Charcoal on gessoed sketchbook paper

Graphite (powdered and in pencil form) and iron oxide recovered from abandoned mine runoff on watercolor paper

a twist to a style I’ve always wanted to try and a historic style of art I’ve always admired - enjoy!

Malik straining to keep the twisting pose. Decided to leave this one as a slightly rough red Bic pen sketch for now. There’s something to be said about the energy found in the work-up drawing.

Colored pencil on toned paper

A bonsai tree sits in a black pot against a bright yellow circular background with humorous text surrounding it. The words "Why aren't they called... Bonsai People?" suggest a playful twist on the terms little person, person with dwarfism or person of short stature.

“Whirlwind 2”, an original drawing. Micron pens on archival paper. Size: 4” x 6”. Title, signature and date in the back of the drawing. The original post date on this drawing was September 2, 2020.

for a soon to be released collab with Artwist Watches.

After a week of influensa and a diet of lozenges and potato twisters, i needed to do a quick drawing to keep in practise. Wtprompt on instagram suggested an animal portrait with a moustache, so here it is!

It’s easier to remain silent for someone whose words only ever got twisted. (spoke in other forms though) Running from what? Nothing. And everything. Until they fell off the edge - or flew- and plunged into an epiphany where words can’t even translate, can’t touch you. “Don’t you come looking for me” on the wind.

Marker art: a twist between Starry Night and an introspective pup

Still behind but whatever :P Day 2: mindless. I had an idea for this prompt and will probably still do it, but this is a doodle I just mindlessly did on the front of my sketchbook. No thought to these I just doodle this same snarling, twisted mass when I just randomly doodle. #viowolf #vioart #vioarts #vioartstudio #vio #art #artist #inktober2019 #inktober #mindless #doodles #sketchbook #ballpointpen #monstermaker #monsters #teeth #horror #macabraart #twisted #instagramstories #Halloween #October #fearcon2019 #fearcon #supporlocalartists #darkart #artistoftwitter #artistoffacebook #artistofinstagram #artistoftumblr

2020, Ballpoint pen on 9” x 12” archival paper, Adobe Photoshop.

This is inspired by one of Bob Ross’s works. I added some twists and differences though. It is an older painting, but still one of my favorites!

Fine point felt pen and marker on graph paper.

Ending of the sequence I made based on the "apple" prompt by @moonchildillustrations and her #moontoberweekends.

Graphite in sketchbook

Spirits - they look a bit like Shishigami forest spirit, but with a 'cute' twist. Markers and fine liners on paper.

"You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep"

Don't get your tail in a twist.

With a twist

Graphite and iron oxide recovered from acid mine runoff on watercolor paper

I saw a video about how people think they can’t draw and how people actually can draw, so I decided to follow along with it. I drew this cool Albert Einstein cartoon but instead following it exactly I added my own little twist.

Part of a sequence I made.
