Sorry I vanished for ages, my body is kind of slowly falling apart and every time something new happens I start the grief process all over again. Anywayy here's a #wip as an apology.

Spent a long time yesterday trying to take photos of my tonsils. For art.
You ever try taking photos of your own tonsils with just a phone and a ring light and your mother giggling at you? It's harder than it sounds

Anyway peep this hot uvula action

Stopping this to go to bed feels physically painful tbh 🍭💕🎀
What colour pallete should I go with?

I hope you are loving and feel loved 🖤

Sometimes I'll draw something and it'll be good, but it won't really feel "mine"? This does though.

A photograph of small mixed media panpastel and coloured pencil drawing in a soft nostalgic pop art style, sitting precariously on some pale blue knitted fabric, leaning against a fence. The drawing is of a red/ orange heart shaped ashtray surrounded by matching heart-shaped candies and some safety pins, with the end of a lipstick covered cigarette sticking out of it, and a single safety pin in it. Everything is in very soft focus with bright, almost shimmery highlights. It has a very pale orange to pink blended background, and the tester piece of paper is still attached, covered in smudges and scribbles that match the drawing.

Day one of posting #wip to hold me accountable so I hopefully finish them.
I'm not sure where to go next with this one.

Hiya, I'm a mixed media artist who makes things of a nostalgic, dreamy, saccharine, or slightly creepy nature. I play with many mediums but do not consider genai an artistic tool and have a genuinely visceral reaction to seeing it. Here's some of my art 🖤 can't wait to meet more artists!

Sorry for being so quiet here this week! I've been super busy and my health isn't amazing but I promise I've been working on art and will have lots of stuff to post in the coming week.

Until then, who can guess which #sanrio buddy is coming next? #art #wip #artoftheday #sanriocore

Stayed up too late adding to this and had to rush the pearls so badly they more resemble water droplets
I've hated every eye I've drawn lately so I wanted to work on that. It's still not what I wanted but I like the outcome. What should I add tonight?

#art #wintergoth #🦇🖤🦇 #panpastel #nostalgia
A photograph of a muted, white and grey mixed media piece rendered in a soft and gentle manner, on a piece of grey paper already adorned with a ribbon bow drawn in the same style and colour palette. The piece is of an eye and small part of face, surrounded by water droplets or perhaps pearls. The eye has long white eyelashes and a hint of white eyebrow. There is the suggestion of more space on the paper, based on the cropping of the image

Getting around text limits by screenshotting longer posts and sharing them as images? I mean, maybeeeee...

I've been too busy the last few days to draw,so I stayed up far too late doing a quick study. I rarely use direct references,so when I do it's a surprise how quick and easy peasy it is. Like of course it was, you could see the entire path ahead of you the whole way??

Sneaky peek of a #wip that I'm working on slowly between other projects. It's possibly the biggest piece I've worked on at a huge.. 9 by 12 inches 💀💀 I can't decide whether to add ribbons, pearls, or both. #beetle #bugsky #sketch #bugart #creature #morute #pastelgoth #roccoco (hopefully)

I cant post one as it's a gift that hasn't been received yet, but here are my favourites this year otherwise. It has been a weird year for art for me what with having to learn a whole new medium for health reasons, plus having months of inactivity and then extreme productivity towards the end.

Self care today is to go cry very hard in the shower to 2 (two) skinny puppy songs (amnesia, ashas) then come out and promise to love my silly chungus life again and put on eyeshadow and wear velvet and see a friend and maybe get a croissant. What about you?

One of these things is not like the other 🕷️ #bugsky #spider
A slightly blurry photograph of a book head on and badly framed, The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone. The cover has a large mass of spider silhouettes as the illustration in black, with red writing. There is a close-up of part of the cover of the same book,this time from the side, revealing that the very smallest spider is actually a real jumping spider that has decided to crawl across the book

This was almost my art name (already taken, of course) and is a phrase I've always considered fits my art, so I'm over the moon right now.

🦑✨insomnia squid✨🦑

Drew this lovecraftian beastie on between trying to sleep the other night. I don't know if it's finished yet but I wanted to post something here. Made with panpastels 🖤

Image description: a photograph of some art taped to a board. A small floating island with purple and white rock at the bottom and flat green grass on top, and a little Welsh farmhouse, a well, and a pond. Behind it, part of a colossal humbolt squid. You can just see it's eye and the flesh surrounding it. The squid is in vivid red with yellow and white highlights and blue black shadows. It's brightness is in sharp contrast to the muted tones of the island.
