So June is almost done. I’m sad and maybe a little depressed. June’s the best month, well, best month outside of Fall for Queer folk (as in LGBTQIA+), because nothing compares to Halloween season for us Q’s. Once July rolls in, there will be no more celebration of the qualities that make us human, e.g., … Read more
My take on the Tolkien character. She didn’t match the portrait in my minds eye, but whatevs.
I’ve not been doing much art lately, mostly due to artists block, but here’s a doodle I worked on over the last two weeks or so. I chose the title ‘Ophelia’ partially based on Zella Day’s “Sweet Ophelia” which inspired the initial concept, but also Bill’s existential masterpiece ‘Hamlet.’ The image has current social issues … Read more
Ukraine angst has been foremost in my mind of late, so I did more art relating to the war. This is a grade-schooler in any town – Ukraine as the Russians switch tactics from decapitation to the senseless slaughter of civilians. The war needs to stop. #stoprussia
I’ve been eye deep in excel this week, so no art, so I decided to make a a video of 2021 art. digitalart #art #kunst #peinture #artwork #cryptoart #cryptoartist from 2021. Themes include #empowerment #fragility & #beauty of #life #nature #selfworth #struggle #acceptance #women #war #dnd #fantasy #scifiart the #psyche etc.
YouTube because somehow the video wouldn’t upload here. It will open in a separate tab.
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 #nature (which I love) – I’ll let you figure out how vampires are #victims and apply that to the damage humans are doing to our madre de #nature. I really shouldn’t even bother with trying to explain it, but for my three fans I will sacrifice :). I mean, it’s not like an influencer like Waagen is going to come along in 250 years and hawk my stuff to wealthy Parisians, while calling it emblematic of the American Golden Age to make a buck. But I digress. Hope you enjoy it.
A triptych as my last digital artwork. I’ve run out of ideas and must find something else. The three paintings explore nothing, and maybe have some intrinsic meaning, but in my current state, I got nothing. I think the most fun part was exploring camera techniques, playing with blades, lens thickness and f/stop. Anywho, without further ado….
It’s a triptych, there is no part four 🙂
I was lying on the battlefield, life slowly bleeding out. The sounds of battle faded to the moans of the dying with a chorus of vultures in the background. As the sun set on what was surely my last day in this world, and the cold damp of night settled in my bones, she came … Read more
She’s a staple at the Renaissance Faire. A European beauty, noble and fair. She’s a lady, an enigma with an infectious smile, whose presence calls for a lens, any lens, to capture.
A legitimate comment sparked this post. I don’t know if the person was just being a social media denizen (where the goal is to tear down) or knew that I always create a scene for my art, with multiple angles worthy of expression to the lens, and decided to coax out another angle from me. … Read more
She waits on the shores of the Siren Sea, opposite the Fields of Unformed Desires. Her song calls to the pirate vessel that she will captain across the mists of the cerulean waters. Full disclosure, the pose/idea is based on a photo (not mine) taken of a friend on whom I’ve had a school-boy crush … Read more
She’s seen the fall of the Dodo, the discovery of the Whalefish, the wholesale destruction of her kingdom. She’s battled the the trawlers, the whalers, and the dumpers. She bears the scars of an ocean in peril, of currents in collapse. She is the queen of the deep, the last Mermaid queen. Note, this could … Read more
