Thank you much. If you or anyone you are interested in tattoo designs, my commissions are open!

I drew these elementals as a series of large live drawings over several ren faire weekends some years back. Each one was 18x24, done with a mix of graphite, conte, and charcoal

It’s September and I’m starting to sense hints of fall vibes in the air. This skeleton witch agrees.

I had to look up who John Arthur was. I came across this one and found it eerily similar 😄
