Another painting concept sketch. I was looking at a fair bit of Francis Bacon.
It’s just called Skin Ladder for now. Very smart.

Painting concept. My attempt at coming up with something that AI won’t be able to copy. Hands, hands and some more hands.

Finished and base sketch of one I’ve been doing in my downtime whilst I think of some more horror/macabre art stuff.

Been going back into all my old art bits and finishing them off, so (for now) I’m finished here.
A drawing of Aquarius from from the zodiac. Getting to finishing them all

Somehow this is what came forward when drawing Virgo for the Zodiacs.
I don’t know.

I’ve nearly finished this one as well called Fold. As ever a beautifully bog standard name.

A painting of Limb that’s not quite finished, but sometime over the next 45 years might just be.
I would make a Silent Hill game or work with Shinkawa please. Thanks
