Some portrait of a friend on kind of rough paper. I like the outcome so far. Not really realistic, but kind of some smudgy style. Maybe just grainy :|

practicing putting stippling into effect on a human piece, I like this start but I want to start evolving it to be less cartoon more realistic

Quick minute post-its sketches of Remedios Varo’s surrealist paintings.

It's easy to forget that cats are actually little ghouls...they want to hunt and kill stuff almost as much as they want to cuddle up with you when it's cold (yes, they are also heat vampires). But they are also complex and amazing little fur-suited people.

Joan Miró inspired artwork.

I’ve been listening to Sanspants Super Smashbros stepdad debate. Got Kirby on the mind.

mike_sheehan_studioThis is an old one from when I was working for a toy company. I always keep a sketchbook on my desk so whenever I'm waiting for the printer etc I can doodle. This one was inspired by listening to Mimi Pond on #npr on my way to the offic

Ending the night with something a tad maximalist here!

I woke up at 5am(ish) last Sunday and not settling back to rest, I switched my radio on and hoped for the best. Next thing I know I’m half awake listening to one of Yo La Tengo’s more drone oriented songs. The track itself was 8 minutes long but felt longer… of course, this gave me ideas. What do you expect?

Had to sneak in a Barbie and Oppenheimer reference in here!

I’m no anti-natalist, that much is true, but a proud non-parent I am nevertheless… heheheh!

To scale, hyperrealistic painting of our solar system for educational purposes.

My Bitcoin wallet was compromised in a single, catastrophic transaction, resulting in the irrevocable loss of my Ethereum and Bitcoin holdings. The moment I grasped the magnitude of what had transpired, I was engulfed in a torrent of disbelief and despair. With approximately $525,000 vanished in an instant, I felt utterly adrift and uncertain about my next steps. I reached out to various Bitcoin support teams, but my efforts were met with silence, leaving me feeling abandoned in a labyrinth of confusion. I even ventured to my local police station to file a report regarding the theft, but unfortunately, the officers explained that cryptocurrency-related crimes often fall outside their jurisdiction. As I stood there, grappling with frustration and helplessness, a kind woman approached me. Sensing my distress, she handed me a note with an email address for Lee Ultimate Hacker, claiming that this recovery company could potentially help me reclaim my lost funds.I decided to reach out to Lee Ultimate Hacker using the email address she provided Leeultimatehacker@aol.com . I meticulously detailed my situation and submitted all the requisite documentation concerning my cryptocurrency holdings and the theft. To my astonishment, I received a response from Lee Ultimate Hacker within a mere 48 hours. They informed me that they had successfully traced my lost funds and identified the perpetrators responsible for the theft. This revelation was a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak and disheartening situation.

I learned the paramount importance of acting swiftly and seeking assistance from specialists who understand the intricacies of cryptocurrency recovery. Although the journey was riddled with anxiety and uncertainty, I am profoundly grateful for the support I received from Lee Ultimate Hacker. My story serves as a poignant reminder that even in the face of significant loss, there are avenues for recovery and support. I hope that by sharing this, others who find themselves in similar predicaments will realize they are not alone and that help is indeed available through dedicated services like Lee Ultimate Hacker

Like many others in USA, I learned this lesson the hard way. Last month, I fell victim to a Bitcoin investment fraud that left me financially devastated and emotionally shattered. The scheme appeared legitimate complete with professional websites, convincing testimonials, and enticing promises of high returns but it was all an elaborate ruse. By the time I realized the truth, my savings had vanished, and I was left grappling with feelings of anger, shame, and hopelessness. This forced me to question my judgment and resilience, but it also imparted a critical truth: being broken is not a sign of weakness; rather, it’s a call to rise again.Amid the turmoil, my American girlfriend became my anchor. She refused to let me surrender to despair and tirelessly researched potential solutions.

Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) “My life has been regulated by insomnia,” Bourgeois told an interviewer in 1993. “It’s something that I have never been able to understand, but I accept it.” Bourgeois learned to use these sleepless hours productively, propped up in bed with her “drawing diary,” listening to music or the hum of traffic on the streets. “Each day is new, so each drawing—with words written on the back—lets me know how I’m doing,” she said. “I now have 110 drawing-diary pages, but I’ll probably destroy some. - From Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey “I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands...” ― Louise Bourgeois “Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it, and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.” ― Louise Bourgeois #dailyrituals #inktober #LouiseBourgeois @masoncurrey

Here I bring you another new drawing challenge, instead of an inktober I will do this challenge based on horror and trauma (this challenge is also inspired by the famous goretober) for anyone who dares to draw for thirty-one days in the month of October.

You can listen to nothing but rock music and wear nothing but black clothing and only date short guys in their thirties. Those are valid preferences. Choosing not to hire people of color or refusing to let trans people use the bathroom is prejudice.

LISTEN, I STARTED PLAYING A FEW DAYS AGO AND LIKE..I BEAT LESLY..AND LIKE..IMA NEED TO MARRY HIM..DONT ASK..BUT..YEAH..

Title: Heart and Soul Medium: illustration pens on sketch book paper Style: surreal Category: illustration Created: Dec-Jan 2024-2024 Artist: Stephen J. Vattimo Heart and Soul This is preliminary drawing for a painting I am about to begin. The concept for this illustration started as a design for a pumpkin carving contest. I feel the message of the design is so important for people to hear, I decided to make it into a painting. The original design, done in pen and ink. The design only shows the two doors of the entrance to a fortress. It was designed for a live pumpkin carving event in mind. At this type of event, the carver must create their piece of art live on site with spectators watching and asking questions, and there is a time limit. The evolution of the design? I added a wall on each side of the entrance, with matching pillars. Explaining the design of the pillars The triangle top: the triune God. Representing three persons of God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. The cross shape opening in the pillars: The cross is the only path to God, to have the debt of sin satisfied. To reconcile humankind back to himself. To be released from being a slave to the Devil. To be a new creation empowered by God Spirit. Explaining the design of the entrance way(gate) The top of the entrance is in the shape of a heart, represents the seat of human passion, ambition, and allegiance. The cultic three petal flower is used to represent God in three persons united. The symbol inside the flower: God’s ministry toward humankind. Crown: Highest authority Cross: God’s loving salvation and restoration plan. The dove: Spiritualty made alive, fellowship with God, empowerment to weather the storm of life, and equip for service to God. Change in the design of the door. In the original design, one door had roses carved on it. The pattern took up the whole door. The other door had a grape vine carved on it. The pattern took up the whole door. I modified the emblem on the doors by making them smaller and simplified, so I could place them inside heart shapes, so the new images would more clearly communicate what they are meant to represent. I also added color to the emblems(color pencil) to make them clear of what they are, because of their size and the ink medium ,they were hard to interpret. Understanding the symbol of the two doors. The door with the rose inside the heart emblem represents a heart whose passions, ambitiousness, allegiance are focused on the cares, worries, and abstaining riches of the world. Only giving God lip service. I chose the rose to represent the heart of spiritual allegiance to the world, because roses are pretty, but you can’t eat them to nourish your body. They also have thorns that can cause injury to the body. So, the parallel point is, just as flower fade and turn to dust, so will the person who chases the thing of the world and has no time for God. For life is very short, we know not which will be our last breath on this side of eternity. But if a person leaves this earth without excepting the gift God offered them which is salvation from penalty of sin and given enteral life through the work that was done on the cross by God’s son. Then that soul will appear before Jesus, and just as they did not know him in their life on earth, He will tell them he knows them not. Into the lake of fire, they will spend eternity. The door with the grape vine in the heart emblem represents a heart whose passions, ambitiousness, allegiance are for God. To know Him intimately, to obey His teachings, to serve his will. I chose the grapevine to represent the heart of spiritual allegiance to God, because grapes are nourishing to the body. Jesus also used a grape vine in one of his parables. He paralleled the spiritual relationship he had with his disciples and the grapevine. He told them just as branches of a vine must depend on the base of the vine to live and bare fruit, so they must abide him to have abundant life. Abiding in Christ is not a religious act. It is outside of religion. It is an intimate relationship. Example: you can belong to a fan club of Paul McCartney and know a lot of things you have heard about him, but he doesn’t even know you exist. Where, if Paul is your father, and you have a good parent to child relationship, then you know him intimately. So, abiding in God, we commune with him through read his word and living by its teachings. It is spending time in prayer. Sharing our hearts with God and spending time listing to him. Trusting in him as our provider and giving thanks for his provision. Living our lives, with the purpose of pleasing him with the work of our hand and loving our neighbors in the workplace as well as in the community. Just as a healthy grapevine continues to grow and produce much fruit. Having an imitate relationship with God should be more and more evident in the way we live our lives. So, when the angel of death pays you an unexpected visit, he escorts you to Jesus’s throne, you know for certain he going to welcome you with loving arms and said welcome home my faithful servant. Now to which door I chose for my life? It’s the one that is open. This bible verse one of a couple that inspired me to design this illustration. 1 Corinthians 3:12-13 King James Version 12 Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble. 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. This verse is not referring to the rebellious people who have rejected God, this is referring to people who are children of God, who failed to serve God faithful. Written by Stephen J. Vattimo. 3 Jan 2024 .
