Mischievous Darlings

Mischievous Darlings: Initial Drawing

"Mischievous Darlings" is a macabre gothic vision inspired by the horror genre. The cuteness of the monsterlings adds a bit of humor and sarcasm to the piece. Sweet dreams my pretties!

Old Mechanical Dragon

Old Mechanical Dragon: Initial Drawing

"Old Mechanical Dragon" is another mixed media piece that had its start as an ink drawing and now lives as a photoshop-textured creation. Dragons are a favorite subject of mine, and they're always an adventure to produce. I wanted to explore rusty surfaces and took some artistic licenses to my winged creature. The background is a grungy photo texture from one of my many walks around SF.

Etsy has a great feature that I've recently got into--Treasuries. With this feature, I get to share items and topics from other artists that fascinate and intrigue me. It is a little time-consuming, but very inspiring to see all the diverse creations out there. Here are the first two treasuries: Turtle Wurtle (Turtles) and Drowning in Pixie Dust (Dark Fairies and Magic).
