Each painting is expressed as a little story. There's a plot for me

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

I am incandescent with rage. Rage and grief and fear for the future. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJEd0bOVk1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A pastel look at people looking at crows from their strange little houses that are seemingly steam powered.

IDK, this drawing was inspired by this, so partial credit to whomever drew this^^: https://www.pngitem.com/middle/iboJJJm_zerotwo-zero-two-darlinginthefranxx-darling-in-zero-two/

Copied from page 41 of Dana Fox’s in the Forest watercolor book. I messed up a little bit on the feathers when coloring them.

Saw the prompt looking for inspiration and wanted to try to draw a hand pressed up against glass... I thought I did a pretty good job for a first try

Story of the Day

These are seashells that I copied out from Dana Fox’s (In the Ocean) book. They were fun but it was also challenging trying to capture the likeness and texture of seashells.

"Mythical Creature" (2022) Another mythical animal created in Procreate. Repurposed a palm tree from an earlier piece. It is overworked and I grew tired tinkering with it. Might be in the book I have been encouraged to produce.

Character of the Day

Here is one of 3 illustrations I made for customizable postcards, available for purchase at @cava.galeria I wanted to make another silly #goose with a fun #hat

An allegory to the people in the clubs. (Crayons. 2013)

The preliminary Design for another one of the Vasile Children. He is able to control soundwaves, deadening or amplifying the sounds around him.

The first Draft for a design for Zora Vasile, the matron and wife of the current patriarch of the Vasile family.

This is another illustration sketch copied from Dana Fox’s Jungle series. Done in watercolor

April 2022

Really exploring the different possibilities of digital art, and having a lot of fun with it! Very pleased with the outcome here!

The finished concept I feel proud of it. I just wanted to do a snake for some reason

This is Yuri Vokova. Hes a werewolf servant to the Vasile household and the personal bodyguard of Lumin. He's probably one of the only decent people in Lumin's life.
