#art #Gallery #painting #Bedouin #Eyes #Ifrit #canvas

Acrylic painting on canvas, "Bedouin Eyes" Lovely honey brown eyes peer out from a vibrant red head wrap. Deep shadows contrast the colors of life.

Acrylic painting on canvas, "Ifrit" A powerful djinn of fire, dances in flames in a dark field of poppies. In the corners beautiful blue and teal patterns contrast against the oranges and reds.

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · 2d

Panel 1: A girl with poofy dark brown hair, brown skin, and yellow beads holding the hair in a "space buns" hairstyle, is looking back at you while sitting in a computer chair in front of a drawing tablet. She wears a purple sweatshirt with a yellow "stitch" pattern going down the sleeves, and has apparently drawn a golden-armored knight standing on a cliff with billowing clouds and night stars in the background. She is labeled "illustrator" and says "It took me 10 hours to draw this!"

Panel 2: Shen points at her with his right hand, a manically smug expression on his face and the other hand on his hip. He is labeled "comic artist" and says "HAH!! Just ONE drawing in 10 hours??"

Panel 3: Shen continues speaking, pointing at himself with his thumb. He says "I'D have to get like TWENTY drawing done in that time."

Panel 4: Behind the still-smug shen is a slouched, deformed, horrible beast of a man with a drawing tablet in one hand and the other hand holding the pen, and also strapped to a plank of wood for wrist stabilization. It wears only a ragged loin cloth. The neck is long and extends far forward, and the hair is wild, going in all directions. In the darkness of the face two small eyes glint. This creature is labeled "animator"

"Ghost Bride"

#watercolor #artsky

My watercolor painting of a woman in a traditional Japanese wedding outfit "Shiromuku". Her body is almost transparent, with her skeleton visible in a red glow under the clothes. She's holding a bloody red spider lily bouquet.

5 days until my Artist Meet and Greet! It's at the First Unitarian Church in DSM at 10:30 am

#art #gallery #watercolor #canvas #Acrylic #painting #Lumen #Metropolis #Vibrant #visage

Watercolor painting, "Vibrant Visage" a prismatic expression dripping colors of all hues, painting a face against a empty white background. Barely visible hands are cupped to capture the vibrant colors, lines of drips escaping through their fingers.

Acrylic painting on canvas, "Lumen Metropolis" An underwater cityscape light up in dramatic teals. Bronze lined, glass skywalks link the towers of metal and stone. Bioluminescent life forms gently float about, timeless as the beginning of time and lasting till the end of time.

Amanda Wong @amandawtwong.bsky.social · 3d

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

6 days until my Artist Meet and Greet! Can't wait for October 26th

#art #Autumn #Effigy #magma #mistress #watercolor #lava #skull

Watercolor painting, "Autumn Effigy" A trinity of fox skulls crowned in Autumn foliage of rich reds and golds. A new growth of vines creeping through a skeletal ribcage reaching for a heart. An internal and eternal balance of death and rebirth.

Digital painting, "Magma's Mistress" Set in against a dark rocky landscape a lava flow burns it's way out. Smoke bellows all around. On a dark pedestal a naked woman, seemingly carved from obsidian. She drapes herself in a long flowing wrap of magma, the red hot glow lights all it touches.

7 days until my Artist Meet and Greet at the First Unitarian Church on October 26 @10:30 am in DSM

#art #gallery #Crow #boy #deer #lady #witchcore

Digital painting, "Crow Boy" the orange sunset hue in the backdrop, the rain falling and the purple foliage framing a couple seeking sanctuary. A crow skull headed man holds a woman, who embraces him back seeking warmth and safety. Crow boy's wings encircled them both, a subtle rainbow shines off his black wings.

Digital painting, "Deer Lady" Deer Lady hunts down men who harm women and children. Set in a foggy, green saturated forest. Deer Lady is naked but for her her black hooven feet and a Deer skull head ornament, gold strands woven on her antlers. She tracks the bloody bootprints of her prey.

Eight days for the Art Gallery Meet and Greet countdown which will be hosted October 26 @ 10:30 am

#art #gallery #watercolor #woman #Medusa #gold #Ichor #leshy #fairy

Digital painting, "Loving Leshy" an ethereal blue spirit caresses a Leshen, a skeletal forest creature. Life and wonder embracing death and renewal

Digital painting, "Medusa Etched in Ichor" a dark tone sculpture of a woman with broken off appendages, the wounds and cracks leak a golden ichor. Her braided hair, a nest of black vipers. Her earing a symbol of Athena, her Goddess. Was she cursed or was she blessed? Either way, may she never be harmed by a man again

Set up for the Pleasant Hill Fall Market. It's been tricky figuring out different display techniques but each event has definitely been a learning experience. This is the last chance to come see us, for the rest of the year. So come on by and check out our cute displays.

The countdown to my Art Gallery Meet and Greet starts now! My full gallery is housed at the First Unitarian Church in Des Moines. My Meet and Greet is Oct 26, 10:30 am. I've decided to post some of my gallery pieces each day till then

#art #gallery #watercolor #woman #water #Wraith #winter #breath

Watercolor painting, "Water Wraith" a lovely woman floating in blue water. Her heart just in reach but is it a trap?

Digital painting, "Winter's Breath" a naked woman, a gold fern in her long auburn hair, resting in a snowy forest. A gold purple star filled sky in the background. Her breath fogging in the air forming antlers with gold chains hanging from the prongs.
