Greetings...this is a pinned post letting you know I draw complicated horror using micron pens, hands, paper and eyes.

My instagram is instagram.com/inkrituals and you can hit me up for collaborations, work and commissions at inkrituals[at]gmail[dot]com
A swirling grim psychedelic maelstrom rising up into a universal plane. In the center of it all, a face with bloated lips and hollow torn open eye sockets which are surrounded by shuttering thirsty grotesque pores. Trypophobic tentacles pour out of the being’s mouth and entangle around a triangular structure which pierces it’s own flesh. An automatic semi-abstract drawing, done in ink and colored in a purple pink to olive green gradient. A malformed face, hollow black empty eyesockets, a gaping mouth sprouting multiple rows of teeth and eggs. Wearing two crowns revealing a skull in the flesh. A black and white pen and ink illustration. Stippling technique. In a library bathroom a kneeling woman holds a child by the head, as her face lengthens, unravels and contorts into a mosquito-esque visage; now a makeshift fleshy proboscis feeding off the tears and essence of her victim. Her eyes hollow, here teeth swirling around the newly formed appendage. Het couple are sitting upright on their bed, in a dark bedroom. Their faces are a grotesque merged together squishy tendrily trypophobic mess. The man has a lethal side-comb and the woman short hair. The piece is hand-drawn in a detailed ink style, in black and white.

Haven't posted on here in a loooooong long while, so here's a new quickie to rectify that, presented to you in Queas-o-vision. Eat fascists, vomit stars.

Hand-drawn ink illustration, in queasy green and purplish color. Showing a mass of flesh rising up to a starlit night sky. A face with hollowed out black eyes and protruding spiky melty flesh, with double rows of teeth in it's gaping open mouth. Behind it a human face smothered in tendrils swallowing a thick mass of bulbous flesh.

An ink illustration in a decaying shade of beige. In total darkness, a street lamp shines a beam of light, illuminating the dust particles, smoke and moths...as well as the figure of a woman in a Fall t-shirt, a tattered skirt and mules. Holding a cigarette, although she doesn't seem to have a mouth. Nor any hair for that matter. Just a pair of glowing white "eyes". Her right arm is waving at me, although not really an arm anymore, but a collection of massive insect-like appendages...attached to a beautiful slab of spectral meat, filled with mouths, eyes and teeth, anatomies not of the usual kind.

Greetings #Portfolioday ,

I draw complicated horror art using my hands, eyes, brain, paper, micron pens and patience.

Open for book covers, illustrations, comics and any interesting commissions. Used to do band art too and if I dig your band, I'll gladly do so again.

A portrait of a face now completely transformed. Multiple 'eyes' rest in two dark hollow spaces. The eyes are like pustules with a pinhole revealing miniature white orbs inside. The face is bald, covered in teeth which spiral around the length of it. The nasal cavity is hollow, akin to a skull. The mouth is just a mess of holes and teeth, with two bulbous sacks protruding at the bottom. Two insect like appendages spurt from each side of the head. The ex-person, is wearing a dirty white vest. In the background, a tall dark antenna like structure sits silent against a night sky. Illustration of a being looking up at the nightsky, smiling. She has long hair, Her mouth is covered in bulges and pustules and She has 6 eyes, nestled in deep vertical flesh holes in pairs down Her forehead, looking different directions. Behind her, buildings are sprawled out, framing the clear starry night. An ink illustration in a decaying shade of beige. In total darkness, a street lamp shines a beam of light, illuminating the dust particles, smoke and moths...as well as the figure of a woman in a Fall t-shirt, a tattered skirt and mules. Holding a cigarette, although she doesn't seem to have a mouth. Nor any hair for that matter. Just a pair of glowing white "eyes". Her right arm is waving at me, although not really an arm anymore, but a collection of massive insect-like appendages...attached to a beautiful slab of spectral meat, filled with mouths, eyes and teeth, anatomies not of the usual kind. A woman's face has twisted outward and multiplied, 2 faces carrying the same ecstatic creepy smile and blank reveling eyes. One has risen through her upper back and one is emerging from the top side of her head. In contrast, her skull is being pushed out from the right side of the head, framed by messy black hair, while a new more monstrous visage is vomiting forth a tendril along with multitude of larval beads from the eyes and mouth.

Haven't posted here in some time due to drawing, a lot, for a whole bunch of projects. Here's a process clip though!

An oldie...I was absolutely compelled to tell the story of Michael and the love for his mom Evelyn, in five acts surrounding the main piece. Glorious character, glorious scene.

Inks shot of an illustration based on the film 'Burial Ground'. In an upright pentagon, various zombies from the film interplay, with the main one holding up a scythe which pops out of the pentagon's boundaries. On each corner, the story of Peter Bark and his mother's breast unfolds.

Shirt design (and logo) I conjured up for the mighty Hexenbrett.

#heavymetal #blackmetal #horror #giallo #horrorartist #horrorart #darkart
A monochrome ink illustration for the band Hexenbrett. Their logo is at the top and the bottom, the text 'The Sound of the Bloody Iris'. A person in black clothing, a spiked belt and spiked armbands, wearing a pale almost porcelain doll mask with flowing long hair, is digging up a grave with their bare hands. We see the night scene from an inside-of-the-grave-pov, along with an exposed corpse and spiderwebs. The tombstone has a creepy face, an inverted cross an the names Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolette.

One of the best horror films via Japan, ever made. Just wanted to make absolutely sure everyone knows this. (This is one where you absolutely definitely avoid the US-ified version.) Kiyoshi Kurosawa is untouchable when it comes to this and 'Cure'.

Artwork for the recent Frizzi 2 Fulci tour. I've done lots of 'Zombie' related artwork over the years and I've begun to approach it with even more trepidation, as I always need to keep it original and interesting.

Hand-drawn ink Illustration revolving around the film 'Zombie' by Lucio Fulci. A massive corroding split open maggot Zombie head hovers across the NYC skyline, within to concentric red circles. Within the head, 3 zombies from the film come towards us. Olga Karlatos and the famous splinter scene framing them, with the Maestro himself in the lower corner.

Day off merits a second reading of this. Beautifully soul-annihilating stuff by BWS.
