MIDNIGHT menagerie - ILLUSTRATION COLLECTION - NEXT ILLUSTRATED BOOK

MIDNIGHT menagerie

A new book in the works! I wanted to compile my very first full color, fully illustrated book. As it sits, I have 30 illustrations coming out in this project that will showcase fun and mysterious fantasy narratives. This project hopes to be a transformative and strange collection of fantastical creatures, monsters, and beings. As of August 2022, just over half of the illustrations have been created. Feel free to ask about this project if you meet me in person, or check out some of the behind the scenes illustrations, timelapes and insider looks by joining my patreon here.

Character TRIPTYCH - ILLUSTRATION COLLECTION - fRAMED ONE OF A KIND

Character TRIPTYCH

The artwork is all completed I just need to build the frame!
One of my many personal projects, this is a series of character illustrations that I’ve designed to be a traditional triptych. (A greek routed word used to describe a set of works that comes in a set of three)

Usually three panels or frames, originating more towards classical altarpiece decoration which would thus be shown or displayed with the work or frames that were hinged together and unfolded during services. The centerpiece usually being larger image or frame of the three, with the two smaller bookend pieces. It could also be curated together and is available in equal parts.

This set features three original characters, if you look at the mock up below it is Vasili on the left, Avriel Drahn featured in the center, Vasha on the right.

I started the concept for the centerpiece (Drahn) casually in the fall of 2019 and have built up the project around him. Thus creating the other illustrations and coloring and finishing them together to create a lush and vibrant matching set of paintings.

I’ve quickly tossed together a photo mock up including some of the frames I currently have on hand and that is featured below. I measured the flat width of the frames and the entire thing would sit at just shy of 40" of wall space, plus room for hardware. I hope to take this to shows and use it as a narrative centerpiece. Until then, I shall update this once I have engineered the hinges and have had the prints framed and hung.

DEADLIEST FRIENDS - INK PEN ILLUSTRATIONS - PIN AND STICKER SERIES

Deadliest Friends

You just found yourself 12 new friends. And they all happen to be dead. Welcome to the crew!
This series had started as an exercise using brush pens and inks. Started as a way to get better with the general medium, but the turned into a challenge to combine and give a voice to the eerie, dead, and beautiful character that lies within what’s left behind. Taking reference from real animal skulls and remains, I have given each one a little flavor and returned a little life. After making the first four designs, being the Two headed cat, the Angler Fish, The Crow and the Frog, I wanted to continue and expand the set, ending with a total of 12 designs.

Introducing the first four ink drawings as prints in 2018, they caught fire and people wanted to see more. From that point I dove into offering all 12 designs as stickers, as well as learning how to make acrylic and resin lapel pins that feature the deadliest friends heads, as well as their full-bodied character form.

My favorite part about having created so many designs here is watching people react to them differently. People are drawn to them for different reasons and when they remind them of friends. Hundreds of people have joined the Deadliest Friends Crew and brought them into their homes.

Join the Crew and get yourself some Deadliest Friends!

FANTASY PINUP ZINE | NUDES AND TATTOOS

A small collection of NSFW drawings
Featuring a bunch of different types of womxn and creatures of the like in little relaxed pin up poses.
This series started as a way to lightly break up some art block I had been struggling with between commission work. Figuring a small amount of anatomy study, and some loose tattoo designing would do the hand good. With a bit of encouragements and love from my patrons, it worked to break my block and I went on a mission to make a few more to fill up a small folded zine. Ahaha Each zine features seven pin ups of different bodies and are printed, hand folded, and signed by me!
