tree to hold up the artist's sigil, the stylized letters M and W combined within a circle.

Evie details.

I really struggle with the holidays, but I think Evie would enjoy them. She’d like listening to ghost stories and giving repaired toys as gifts 🎁🧸🎀

#ocsky #oc #doll
Closeup ink drawing of a wind up doll holding a small doll version of herself. She has medium brown skin, blue yarn hair, and golden eyes. A teal stuffed animal rabbit is also in frame. Close up ink drawing of Evie’s tools and toys, including sewing scissors, buttons, yarn, rabbit stuffed animals, and a small crocheted cat. Evie’s legs can be seen wearing striped stockings and boots; her legs are stuck with sewing pins.
