Manuel Fallmann-Kerrutt @mindistortion.tv · 1d

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm Manuel and I make mostly spooky art using charcoal and digital means!

🎨 mindistortion.tv
🛒 inprnt.com/gallery/mindistortiontv/

Charcoal drawing of an anglerfish in darkness, its esca illuminating dark eyes and sharp teeth.

Eerie digital painting of a person sitting hunched on a wall. The image is mostly monochrome, except for slight haze in the background and a warm halo in the subject's hand.

Gritty charcoal drawing of a weary skeleton wearing a thorny crown. The drawing has a variety of textures ranging from soft to rough, with the crown and teeth drawn in heavy, gestural marks.

solidarity I’m also in the pharmacy line and the guy in front of me keeps turning around, putting his hands on his hips, and looking at me for a couple minutes at a time

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Null. Creatures and constructed worlds are my focus. Illustration, tattoo, and sculpture are my tools of choice. I'd describe my approach as a "fantasy for more than just escapism" kind of thing.

my friend Ahmad and his family of 11 need your help. following the ceasefire, ahmad returned to his home in the north of Gaza alone. they can't afford the transportation cost for the rest of their family to move from the south, nor the cost of rebuilding. please support them ❤️‍🩹

rowan finn 🐚 comms open @bigoldeels.bsky.social · 1d

listen my seasonal depression is so severe I’m basically a corpse from december-march so there’s a part of me that enjoys the lingering warm weather but I really shouldn’t be picking tomatoes and getting mosquito bites in mid october

A lot of feelings that are more than words

(I guess, in a way, #paleoart)

A digital drawing, few simple drawings on a dark background. From top to the bottom, it starts with half of the Earth seen with its continents being placed like in the Middle Ordovician. Below it is a line, showing a process of life - from one little star, to dividing cells, to an embryo (it's all different creatures - fish, dog, tadpole, and a human).
Then, series of little drawings, showing different stages of life in different things. A plant emerging from the soil, a larvae, baby birds with their bright open mouths, pregnant horse with a star on its belly, very old human, and a dry plant in a pot with a leaf falling from it.
A fossil of a crinoid can be seen on the background, in some places nicely preserved, in some - scattered around, with segments seen as little stars.
The text on the picture says: "Let sunshine touch the memory of me again"

Following the previous part of it, from top to the bottom: mammal bones scattered around, a fossil of a trilobite on a rock, human remains, a piece of a fossilized plant, little drawing of an ammonite, a part of a thylacine seen in a little square, and in a square next to it - plate with fossilized fish, being shattered.
Below them is a line - an ornitomimus running forward, its fossilized remains, and on the right - same remains, but scattered around in little pieces.
The text goes through the drawing, saying "I will remain. I will remain. I will remain"
The first phrase is written normally, the second is written fast. The last one is poorly written by my left hand, without looking at the screen.
