I went to the kitchen to make some tea, still a lot left to do, the night seemed to be long. I looked up the window in front of me. The moon was orange.
(2B Pencil on 170mm x 110mm paper) Nudes are common in art, but I've developed a background with these Spelldancers:
They're witches of The Crimson Moon Coven and exist on an alternate Earth where an "Apocalypse Of Man" took place. A terrible war which nearly wiped-out all life on the planet. From the ashes rose the Crimson Moon Coven who directed a miraculous revival of humanity under a benign matriarchal system. In the space of a single generation, they'd pretty much fixed most things and, in the centuries which followed, their Earth became more peaceful and prosperous than it's ever been, with the men resigned to the fact that their thousands of years of tenure hadn't really worked-out and that the women were actually doing a much better job, if they were being honest. They didn't even mind that, over the space of time, their numbers were reduced to 35% of the population. A much more manageable level, with anything above that seen as dangerous.
Men may protest, at first, but after a while they do get used to sitting on comfy cushions!
The Crimson Moon Coven, with their unique abilities to harness the forces of the universe, then looked into our own reality, didn't like what they saw, and decided to do something about it. With the spell-dance (and my help) they're finding a way through to gain influence in our world to sort things out.
At least, that's what they've told me....
Inspired by the Irworobong design (korean palace folding screen) during my Korea trip. Since I made the trip in spring, with flowers abundant, I thought to use the five mountain peaks as five petals to form a flower.
This scene was inspired by my walk home from work on Monday evening. The Moon was already high up. The weather was windy. The clouds were passing by fast, giving me a glimpse of the Moon here and there. A pretty ominous scene, if you ask me. Size: 2x2 inches.
So doodling is truly an obsession w me. I always try to draw w-out thot & w unabandoned freedom... so trying to draw something that doesn't exist or creating odd critter scenarios is the goal yet my wit & craft always get in the way since after seeing things unfold that i can't help but to redefine & give them a definitive humorous caption. My sense of humor is constant. So here r a few things that revealed themselves to me... There's a bullet turtle [Ironic & similar to a bullet train] There's a piece of Indian corn bread which produces popcorn bread; In the back ground is a 'full' moon [Hence the burping & a Moon Wok. I like aesthetic things but my witty mind just won't leave enough alone!
I just saw the moon which, I think, looked like it was pink. It was probably the trick of lights of the evening, but it looked mesmerizing. So, here is my rendition of the pink moon of an evening.
An original character of mine. November 2018. Her name is Jinx Muun. A modern day witch, born on the 1st full Moon, on Friday the 13th. She is a feisty, independent and strong young woman. Her powers come out most during a full moon, where her skin takes on a lilac color and her eyes shift colors as well.
This striking black and white ink drawing personifies Time as a dark entity surrounded by flying souls. A half moon hovers between two hourglasses, symbolizing the passage of time, while smoke billows from two pit fires below. The scene is grounded by skulls and bones, emphasizing the theme of mortality. The artwork is elegantly framed in a gothic style, enhancing its surreal atmosphere and dark symbolism, inviting viewers to reflect on the inevitability of time and its impact on existence.
