old-school (or just old) goth sans makeup staring with wide-eyed wonder at the beautiful art that is life in its infinite variation (with a little bit of anger at society's inhumanity thrown in) https://www.redbubble.com/people/BulletproofGoth/shop?asc=u

Evenings greetings.
Off on a tour tomorrow morning. Some 1200+ kms over the next couple of days.

Pretty satisfied with this one.

May your evening be stationary 🖤

Air BnB accounts for 160,000 properties that used to be long term rentals.

Air BnB started in 2012 with 5k homes on its books.

In 2018 it had 80k it now has projections of 200k by the end of this year.

Rents have risen by 44% in the last 6yrs!

Investors are the problem not immigrants.

May your day bring you practice. 🖤

A grayscale silhouette of a ballet dancer gracefully balancing en pointe with one leg extended high. The scene is dramatic against a black background, conveying elegance.

Evening greetings.

A little different.
Not quite what I'm aiming for so expect some similar drawings to this until I hit the target.

Can you see what I've tried to do? It may be more obvious in the greyscale.

Definitely addicted.
Couldn't help myself.
Quick skoodles.
Tattoos, perhaps.
Can you see the birds?

#art #drawing #skoodle #pencil #charcoal #eye #gothart #tattoo #birdeye

A charcoal and pencil sketch of a human eye with detailed shading. The eye gazes upward, conveying curiosity. Soft shadows define the eyelid and lashes.

A surreal pencil drawing of an eye with intricate, swirling patterns and textures. The eye is crying, surrounded by abstract shapes and lines.

ok so I may be addicted to sketching.
I'd say a quick skoodle but guess how long it took me to do this...?

It's my birthday! 🎉🎂

If you see this please consider sharing my art, it really does mean a lot to me!

Two men sit on a chair, one straddling it sideways on top of the other's lap, one leg dangling over the chair's arm. They lean against each other, the lower supporting the second, leaning into each other as if falling asleep, heads touching, limbs falling limp. Meanwhile the chair they sit in catches fire, threatening to consume them completely. One of the men regards the flames with unconcerned, open eyes, the other remains unmoved, as if the fire cannot wake him.

An angelic androgynous-masculine being with multiple pairs of wings crouched down on a ground spattered with gold. They have dark skin, long curly white hair, and cyan and red eyes. They are garbed in a white flowing garment which pools around them on the ground, and gold jewelry. They are seen from a high vantage point, the character looking up and reaching their hand to touch some unknown surface, which ripples where their finger displaces it. This clear surface is covered with floating blue flowers and petals. Art fight drawing for Dovexii.

A man stands, staring directly at the viewer from a low angle. His left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with visible machine parts. He is wearing worn-out clothing reminiscent of Vietnam era combat clothing mixed with punk aesthetic and advanced future tech. Over one shoulder is slung a mix of AK-47 and electric guitar, the neck extending down the barrel. He stands in a foggy scene surrounded by pipes, tubes, electric panels, and wires. He is smoking a cigarette. While there is nothing in the image to suggest this, you now know his name is Truant.

An illustration of a fairy standing on top of a bobbin of thread. She is wearing a patchwork skirt and a flowing gathered top. She has an apron through which she has threaded pins and needles and she is carrying a thimble within which she has gathered scraps of fabric and thread. Behind her is a tomato shaped pin cushion. Her hair is fashioned to resemble two yarn balls. Her purple and cyan wings are spread out behind her.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Day's greetings.

Thank fcuk it's Friday.
May your day be fcuk-free 🖤

A weekend without drawing for me, I think

#art #drawing #pencil #charcoal #portrait #face #cat #warrior

Constructive criticism requested, please, given the time I've spent on this, I'd really appreciate it

"Warrior"

Pencil drawing of a woman with a headdress and serious expression, alongside a cat. Textured patterns cover both faces, creating an enigmatic tone.

BPG @werealldying.bsky.social · 4d

I think it's almost done.
Except I'll probably scan it then pick the crap out of it and start "fixing" it.

Except the eyes and the expression.

10 hours so far.

Sheesh. Lol.

Sleep well.

#art #pencildrawing #charcoaldrawing #portrait #warrior #cat

Close-up sketch of intense, shadowy eyes on textured paper. The drawn eyes are expressive, with deep lines suggesting focus and determination.

Greed & power has corrupted politics.
Corporate donations should be banned & genuinely independent candidates selected and endorsed by the people of an electorate should have their campaigns funded by the state.
We need to elect a ‘house of representatives’ instead of a cosy duopoly
