Chel’s Artistry

Tattoo of a tea cup with purple flowers and a pink joint on a thigh.

Memorial tattoos come in many forms, but my personal favorite are the ones that represent a persons tastes and interests. It was an honor getting to tattoo this tea cup paired with a pink treat.

I am in love with this wolf tattoo I got to do last week! Inspired by the Noah Kahan song, “Howling”, this piece pulls together a couple elements I love, skeletal and celestial vibes. If you haven’t heard this song, take the time to check it out! It’s lovely.

Did you know I’m writing a two-part book series?? Well, now you do!! I’ll be using the @villagevultures.bsky.social to post updates and info about the project. So, if you feel oh so compelled, give this account a follow! Thanks y’all :)

Book cover depicting two skeletal figures holding scythes. At the center of these figures is the book title, “Village Vultures”, prominently circled and illuminated. This digital illustration is done artist, Ray Chel.

Introducing the “Village Vultures” book project, an upcoming two-part book series. To put it simply, this is a not-so-serious story about death and the people that dedicate themselves to its work written and illustrated by me, Ray Chel.

Three different stages of an art piece featuring a Shibari sneak with hearts on its body.

✨In Progress✨

Been slowly chipping away at this “Shibari Snek” project.
First, I sketched out my concept, photographed and redrew digitally, printed and traced the back, and then etched it onto the wood using a quarter.
The plan is to use posca pens and paint to complete it!

Turned out awesome!!

✨I ain’t a Cartoon✨

Started a new sketchbook for the year and hope to fill it with silly cartoons.
Today, we have the Redneck Reaper with his nod to, “The Treachery of Images”, for all you artsy-fartsy folks out there.

✨Laika the Dog✨

On a journey with no way home, Laika became the first living thing to orbit the earth.
Today, we remember her as a martyr for her contribution to space exploration. I like to believe she’s the brightest shining star in the night sky.

An illustrated assortment of the items and trinkets from my “clown collection”.

✨Happy Valentines Day!✨

I love the Valentine’s Day aesthetic so much that I couldn’t resist but make it the theme of my clown collection. I love illustrating this gender defying clown and getting to share them with my supporters.
