Soothsayer

Soothsayer: Initial Drawing

"The Soothsayer" is another macabre creation of pen and digital media. Inspirations for this piece varied from music, Tibetan monks, Day of the Dead and ancestral worship skulls of Africa. I love how old civilizations respect death as part of life, rather than as an unmentionable evil.

Black Dragon

This is the first time I incorporated coffee and tea in my artwork. Since I'm not a coffee drinker, the small coffee grinds in the kitchen were finally of use. Also, I found that Darjeeling tea had a darker color over Lipton.

After a few washes, diluted sumi ink was splattered by tapping on the paintbrush. The dragon was then applied with several pens on the very forgiving clayboard. Overall, the creative process was very fun and satisfying.

Apparel Artwork: Rambo Rabbit

Rambo Rabbit Shirt

Rambo Rabbit is a hand-illustrated character armed with a carrot gun and a take-no-prisoners attitude. The design is available as a shirt.

Having the t-shirt medium is very freeing as it gives me the opportunity to dabble in different art styles. I realize the subject of "animals and guns" is not a new concept, but I wanted to explore my own version. The inspiration stems from Tokidoki's lovable creatures with guns, a conversation with a friend and a live-action 80s comedy film. Although I don't recall the name of the film, the opening sequence always stuck with me--the main character was a cartoonist and draws a rabbit, which comes to life and starts shooting people. That was perhaps the most interesting part of the movie too, but overall, film is always a great inspiration.

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!

Artwork: The Snake Charmer

The Snake Charmer

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

The Snake Charmer is pen and digital piece that is part of the "Tomato de Arbol" #4 zine (Argentina), focusing on Fables. I was influenced by the story of the Pied Piper, luring snakes instead of people.
