“Making Our Home on the Back of the Monster”
(India ink brush drawing, 2019)
#art #inkdrawing #drawings #bskyartist #darkart #surrealism #surrealart #eyes #skulls
Black and white ink drawing. A large monster takes up the right half of the drawing and he has many eyes, sixteen eyes besides the normal two eyes. It has a large mouth full of sharp teeth and one enourmous arm sticking of its head. Its head is its entire body. To the left of the monster is a factory or crematorium spewing smoke out all into the sky. A crescent moon sits next to the factory. Both the factory and the monster sit on a large pile of skulls. The monster is substantially larger than the factory. Upon the arm and head of the monster sits a small city and houses and trees, as if our entire daily lives rests on a monstrosity. In the sky is a large crescent moon with clouds.

“Among The Dead”
(India ink brush drawing, 2019)
#art #darkart #surrealism #skulls #drawing #inkdrawing #artist #drawings
Black and white drawing. Figure in the center of the drawing with its arm draped over its head. This figure is made of one long intestine. This figure has many eyes, nine eyes to be exact. This figure is standing among a pile of skulls from which a skinny tree stands and offers its shelter. It is night with a cloud covered moon and many black stars.

"Mr Bundle"
(India ink brush drawing, 2020)

#darkart #art #drawings #disease #inkart #inkdrawings #bodyhorror
Black and white drawing of a figure holding up a hand. A middle finger is missing from the hand. The figure has many holes all over its face and neck and chest. On the chest is a face. A head is emerging from the top of the figure's head. All three faces seem uncomfortable and detached. There is a house in the background with a moon and clouds and many stars all over the night sky.

"Body Is An Object"
(Ink brush drawing, 2019.)

#art #bodyhorror #darkart #horrorart #cartooning #comix #drawing
Black and white drawing. A figure, cartoonish figure, stands in the center of a room. His neck is very long. His neck goes up too high and flops down with his head upside down. This figure is deformed and its body is fragmented. It has a false foot. There is a drawing on the wall of intestines. And there is a window with a moon and stars.

This drawing got destroyed. It was one of my favorites from 2020. Just found this pic when deleting all my instagram posts.

(“Dark Machinations” 2020)

A photo of a hand holding a black and white drawing of two figures in the foreground. They are monstrous and filled with "holes" or "sores" and one has a face on its chest. They have sharp teeth and wild eyes. In the background there is a tower. Above which is a moon with clouds.

I'm not sure I can make art anymore. How did I get to this point? Sound making feels more natural at this point in my life. I don't know.

"The supporters of the new visual art thought that if neoplasticism was consistently implemented, art would cease to exist. The composer Jacob van Domselaer wrote: 'Later there will be no need for art; then all images, all sounds will be superfluous!'."

The experience is like being blotted out and replaced. Still you remain, to see yourself disappear. Then your “self” returns.

So, twice in two years I’ve been in pain out of my mind.

It is five days of pain since my double surgery. Yesterday was some of the most severe pain I’ve had in my life.

My body has become a thing. It’s disheartening.

Managed a bit of work on a musical composition tonight. Or rather, a musical non-composition? Or maybe a non musical composition? Without training it's difficult to know where I am standing.

Medical experiences aren’t so bad. They seem to have pleasant aspects that are growing on me. What’s so bad? To be attended to by cold and caring nurses and doctors. The medications that make me drowsy. I’m not immune to these charming attributes.

The anesthesia is very strong! Just got home from surgery. Had a really good time. Due to my wrecked kidneys the anesthesia is going away very slowly. It is very strong. STRONG. 💪 drowsy and fading and fading and fading. Like deep waves.

"Dark Machinations"
(Ink brush drawing, 2020)
#art #inkdrawing #traditionalart #handmade #darkart #monsters #bodyhorrorart #bodyhorror
Black and white ink drawing. Two figures in the foreground one in front of the other. The figure in front has a face on his chest. All the faces have sharp teeth like sharks or insects. There are holes all over their skin. There is a biological tube energing from the top of the head of the front figure. An old castle watchtower is in the back ground above it there is a cloud covered moon. A sense of conspiracy is in the air. A dead tree is to the left and in the background.

"Parent of Horrors"
(Ink brush drawing, 2019)
#art #traditionalart #darkart #inkart #inkdrawing #hanemade #surrealart
Black and white ink drawing portrait. The face and shoulders of a person with a gasping look. This person's face is coming apart into pieces, fragmenting and full of holes. This person, in addition to his normal eyes, also has a giant eye in the top right forehead. The background is in turmoil.

We must prepare ourselves. Think of it from time to time. Acclimate ourselves to it. No no, no more "we"...

I must acclimate myself to it. Come to accepttion of the universal brotherhood that I am entering. I am not the first, nor the last.

"Head Cluster"

#art #drawings #inkdrawings
#artist #artistsky #artistonbsky
Black and white ink drawing of two connected heads, with the eyes close together melding together. Strange growth are on the head, with arms sprouting from the growths. The faces look forlorn. A hold in the top of the head on the right has a worm-like creature emanating from it. A tree grows on top of the lefthand head. Both heads sit on a pile of skulls. There is an open doorway in the background, above which a cloud covered moon sits melded with the wall.

"By the Power of Sleep"
(Ink drawing, 2023)
#art #inkdrawing #darkart #expressionism #bodyhorror
Black and white ink drawing of a figure with the upper part of his face dissolving away "by the power of sleep", with ghostly white trees to the right an even creature in the background to the left and a moon in the upper part of the drawing with a cloud passing over. The figure seems to be transforming in strange bodily ways.
