A little thanks to the works of Ariel Pink for this one. If you’re anything like I am, grooves like his always get you through your creative process

Do your talents justice by using them, rather than leaving them in the closet! Honour them.

"Heaven was putting distance between her and everyone." ~ A blackout poem from a recycled page of Riding with the Hides of Hell, which now has a new-and-improved title, Burnout. It's a young adult story about motorcycles, a road trip, adventure, and love.

For the past two months ive been participating on the #drawthisinyourstyle challege at instagram. Here are some of the ones i made. Many more on my instagram account @mjdaluz_illustration

Streetstyle from Helsinki Finland. You know the Moomin tales by Tove Jansson. The friend of Moomin is Snufkin. A wanderer that has all the belongings with him. This fellow feels like real life Snufkin.

A home made card I made for a friends bridal shower :)

This is watercolor using the negative painting technique where you paint around your subject using multiple layers which creates depth. This has greater than 8 layers of watercolor washed around the tree shapes

Butter # Who knows ny more? : The Scotch Angus. I gotta say, bottles a NOT easy subjects!.... And neither are butterflies. So a tricky one whichever way you look at it. This was certainly one to have fun with :) New slightly improved version here : https://www.doodleaddicts.com/uploads/13873/

Do you enjoy creepy and/or sad things? This entire series is basically "I was a teenage goth."

*writes a few words, masticates a few more he found reading Doctor Who books* An ode to the more saccharine yet saltier tasting things in life. Faff and fluff aside, find your own meaning folks.

What is stored in your heart will inevitably come out...

I did this earlier this year and I'm really proud of it! Hope you like! (:

It’s a trip, seeing beyond what you know.

The 3rd planet is sure that they're being watched By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped when you get to the promise land You're gonna shake that eye's hand - modest mouse

Don’t get caught here unawares… I don’t suggest you take the stairs. The treasure that this castle keeps, deep beneath the water sleeps. But if you’re patient with the tides, there’s another path it hides. Quickly now! Find the door! and hurry back onto the shore. For the moon, she will not wait to turn the tide and flood the gate. Don’t get caught here unawares… I don’t suggest you take the stairs.

I started off with a circle on a big paper and somehow came to this, I really enjoy looking at this an I hope you do toooo.

oi bruv your clapped

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

Don’t cry over spilled milk unless you are Mr. Milk of course.

I think the gray man is named David

i was debating between uploading this and another SootHouse related drawing i had made today, but the other one was much more rushed and i kind of like the shading in this one. // the red part is a beanie, it's hard to draw beanies with a mouse, forgive me // Wilbur Soot is the main member of the Youtube channel SootHouse, it's really funny, and once I got featured at the end B))) (On "Bad Women's Anatomy Posts [Feat. SorrowTV]") // I might draw the other seven members, but idk.

I dug up this rock while hiking the Negev desert in Israel last year. It’s sharp and kinda chalky and it feels like it has stories to tell when you look deep into its lines and layers.

This drawing began as just a random sketch of a face then over time i gave into my creative thirst lol. I'm new to art so this was an adventure I suppose. After looking at the drawing for a while I came to a realization theres a hidden meaning to it ill leave it up to you tho. Please comment or criticize, maybe even make suggestions thank youuu.
