Cut out cup cake

Two girls I doodled some time ago, and now turned into these two pages in one of my journals

India ink on tissue paper. I had never used ink on this kind of paper before; I really liked the results! There are some folds and wrinkles on the paper that give the pattern some interesting details. The paper is also super absorbing, which plays nicely with the quantities of ink. Since it's very thin, there can easily be overlays between textures. And finally, when trying to use less ink (so that it wouldn't seep through and cause a big dot - the absorbing quality is nice, but it was also somewhat of a challenge!) I used very little ink on the lettering, causing a scratchy, dry look.

This was a piece I drew on some Bristol board. The original was sold, but I scanned it in and threw some color and shading on it.

Spooky sketch filled in with Golden Fluid Acrylic paint in Carbon Black. The background and other colors are watercolor.

Something I drew for Halloween upon request from followers on social media. I really wanted to mimic that uneasy otherworldly tone the film had, but I don't think I pulled it off very well.

Ongoing series of handmade collages realised over vintage postcards.

Part of a city series project I did

Acrylic painting on canvas, with plastic structure. Format 50×50 cm.

A not so subtle political message.

Professor Unicorn always pontificates at length, even after the bell rings.

This was a commission for portraits of 2 dogs using watercolor for the dogs and acrylics for the background. Painted on Aquabord which makes the watercolor so saturated that they appear opaque

This is part of a series of postcards that I have been creating to mail to my mom everyday. She is in assisted living about 3 hours away so I can’t see her every day. I mail her the postcards to give her something to look forward to.

cuando los Capsus usaban zapatos...

I collaged "Krampus is Coming For You" together with my own monoprints as well as one of my drawings of Japanese Noh masks that I cut out of an old sketchbook. For the second piece, I had a drawing of Marie Antoinette as an ice cream cone, so I gave her a dress, put a background of my monoprints on her, etc. Then I added more cherries, and the circle reminded me of a clock, so I inked in the arms accordingly.

Yes, continuing with gouache paint set and still Stranger Things surfaces.

Just because, experimenting with new gouache paint set and I so happen to like Stranger Things.

I did this landscape image on brown paper, then coloured it with Copic Markers After outlining with India Ink. TIME: 45 Minutes

Quick post-it’s sketch of one of Caravaggio’s painting “Judith Beheading Holofernes” c1602.

I feel kind of lost these days... I am an artist, this is who I am and this is the only thing I wanna be, but can I really do it? Can you do this, even though everyone around you say it's impossible? Do they all have a point when they say that "but you are so smart!!! Why would you wanna waist it and be an artist" thing? Other people may see my job as a dream job, but I hate it.. all I want to do is create, be an artist, be me. But is it really possible?...
