I'm an artist. I work in oils, acrylics, textiles, wood, ad infinitum. I love books, Tarot, listening to scary stories, and unsolved mysteries. I enjoy learning about nature, ancient cultures, and spiritualism. No DMs unless I know ya✌️

They all laughed as they spoke of an untried man, tortured in a cell with no way out, no hope of justice.
From the comfort of a gilded room, wrapped in luxury and power, they laughed.
These are not men.
These are monsters.

If I go quiet, you can bet I'm depressed. My physical progress has slowed to a crawl, my left knee is still fighting flexion, Farmer's Market starts in a couple of weeks & at the same time I'll probably have to have another surgery. I feel like I'm building a castle of dry sand.

Pen drawing of a gaunt stone or bone oval crested celestial with gems for a face radiating aurora like plasma set against distant large constructions that form part of a helix while several techno-organic "moons" orbit it. It's body flows into a world of temples and structures from antiquity made of stone and bone with several figures embedded in them with the most prominent having the head of a wooly mammoth.
Pen drawing of several celestial beings in front of disintegrating word breaking into fragments set against ancient decaying megastructures set against a twisted blue and purple plasma environment sky with rips of space showing through.
Pen drawing with two feminine faces structure with long tongues licking an ice cream like structure made up of small skull like faces, each if their bodies flowing into the twisted biomechanical shapes that fill the page while a large stone like face stares out from the background
Pen drawing of a figure standing before an altar in the foreground while a large female celestial being with large twisting shapes that are their "hair" flows down to the horizon, flanked by two other beings made up of the void of space with stars shining in their bodies with several more off in the distance. The horizon is dominated by large stone cathedral like structures with a large tree with various beings and baubles on the left under a sky full of black stars and shattered moons
So it's #PortfolioDay.
I'm just a Dan on the Canadian Prairies passing some time scratching strange and cosmic things onto paper in a #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt sort of vein. These are all personal works and I'm just sharing my journey.
blue and yellow toned gouache art of a polar bear sitting and looking into the water, which is full of different sized fish. There are trees in the foreground and stars hanging from the sky around the bear. The trees come down on either side to frame the bear and the water within a third, upside-down tree. The painting's border is the same pattern as the water.
A watercolor painting of a rabbit sat upon a mushroom, a star hanging from a string in their mouth. A fox sits below them, looking up at the star. Surrounding them both are blue and green plants.
An acrylic painting of a red rabbit sat in the middle of a clearing. All around them white rabbits are watching. The trees and plants are stylized and colored with a light and dark blue.
A pen and marker drawing of a tiger. The tiger is drawn with pink ink and her tail is long enough to fold back and forth beneath her. At the tip of her tail is a star. All around her are green plants.

Paperhand Puppet Intervention’s exhibition “Of Wings and Feet” at GreenHill Center for NC Art in Greensboro is fabulous. It runs through June 21. I love their annual shows at the Forest Theater in Chapel Hill every summer.
