Leah Lucci's Uploads

Sometimes I just start throwing lines on top of lines. Today was such a day, fusing, intermingling, and vomiting lines up onto the page. (I originally titled this "Dreams in Digital" but then I was like "no one has heard Orgy's second album but you. Please abandon this late-1990s alt-rock persona. Live in the now.")

I used a reference from Flickr Commons to draw this. Rawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwr.

I've combined Inktober and Drawlloween to create a bunch of big ink-wash paintings of horror themes. I'm really excited about these!!! I can't wait to have 31!

Picasso + calligraphy flourishes + Marie Antoinette = whatever is happening here, I think.

Don't worry, animal lovers: the fox is still alive.

Vintage weightlifters, surreal octopodes that look like my friends, and rabbits, rabbits, rabbits.

If you've ever wanted to learn more about me, this is your opportunity.

One of my high school friends went on a family trip and returned to find his girlfriend obsessed with a dead bird. She had found it, extensively photographed it, and kept it in a box. He broke up with her. I cannot, for the life of me, get over this story, even though it happened almost 20 years ago. I want to hunt this girl down and ask her approximately one million questions.

Listen, I wish I could explain the content of this sketchbook to you better, because you do deserve better, but I have nothing.

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

Would conjoined twins have a conjoined patronus, or two separate patronuses?

May 2019 was a month that I focused on collaging my own handmade paper together to create illustrations. I also started trying out gouache, to mixed results. It's a skill I intend to learn!

Noh Doubt About It: I drew 20 masks today.

Toys used to be so much cooler back in the day. I realize this makes me sound like a very old nerd. I also realize that I AM a very old nerd. So there's that.

I messed up a face (just to the left of the spine), and then painted over it into a... unholy horror. I don't want to mess with that thing.

I've been drawing a lot of mandalas lately. Circles, upon circles, upon circles! I love it! It's very soothing and meditative.

These were drawn by hand without lifting the pen, then colored in Illustrator. Did I get your dog?

I love how these nesting dolls came out. I'm also into the Dakota Fanning inspired piece on the left. Dakota's character in The Alienist is a lot of fun. I'm glad she seems to have come out of child acting fairly unscathed. We don't hear a lot of stories of her gallavanting around LA, thieving & putting substances up her schnoz. That's a pleasant change of pace for a celebrity.

Some foods are messy; even Kings acknowledge the need to bib it up to protect one's favorite t-shirts. Not sure if the thing on his head is a crown, a headdress, or hair.

Everybody poops -- ESPECIALLY unicorns!

This drawing looks a bit like one of those "how are you feeling?" hospital charts. It starts out okay ("smiling cat", "drunk pirate"), and descends into full Lovecraftian Horror. I was driving toward a local town known for its unpleasant yokels, which probably explains the progression. Today, for the record, I'm 75% Apathetic Lumberjack, 5% glassy-eyed cat, and 20% Vampire Waluigi.
