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

Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster

I used to doodle on caps back in 2010 and haven’t drawn on any for a few years, upon request I am creating some for an exhibition. I used white acrylic as a base before drawing using permanent ink pen.

(Gel fineliner on a 139mm x 87mm postcard) It's what happens when a soldier in The Imperial Dwarf Legion turns up late for muster.

Bouguereau, hand study in dry pastel.

Sooo, I was trying to draw Sam Smith... it didn’t work out how I wanted but that doesn’t matter. Just forget the Sam Smith idea and see another drawing

Drawn with Generals Pastel Pencils. I was surprised I enjoyed working with them. This is one in a series of "drink themed" drawings.

Just a random character I drew whilst I was on the plane on the 17th of June,I managed to color the drawing today now I'm really exhausted,I'll upload the coloring progress tomorrow on my channel

I’be been sketching my toy cars and trying to imagine how plants might interact with them

Vintage toys have amazingly quirky and often so-joyous-they're-creepy faces.

The revision of my last sketch and the proto of my final artwork

This is a work in progress, as I'll be adding more spots to my neighborhood map. You can also view the map with interactivity on my site: https://www.colorsnack.com/the-cedars-neighborhood-map/

Watercolor sketch of fish I did last year.

This sketchbook spread features a man whispering some Yin Yang song lyrics into a lady's ear. I drew them separately, then realized the guy was definitely hitting on her. I can't imagine that singing the lyrics from "Wait, The Whisper Song" have ever worked. But today might be the day. We also have a hairless cat and some very mysterious Illuminati symbolism. I like to stay busy.

let's kill it ;)
