hi

Shape Of Water was a great piece of filmaking. Won a few Oscars!! This is my interpretation of Elisa with the love of her life Amphibian Man. . .

Tropical Lady carrying fruits in a beautifil beach in Colombia... Amazing memories!

The big bad wolf... hear me roar!

Love with this art because art and guitar both are my favourite ❤️

It is the best time of the year for enjoying a Little bit of winter fun! Love to be in the mountains!

Part of the book I'm working on. Certain elements will carry throughout the chapter. In this case, it will be oak leaves and mushrooms.

this cold weather is great for hugs) check out my works on instagram @olenkarka

Pencil with digital color. This is character development for a book + coloring book I'm working on. Reed is also my mascot for the time being. Patreon link to the project is in my profile.

Sketchbook doodle seems to portray my daughter teasing my son (not sure why it uploaded sideways)

*Zapp Brannigan voice* Defender of the known universe has fallen. Hopefully there is an afterlife where this alien babe is going.

Is there anyone out there that likes Robin?

There was a royal lineage in Europe that was so inbred that their jaws started getting really distended and weird. Like Jay Leno, but inbred. (I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.) Feel free to look up the Hapsburgs. I'll wait. The second picture is a Fiji mermaid and a merman. I think I want a merman tattoo. SMOLDER.

The Ford Taurus was the most boring car I could think of. This selection of doodles are all just ink on paper, applied with a brush. The black circle behind the cats was Sharpie. I had a design back there, decided I super-hated-it, and then screwed the whole thing up. Ah well. The cats are still okay.

This mermaid/siren is the type that's a man/octopus instead. I think he'd make a nice tattoo if he were cleaned up a bit.

Toys used to be so much cooler back in the day. I realize this makes me sound like a very old nerd. I also realize that I AM a very old nerd. So there's that.

I love how these nesting dolls came out. I'm also into the Dakota Fanning inspired piece on the left. Dakota's character in The Alienist is a lot of fun. I'm glad she seems to have come out of child acting fairly unscathed. We don't hear a lot of stories of her gallavanting around LA, thieving & putting substances up her schnoz. That's a pleasant change of pace for a celebrity.

Our local antiques store had a huge treasure trove of vintage Native American themed toys and gifts this weekend. I realized that 1) I'd owned a lot of them and 2) none of my friends had. It never occurred to me that my collection was particularly large or unique. Doesn't every kid have a fixation on this country's indigenous population? Apparently not. I love the visual language of the Navajo and Hopi especially. My Kachina doll collection was the bomb.

"If I die, I'm taking you with me," Ebineezer whispered into Slasher's gaping, drooling maw. The explosion was heard for miles around.

Cat astronaut and a scary murder-santa. None of this has anything to do with anything else.

I saw a man outside the library wearing a crown nestled into his cowboy hat. He was speaking swiftly, seemingly to himself, possibly freestyle rapping. Probably crazy. Then I drew some saints and stuff around him. I suspect he could use some assistance, perhaps spiritual.
