Set in profile, the pretty face of a woman devolves into an abstraction of patterns that stretch far past the natural end of her head suggesting an ornate headdress while simultaneously seeming quite organic to her as if she were made of chaos. She holds a hand delicately to her chest but the tips of her fingers suggest claws and the skin from the back of her hand down her arm isn’t smooth but more grotesque in texture. The cloth covering her is white and ethereal.
Detail from BRIDE OF DARKNESS featuring the pretty face of a woman that stretches in abstract patterns that suggest an ornate headdress while simultaneously seeing quite organic to her as if she were made of chaos.
Detail from BRIDE OF DARKNESS featuring her fingers ending in pointed tips. The skin on her fingers is smooth while a darker texture begins over her hand. In contrast to the creamy color of the portrait, the white cloth that drapes her is light and ethereal in pattern, taking on an almost ghostly presence.

Acrylic on Paper - 5 ½” x 8 ½”
I like using old scraps of book paper for wiping off my brush–the marks so often look like something suggestive to my imagination. Here’s another splash of acrylic paint turned into something.

Diese Seite ist so geil... man kann als "AI" LARPen oder einen prompt eingeben. Wenn man LARPed, muss man prompts von Menschen beantworten mit einer Zeichnung oder einem Text (je nachdem, was gefordert wurde) und hat dafür nur 60 Sekunden Zeit.
Extrem lustig, try it now! 😍

Steve's new hobby is 'climbing stuff'. I'd tell you more about it, but I need to go rescue him (again) from the very small tree stump in the garden.

One of my top choice HD albums together with Fairytale, the Gabriel Hounds and of course The Trial of Lancelot! But then I'm biased because TRTS was the album where my Imagineer lore starred...

Favourite opening track is an easy choice for me..

But then hands down: The Road to Santiago is a certified banger album!

I know it's predictable but the one with the silver/black fox and the crow is my favourite!

painting of a small brown fluffy monster with deep green eyes and his two front teeth sticking out. He has a large dark brown tuft coming off the top of his head.
Archie loves baking (particularly brownies) and has been the manager of the local football team now for five years running.
You can find Archie and his friends in my new Mini Book Of Monsters which launches next month! If you want to get notified go here: buff.ly/S4gl6xi

watercolour painting of a six legged caterpillar-shaped monster with a big smile. He's green and teal with a purple tail and legs.
Gareth enjoys crochet and making friends.
He will be looking for adoption when my Mini Book Of Monsters launches next month. Do you think you could provide him with a good home?

Photo of a gray and white goat, looking up at the camera appearing to smile. He is laying on thick hay bedding on the floor of a barn.
This photo expresses everything you need to know about Jarjar. He’s just a happy, happy, loving boy!

A coyote sitting on a mound of snow, howling with its eyes closed. Winter trees in the background.
Let's have a howl-out to Affirmation Coyote's friends who work the weekends, or have other non-standard work schedules!

A coyote walking through very deep snow.
Quitting Time has swept across most of the Coyote Continent.
Rejoice! Just one more day of toil for Affirmation Coyote's M-F workweek friends.
Stay strong.
