So it begins…

Yet another attempt at trying to find refuge from the pitfalls of Instagram. Maybe one of these alternatives will actually work out.
Who knows…it could even be this one🤷‍♀️
Anyway…here’s a skull I painted a little while ago.

Pinned post per proper peopling perception.

•I craft intricate ink drawings of mythological and macabre subjects to pay homage to both the exquisite beauty and profound depths of the human experience, where the lines between wonder and darkness converge.•

What a thing of beauty and mystery this is. Like a soft dark shaman materializing from the ether. And I always love the words he includes with his posts. ToobzMuir is amazing. Definitely give him a follow!

Acrylic and oil on canvas 48x48”

What is it that you need to tell me? The simplicity of what I have to offer you yet remaining as intricate as the make up of my stare. Vapors coat the dark and you brave through the cause.

“Shadow Seer” oil on panel, 8x8” 🖤 a self perhaps yet still unknown, a reflection of our unfamiliar beckons for us to enter, to do the work of listening, to vanish many times over into something felt and known, accepted and loved 🖤✨
