Text: Thicket Pariedolia Image: a creature resembling a deer made of twisted birch tree branches shedding golden leaves. It prances through an abstracted wood, a pale stag in a stand of summery green leaves.

PRESENCE (1992)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” x 36”

Originally done as a large color study for another painting, it has become a favorite of mine just as it is.

www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/pr...
A cloaked figure stands in a dark pocket of forest illuminated by a floating sphere of light. Trees rise above dwarfing the figure at they peak at the top center of the canvas, giving way to twilight sky that seems to glow light blue beyond the trees and darken reveal stars. Close detail from PRESENCE providing a closer look at the figure illuminated by a floating sphere of light. The brilliance creates a starburst of radiance. Because of it, we can see the contour of the robe the figure wears including billowing sleeves but we can’t make out the face.

It's been a while since I've shared a longer form comic from years past on here. "Muse" has to be one of my favorites, featured in Paroxysm Vol 2 back in...2020. Damn. It's kind of a love/hate letter to art school, inspired partly by a horrible rash I had on my hands during that time. (1/3)

In addition to tabling this month for @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social I will be doing a virtual panel on healing within the horror genre, with a focus on community catharsis and queer horror. I hope you can join us and participate in the other workshops and events they have going on all month long!

Gushing Gold,
Expose Explode
🐝🩸
{no 16; #watercolor #illustration #horrorart #horror}
GUSHING GOLD is a 14x14” watercolor painting with digital elements. A golden figure looks up at the viewer, he is emerging from a small square tub of blood. Enclosing him are walls of jade tiles, some are glowing. He has one hand to his face and another reaching out. Globs of gold melt off his hands, a red wasp sits on his outstretched thumb. He is smiling and wearing a red blindfold. Gushing Gold is the 16th painting in my 18 part series EXORCISM and the 3rd painting in my EP: Familiar Faces.

Amalgamation, the Fool impearled
Flipped the card, it was The World

{no. 18; #illustration #watercolor #art}
AMALGAMATION is a 14x14” watercolor painting. A person with long jade hair tied in a ruby scrunchie holds a merry mushroom tin up in their right hand - releasing a burst of red light and Cecropia and Luna moths. They stand in waist deep water in front of a wall of swirling retro orange tile. Peeking in the corner is a 70s wallpaper. The person wears a vintage cardigan and a golden brace around their neck. In their bandaged left hand they hold a half decaying fox with a ruby eye in his skull. They all smile.
