digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

Digital color illustration, title at bottom: The Split. In the foreground is a horse from the neck up in distress. Multiple human hands and fingers are pushing and pulling their way out of its mouth while a stream of black fluid pours over its head, streaming into and from its eyes and dripping down off the canvas. The background is completely taken up by a flat mass of gnarled, twisting roots that converge with scaly flesh on a single enormous eye with a horse's pupil, which is looking at the horse.

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

digital greyscale illustration. title at bottom: The Pit Guardian. a very small silhouetted person stands toward the bottom left of canvas, looking up at an immense being in front of them. the being has emerged from a large black pit in the ground. it is mostly comprised of long, waving vines that turn into masses of hair at its bottom. its head is a horse skull, and it is looking straight down at the person. located around where its "chest" is, is a black hole, which the vines curve around to create its shape. the background is mostly featureless grey, with some distant grey mountains.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.

Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

an experiment from a bit ago

#art

digital illustration with strong defined lines and flat mostly saturated color. a creature comprised of vines lifts their head with mouth very wide open. their head is a horse skull with long sharpened teeth on the bottom jaw and mushrooms growing out of parts. the vine-body continues to flow out of the mouth and spread up.

I spent some time with the young Agami Herons yesterday at Agami Island #costarica

So many youngsters are still around the colony, busy fishing in the canals. The adults are long gone now and the kids are own their own.

‘Garnet Pitta’

gouache, 19 x 25 cms.

This gorgeous bird is found in lowland tropical forests in South-east Asia where it is very difficult to see despite its plumage. It is often first detected by its haunting, whistling call.

Commissions welcome.

That Beautiful Pre-Dawn golden hour #glow

Glacier National Park September ’25

#BlueSkyArtShow #NationalParks #nature #scape #landscape #artyear #EastCoastKin

The scene is centered on a still lake that mirrors the world above it with remarkable clarity. Dark mountain silhouettes rise on both sides, framing the water like protective sentinels. Their sharp, shadowed ridges descend into soft, hazy valleys that fade into the distance. The sky glows with the quiet promise of sunrise — a band of warm orange and rose light rests just above the horizon, softening upward into pale lavender and finally the deep indigo of lingering night.

The lake’s surface is glass-smooth, reflecting the dawn colors so precisely that the boundary between water and sky nearly disappears. A faint breath of mist drifts across the water’s surface, blurring the line between reflection and reality. The left shoreline is lined with dense, dark evergreens, forming a clean edge that contrasts with the glowing sky.

Digital color illustration in portrait orientation, in aquas, blues, and purples. A humanoid being with four arms and two legs is on hands and knees. They have a horse skull for a head. They have flesh-like branches coming out of their body and chest, extending out beyond the edges of the canvas. Their head is lifted up with their mouth open, and intricate chained necklaces are hanging from their jaws and head. They are kneeling on an endless bed of roots.
