I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

Halloween is almost here 🖤🍷🩸
Illustration by Abigail Larson for "The Horror Tarot" depicting a seance scene in tones of red. Hands rest on a planchette hovering over a Ouija board. There's a red curtain backdrop, and a vintage brass lamp with a red glass shade lights the scene. Small candles and a red glass water pitcher and goblet are arranged on the table. An illustration by Abigail Larson from "The Horror Tarot" depicting someone fast asleep in a large green antique bed while goblins with glowing yellow eyes and shadowy hands creep out from the darkness unnoticed. Illustration for the Horror Tarot of the Queen of Cups card showing a vampire in a Victorian dress drinking blood from a goblet. This illustration is from "The Horror Tarot" deck published by Insight Editions and illustrated by Abigail Larson. Illustration is a stylized version of "the chariot" tarot card depicting a black horse-drawn carriage approaching an ominously glowing cliff. The horse is rears at the edge of the deep red precipice. The background shows a large tree obscured by thick mist.

(Some of) the stamp rally goodies for #twstnyc 's Playful Land event this Saturday! Despite various disasters, I'm working hard to have the rest & prints finished soon. The rectangular one is a magnet. :) #twst #artsky
Circular holographic sticker featuring fox beastman Fellow Honest/Ernesto and sidekick Gidel standing in front of a target with darts and weapons thrown. Holographic coffin shaped sticker of Skully J Graves with his hands crossed over him in corpse pose. 2x2.5 inch magnet with Twisted Wonderland characters Fellow Honest and Mallet Wielding sidekick Gidel, standing in front of a target with various weapons lodged into it. The words around them read "Step Right Up!"

If you are thinking about getting a Sawgrass sublimation printer, please know that they do not do direct OR authorized repairs. They will send you how-to pre-recorded videos. You are your own maintenance person.

That and the printer is already expensive, and the software is agonizingly slow.

The drop rate is so broken; wym I got Twelve (12) Jades on 6 ten-pulls and a single? 3 in one pull is crazy work 🤣🤣🤣 Bro is trying to reach me about my car's extended warranty. I have been spammed by Eel. #twst
Close up of Twisted Wonderland character Jade Leech's face in his Nightmare Before Xmas event outfit. He knows what he did. Screenshot of 10 pull result from Twisted Wonderland. 2 results are the same Malleus R card, and 3 event SR Jades.

"The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland attract many visitors each year, but little is known about the dragon that dwells there. Despite the visitors, very few have claimed to have ever seen it, and so it’s existence has been considered simply a tale of the high seas."

I think he's done...maybe...

...maybe...

Skully is so precious, and for what. Anyway, this particular Burton style was a lot of fun; very crunchy, heavy handedness on the inks. Unpolished is somewhat the vibe, but I have the Aries edition of the Too Much Gene.

Meanwhile, in NBC event, the lion does concern himself with being sucked into a vegetable.
#twst
Close up screencap of Twst Leona Kingscholar's face, wearing his nightmare before Christmas event attire, eyepatch included, stands in front of the open Pumpkin Door that is sucking him into the NBC realm. Leona hates vegetables. At least it's not a cucumber.

Drawing of a character in a striped suit much like Jack Skellington in a coffin shaped cutout, in which his hands are crossed over his chest in corpse pose. The Halloweentown Pumpkin Tree door is behind him, from Nightmare Before Christmas.

And, importantly, it was for *artists*.

Investing in creatives having sustainable lives creates better art, which benefits society in a multitude of ways (including financially).

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
