A single flame can be both wound and weapon.
Vessel of Burning Quiet — an abstract expression of restrained rage and the silent heat of being alive.

— The Asylum Art -
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #art #cptsd
Vessel of Burning Quiet is a study in tension — a single ribbon of red cascading through the void. The curve suggests both motion and containment, like a pulse trying to escape the body that holds it. The deep black background absorbs light, creating the sensation of immense stillness, while the red acts as a living element: blood, flame, memory, desire, anger, or life-force. The piece holds both violence and grace: a quiet fire that doesn’t scream, but smolders. It speaks to the moments when intensity has no voice, yet refuses to die.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of three feathers, with an orange curved title: “All Under One Wing”. There are two smaller feathers in front of a central large feather. The left front feather is the trans flag (horizontal light blue, pink, white, pink, light blue), and the right front feather is the asexual flag (horizontal purple, white, grey, black)(the flag is usually the other way round, but I like it better this way - artistic choice). The large feather is a horizontal rainbow, with graded colours from the top: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Inspiration and some reference: Anton Seder.

“Whatever you want today, piss off. I‘m not in the mood.”

(Not me; I am a delight. 😁💜)
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a black parrot, or maybe a raven, or something in between, standing on a stick (or a bone), against a red background that gets darker further down. The bird’s wings are flared, and their feather crest raised, all in silhouette, except for the top feathers on one wing, which reflect the red light. Their head is in profile, and their eye is reflecting a point of light (or maybe their eyes glow; I’m not sure, it’s a very scary raven-parrot).

Much like water hemlock, pickled beholder eyes are delicious in their first year, but extremely toxic past that.
Also like water hemlock, beholder eyes can cause death to the unwary forager.

Mmm, pickles.
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a label for a jar of Beholder eyes. The label is round, with a red border with little eyes, a green rectangle with orange lettering that says “Beholder Eyeballs - Just the Small Ones!”. The O in “Beholder” is a beholder eye, with red eyelids and yellow iris and black slit pupil. There is a red beholder eye tentacle above the rectangle, with four red polyps that appear to be waving at the viewer. Below the rectangle, three red eye tentacles are peeking out, with two red polyps on either side. The eyes have yellow irises with black slit pupils. In my head, pickled beholder eyes are delicious as long as they are under a year old, like water hemlock (a real plant that foragers mistake for carrots; they’re edible in the first year, but also the most toxic plant in the U.S. after a year). Also like water hemlock, eating beholder eyeballs can result in death.

“The Round Pond” by Esther Borough Johnson (British) - Oil on canvas / 1934 - Wolverhampton Art Gallery (England) #WomenInArt #WomanArtist #EstherBoroughJohnson #WomenArtists #ModernBritishArt #art #ArtText #BritishArt #DogArt #1930sArt #WolverhamptonArtGallery #blueskyArt #WomensArt #BritishArtist
Painted in 1934, this scene of Kensington Gardens captures interwar urban leisure as distinctly feminine, sociable, and modern. Two women settle on the close-cropped grass beside London’s Round Pond, their pale dresses and hats catching the milky summer light. The nearer figure, in a softly patterned gown with a red sash and bow, turns toward us with a composed, knowing half-smile. Behind her, a friend lounges in a bright blue dress and brimmed hat playing with a small white and black terrier who stands upright to beg for food at the edge of a white picnic cloth. A pink teapot, cups, and sliced fruit sit carefully arranged in the foreground. Beyond, the still pond, toy sailing boats, strolling figures, and dense green trees complete a shimmering, open-air London park scene. The women’s relaxed postures, fashionable dress, and companionable dog suggest autonomy and pleasure in public space, while the tea service and play of boats tie domestic ritual to cosmopolitan outdoors. Johnson’s light, broken brushwork and high-keyed palette emphasize movement and reflected light rather than strict detail, aligning her with contemporaries who translated Impressionist-inflected color into British park and garden subjects. The painting invites us into a gentle spectacle of everyday joy at a moment when such calm was historically fragile. Esther Borough Johnson, a British painter trained at Birmingham School of Art, Chelsea Art School, and Hubert von Herkomer’s school at Bushey, built her career with portraits, genre scenes, and floral studies that foregrounded women, children, and cultivated landscapes. A regular exhibitor at major London societies, she negotiated a male-dominated art world while working in close dialogue with her husband, Ernest Borough Johnson, yet maintained a distinct sensibility rooted in observational intimacy and luminous color. Her style was attentive to place, affectionate towards sitters, and quietly highlighted women’s everyday lives and leisure.

“Where light meets chaos, color becomes confession.”
Collision of Color — an abstract expression of conflict and harmony, where every shade bleeds into its opposite.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #art
Collision of Color captures the raw tension between chaos and unity. Bold layers of red, yellow, blue, and green clash and merge across the canvas, their thick impasto surfaces scarred with drips and ridges. The painting is a visual symphony of opposites — warmth and cold, violence and calm — suspended in perpetual movement. It embodies the emotional turbulence of creation itself: where destruction births beauty, and contrast becomes connection.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of two frogs on lily pads floating on a pond, with a third frog being pushed under water. The left frog is blue, facing right, leaning on an elbow while making a “sexy” face at the orange frog on the right, and pushing a red frog under water with their other arm. The frog is saying “Hey babe, this frog bothering you?”. The right frog is orange, is sitting upright (in a way frogs do not, but go with it), and has their left hand over their mouth. They are looking up, rolling their eyes, and thinking “grrr.”. The red frog has an eye, their nose, and their hands above water. Their hands are grabbing the lily pad. Bottom right, large lettering says “Mating Season Kinda Sucks.”. Very small lettering underneath says “You are not required to participate in gendered norms!”. I’m all over the place, here. Don’t flirt if you don’t want to? No one is required to get married, or have kids? IDK. Background is lily pads and flowers, and rushes growing at the edge of the pond. Inspiration: Anton Seder.

This was an attempt to capture the moment when I see something so beautiful, I’m temporarily stunned.
Also, I may cry. But not sad crying. Beauty crying.

It’s a thing.
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of an emoji-type round yellow face, with red lips opened in a slight smile, huge violet eyes with black pupils, black winged eyeliner, and turquoise and purple feathers draped over and on the right cheek. There are gold and white stars in their eyes, and Art Nouveau-style lettering underneath says “ENCHANTED!” in gold, with turquoise feather stripes above and below, and a sark purple background. Main background is white.

おお,いたい (Ouch! That hurts!) by 歌川国芳 / Utagawa Kuniyoshi with 歌川芳とり / Utagawa Yoshitori (Japanese) - Color woodblock print / 1852 - British Museum (London, UK) #WomenInArt #UtagawaKuniyoshi #Kuniyoshi #浮世絵 #ukiyoe #JapaneseArt #art #WoodblockPrint #猫 #CatArt #歌川芳とり #BlueskyArt #歌川国芳 #BritishMuseum
This design belongs to a series pairing fashionable figures with “celebrated treasures” of Japan’s coasts, mixing tourism, parody, and everyday pleasures. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川国芳), famed for heroic warriors and mischievous cats, working with his pupil Utagawa Yoshitori (歌川芳とり) echo the woman’s yelp with the fisherman’s struggle seen in the inset art: the cat’s claws and octopus’s suckers become parallel jokes about grasping, entangling, and possibly the hazards of desire. A half-length young Japanese woman in a striped blue kimono patterned with tiny, crest-like waves tilts gently left against a soft grey ground. Her pale face and delicate features are framed by a glossy black coiffure pinned with gold and coral ornaments in her hair. In her arms a plump cream-colored cat wearing a red patterned collar wriggles and digs in its claws, muzzle lifted toward the woman's chin as she twists slightly, caught in the instant of sharp surprise that matches the title’s cry, “Ouch!” Above, a rectangular inset opens like a distant window onto blue sea and rocky coast, where a fisherman in a small boat is beset by a huge octopus, tentacles flailing against the waves. Red cartouches balance the composition, linking text, place, and playful drama. The woman is an idealized urban beauty rather than a portrait, inviting us to read ourselves into the scene. Her oversized pet cat embodies both cherished companion and unruly spirit. Created late in Kuniyoshi’s career, when censorship pushed artists toward witty allusion, the print showcases his inventive color, humane humor, and affection for animals while celebrating regional specialties, modern travel, and ukiyo-e's ( 浮世 aka the floating world) shared visual imagination.

This one required a fair bit of pencil work before I could start inking. I was going to do gold over the scales, but I really like how the red turned out, and didn’t want to cover it up. #ihavealotofredmarkers
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a red wingless dragon climbing up a sheer cliff face. The dragon has their back to the viewer, their body vertical against the cliff, head facing right, forked tongue out to taste the air. Their four gold-clawed, five-digit feet are splayed, grasping crags on the cliff. Their body is curved in a snake-like shape, with large pointed scales all the way to the end of their tail. The dragon has small webbed head frills (like fish fins) on either side of their head, like ears. Their eyes have yellow irises and slit vertical pupils, and they are looking towards sunlight, suggested by raking yellow lines from top right to bottom left. The cliff is grey, cool in the shadow, and warmer where the rays of sun are hitting the rock.

I thought I would make this helpful chart to show the general size of yesterday’s little snorgle compared to your average wizard with a beard (non-specific gender). Because. 😁💜
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing showing a chart square titled “Pocet Dragon/Wizard size comparison”, showing a tiny red dragon and a bearded wizard in a grey robe and hat, holding a staff. The wizard’s robe and hat are covered with gold stars, and they are pointing at the red dragon (on their left). The wizard has a long grey beard, but gender is not specified (or relevant, for that matter). The dragon has their forelegs up against the side of the chart. The chart is marked “cliff” on the vertical axis, and “ground” on the horizontal axis. The vertical size has a line at the height on the dragon, and is marked “pocket dragon 4-6in.”, and the text is surrounded by red stars and gold dots. Further up, the vertical side is marked with a line at roughly the wizard’s head, and is marked “average wizard 5-6ft.”, with the text surrounded by gold stars and dots. The title is also surrounded with gold stars and dots. The background is plain, with raking rays of yellow sunlight top right to lower left around the wizard. Pocket dragons are great! They don’t breathe fire, but can produce enough steam to get the wrinkles out of a cotton handkerchief.

Ghost Hare throws a good Halloween party, even if SOMEONE is still fighting with the Sundew next door! 👻🎃
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of Quico Vicens-Picatto’s monsters (a beholder and a carnivorous plant) at the Halloween party of my OC Ghost Hare. The carnivorous plant is purple, and holding a purple drink in a martini glass in one of their three biting flower arms, dipping a head petal in to drink (they have one eye in the center of their head flower). A Siamese cat is poking at one of the other flower arms on the left. The plant is glaring at a red beholder, whose eye tentacles and polyps are all pulling away, while their center huge eye is looking at the plant. The plant is saying “And then she says… oh, I’m sorry, am I BORING you?!” to the beholder, who is saying “Huh? No, no! I just want, erm… a snack!”, while gesturing to the snack table. Above the snack table, Ghost Hare is floating, smiling, and holding a bright orange cocktail with a whole carrot in it. There are two tables with orange tablecloths, right and left; the right table has a bowl of chips and pink cupcakes, the left has a carved pumpkin, a skull, and a candle. The back wall has a big black banner with “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” written on it in orange. Bottom right is written: “idea and carnivorous plant by Quico Vicens-Picatto, inspired by his beholder! :)”. Both plant and beholder are not nearly as elegant as his, but I (and the cat!) are having fun! Happy Halloween!

*hums in Art Nouveau*
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of my OCs The Watchers (two of my OCs, small creatures with no faces under their hoods, mouse-like ear bumps, robes, and gold hands). Their robes are a brighter orange than usual. Top left is a white text box with lettering (all text is hand lettered) that says: “I PUT MY OCs THROUGH SO MUCH…”. The left Watcher is facing right, and has their hood pulled all the way over their head, and their ear bumps are flat on their head. Their right hand is facepalming their hood (who knows if there’s a face under there; not us!), their left hand at their side. They have huge feathery wings in red, blue, and yellow, like a macaw. They are saying “She’s still obsessed with Anton Seder, isn’t she?!!”. The right Watcher is facing left, and looking over their shoulder at their wings and robe. Their hood looks startled; their ear bumps are straight out to either side. They have wings like fish fins, with long neon green ribs with pink spotted skin in between. They are saying “Sweet Prophet, WTF am I WEARING?!!!”. Both sets of wings were inspired by the work of Art Nouveau artist Anton Seder. I love breaking the fourth wall (Bob says they’re 2D, so it’s the third wall, but I’m not listening. La, la, la.) Background is sand and deep blue sky dotted with stars.
