So I throw all these words out to explain my #art but really, it comes down to mood as the #artwork progresses. This was first focused on #hair – I am not apologetic for objectifying luscious locks – then it moved into the #goth #vampire realm ( #notsorry ) and then setting back into #natureContinue reading “Nature – Victim”

The Shower
There are rules if one wants to let their guard down in days since the z-virus sucker-punched civilization, then took all of its toys in a tidal wave of walking dead. One of the rules? Always check for Zombies in bathrooms, they will straight up murder you while you’re doing your business. Asá knew this,Continue reading “The Shower”
Broken Windows
The eyes are the windows to the soul as the quote goes. Sometimes they’re mirrors too. Both are easily broken.

The Countess
She has braved the passing centuries from her imprisonment in Csejte. She’s older, wiser, and far, far more dangerous.

Since then, the series has been focused on Jason and the creative ways people shuffle off this mortalContinue reading “Horror Equality”
A Vespertilian Thing
She was no Mary Poppins. You felt it right away, there was something off about her, her elegance, how she smiled eerily at your vampire stuffed animal, ironically above you now – “Hold on,” your subconscious screams, “I’m not even old enough to know what irony is!” You begged them to hire anyone but her,Continue reading “A Vespertilian Thing”
Postpartum
Can art still shock and offend? Can it still cause questions to be asked? Can it drive a conversation? In today’s digital artwork, which for some reason just finished a four-hour rendering (maybe the rig was offended), I explore the dark side of the Romanticism movement. I’ve drawn on David Caspar Friedrich, who IMHO isContinue reading “Postpartum”
