Decided on Saturday to work on this page but then my phone fell off the clamp and scared me which made me spill all this ink 😅
Two panels with dogs around them, depicting a man sleeping on a mattress in the middle of a room. Below are pencils with large splotches of ink spilled over them

Panel 1: Ovidio sits in front of a body covered in a sheet, text says: we shudder to think we sit in the jaws of her death, soothe ourselves against the same teeth that bit her Panel 2: someone unseen steps forward, text says: that we might unknowingly wander into the end of our lives in the same place we found the beginnings of it Panel 3: a reflection in the water of Ovidio reaching for the body and someone reaching for them, text says: the seeds of love a poor shield against a cruel hand Panel 4: Ovidio looks behind them as a hand reaches towards them, text says: that the hand we love may reach towards us in violence-- Page is greyscle with red accents in Ovidio's hair and the yarn that moves through the page, frames some of the panels, forms a pomegranate, and ties around Doe's hand Panel 1: a lamb cowers at the shadow of a jaguar at the end of the hall Panel 2: overlaying sequence of the lamb running Panel 3: the lamb bumps into the wall Panel 4: the lamb tries to cry out as a shadow of claws come down on them Panel 5: a woman sleepily opens a door with a candle in her hand, asking "what's all this noise? Did something happen?" Ovidio floating between two trees that have blood and missing posters on then. Below them are green mushrooms and crashing ocean waves and they're taking a picture on a camera Post card of multi colored houses of a variety of sizes. There's a rainbow gradient over them and a grainy off white background. The houses get bigger from the left top corner towards the bottom right corner.

Finished another page today and it was tough but satisfying! Here's a preview
4 squares each with different houses inside them. Business men try to knock on doors and look in windows. The fourth one has a birdhouse with a bird flying into it

My partner made me this gorgeous, beautiful book that I'm going to work on my next comic "Thirteen Houses" in! If you like my house art, this will be the thread to keep up in :3
A B4 sized book covered in green pleather on a desk Embossing on the spine of the green book that has the number 13 over a little house The inside of the book, there's an end paper with swirls of greens, browns, and rust colors. The first page on the right is blank

Gearing up for my October challenge, so in the meantime, here's a commission I did for a friend's birthday!!
Ink illustration of a my friend's ttrpg OC. She's a witch tall lace up boots, a thick skirt with patches and fur along the bottom, a belt with bags, tights with dandelions stitched in, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up above her elbows and a vest. She has a wide brim hat with little loops and hanging bits around the brim. She's casting magic in large swirls. Around the illustration are bottles of black and white ink, brushes, and a dip pen used to make it. Close-up of the illustration. Ink illustration of a my friend's ttrpg OC.

They crawl through a tunnel, following the string A page with a dark blue background fading into green. There are two panels at the top of a character getting their bearings and lifting their head at the sound of a voice. At the bottom an older man sits on a log surrounded by foliage while smoking a pipe. There's a magical circle in front of him producing magenta fire that lights him. He says, "finally awake, huh? You took ages, sleeping beauty!"

Doing a personal curriculum both for my personal enrichment and strengthen my writing muscles for finishing up the script for #Untitledno89 :3
A little browser window at the top says "OCTOBER CURRICULUM. Theme: the connection between femicide, machismo, and Latin American Mythology". Below it are the book covers for El invencible verano de Liliana, La Fosa de Agua, Sacrificios Humanos, and Cometierra. Below are related papers/research relation to myth theory, machismo, and origins of mythology

The show was on Saturday and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out!! Will update with it's semipermanent new home once it's announced!
A box with a room inside, dark wooden floors and wood panelling. There's white and yellow wallpapers that seem look back and painted mold in the corners. There's a window and a door, the latter of which is woodburned with a watchful figure. Inside the room there are 13 pieces made with collage, ink, and paints. The same view of the room as the other picture but the pieces are all ominously backlit here

I have a gallery opening this weekend (the 13th 👻) with Tiny Gallery Montclair titled "A House is a Bluebeard". I'll be sharing more about the pieces and the show throughout the week and after so you can see where to check it out if you're local to New Jersey!

#illustration #collage #darkart
A piece at the center depicts a person nude with collage of a house overlapping. Where the house overlaps you see through their skin into organs, muscle, and bone. Around the piece you see glimpses of other pieces, mostly black and white and collage

A poster I made for San Cha's opera 'Inebria Me' that I saw in May and completely captivated me

#illustration #SanCha #ink #fountainpen
A poster for the opera Inebria Me. San Cha is at the center of a cross of light in a bridal gown, glowing at she pulls against her chains. Her husband stands behind her as a darkened figure with a lily. There are candles around the stage and the sisters kneel and pray on either side of the bride. The title is written below the bride in a cursive font and below that is a list of all the crew members who contributed to the show

First time drawing myself since I shaved my head for #makeaterriblecomicday2025
A two panel comic titled "We Got a New Fish Tank". In the top panel I'm lit by the fish tank looking in and with my hands on the glass saying "please live, little fish". The bottom panel is from the fishes' perspective. The fish says "who is this guy" as they look at my blurry face through the glass

My second #Untitledno89 playing card is Doe!!
This card depicts my original character Doe from Untitled no. 89. Her portrait breaks out slightly from a diamond shape and she blows out a cloud smoke as fire rises behind her. There is a simple frame around her that says King of Diamonds.

1/5 card designs I did for #Untitledno89 ! Starting with Ovidio of course :3
A joker card of my original character Ovidio of Untitled no. 89. He is posed in the middle with a red x over his eyes and a red teardrop under each one. His hands are bloodied from holding open the scissors trying to close on his neck. It says "Joker" because the scissors' handle and the gram contains all the card suits

Big fan of your work and I've been really focusing in on more house/building focused work lately! Would love to dive into whatever project you're working on

elsombreronart.com
Comic page of a house that is yellow with dark, cool tiling on the roof and a band of stray dogs runs in front of it. "1. The first house was, of course, his own. The one where'd he carry his bride over the threshold and conceive his children. Large and thorough to accommodate his large family." Post card of multi colored houses of a variety of sizes Panels take the overall shape of the house, each panel a separate section of the inside of it. A woman's profile takes up space in most of the panels. "Until her. Her mother gave birth to her in that very house, and later passed it onto her. If she had been interested at all, she could have found out Jebediah was a cousin of hers, a dozen times removed. But she was not the type to be curious about that sort of thing or to be impacted by the knowledge if it was imparted on her."

A fun concept I did a while ago for a character in a new comic called Pigeon! Have been bouncing this guy around in my head enough that I might start working on his story soon :3

#originalcharacter #OC #characterdesign #artistsoninstagram
Doodles of a character that wears a pigeon mask. On the left you see them from the hips up eating a cookie through their mask which hinges with their jaw, wear a coat, sweater, and fingerless gloves. The other doodles show their mask and clothes from a different angle

An old #Untitledno89 piece! I've been working on scripting this bad boy and I'm so excited to share more with y'all in the future :3
Two panels show Ovidio taking a deep breath in the woods. Between the panels there is a line of text that repeats "thump! thump! thump!" With collaged images of anatomical heart over it. At the bottom scissors cut through this beating heart. The panels are taped into place and everything is grayscale except Ovidio's hair and the red tint on the collage elements

A Carmilla piece I inked traditionally! I really like how it turned out
Carmilla at the end of the bed reaching towards Laura with bloody fingers, Laura reaches back. The moon through the window backlights everything, including the wooden bed posts that have floral engravings and a monster on each post with curtains around them
