Inês Antunes' Faves

Inktober drawing.

Drawing inks on Claybord.

WIP. Pandemic self-portrait series. Portrait No2. There are always a couple of ways to look at a situation.

In the language of alchemy, two primal essences- one burning, one volatile.

The Badger

The monsters we create A collection of creatures born from our impact and existance on Earth. This is a work in progress project, it doesn't yet have a name, but the story becomes more clear every day. Soon I will have more details about it, until then take care, this runner is taking a real shape and it's after you. He is the money maker, the greedy, the selfish buyer of unnecessary things with money he doesn't have. Sounds familyar? 7x7 cm linoprint © Maria ! Balan, 2018

the next piece for #inktober environmental issues series continues with #day10 word #flowing. It's quite hard to correlate a situation with a word, but this is how flowing and plastic waste ended up looking like. How much plastic waste do I produce in a day? In a week? How about a year? Nature is full of plastic waste and is overflowing everywhere. In the rivers, seas and oceans... Next time they ask you at the supermarket if you need a plastic bag, think again...

We continue the #inktober environmental issues series with the #day19 word: #scorched and for this word I tried to illustrate the Urban Heat Island effect. This takes place in metropolitan areas that are warmer than the rural areas surrounding them. The main cause of the UHI effect is the alteration of land surfaces (concrete and asphalt). Heat waste produced by people and their tools (like vehicles and industry) is another cause and also the decreased amount of vegetation. UHIs often have lower air and water quality that have a negative effect on the environment of these areas. It is also considered to be a possible contribution to global warming. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

#Swollen is the word for #inktober #day17. Because the city I live in is swollen from cars, buildings, humans, rats, pigeons, dirt and trash I considered the word to be proper for the problem of urbanization. Even if it's a natural transformation, it comes with a lot of issues. I see it as a concrete and steel monster eating the nature that stands in its way. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

Played Gris last night, which was such an absolute masterpiece of a video game in every possible way.

Sticky-note warmup ft: Mako, No-face, bunny vs bird sword fight, star lovers, and friends

Tonight is the night of the most metal moon of them all! I hope to draw beneath it and maybe absorb some werewolf powers, fingers crossed!

Recently acquired a sudden affection for these beautiful long leggy crab babes, I hope you can one day feel the same!!

Inspired by the song "Leisure Bee" by the wonderful band : Tacocat
