On Friday night, a local gallery hosted a secret garden fundraiser - the bloom garden held 12x12 canvases by artists in the Austin area. I was so happy to be a part of it 🖤 #atx

March’s self portraits 😮‍💨 I procrastinated doing these until the very last day and ended up with different creative results than what I was going for. Still glad I did them anyway! 🖤

My take on the popular Icarus design. I’ve seen other fallen angel types but they’re male. I wanted a female and bat wings to present a darker theme. Which resonated with this volunteer too 🖤 #tattoo #art
A female figure with large bat or demon wings in a falling position tattooed on the back of a person’s shoulder.

I started doing these 4”x6” #drawings to push myself to practice more and perfect less. I call them my done-not-perfect drawings 🙃 I wrote more about the series here www.thehumanamy.com/post/done-no...

Finished the WIP from the other day and ended up tattooing the design on a friend 🖤 #tattoo #art
A realistic black and white flower design with delicate shading, its petals curling in a dramatic, moody fashion. A black and white photograph of a person’s upper arm featuring a freshly inked tattoo of a detailed flower with shading and fine lines. The tattoo wraps slightly around the arm, following the natural curve of the muscle.

#selfportrait before and after 🖤
A woman dressed in a black, long-sleeved dress with an open back and fishnet stockings crouches in a wooded area, holding a lit white candle. She has dark makeup and wears black ankle boots. The top image is unedited, showing the earthy tones of the forest floor and green foliage, while the bottom edited image has a darker, moodier tone with a more dramatic contrast. Her gaze is intense, and the setting gives an eerie, witchy aesthetic.

Today’s ink drawing is a design I created on procreate during Inktober last year. Wanted to take the character to paper and add this 4x6 drawing to my shop 🖤
Black ink drawing of a person with a-symmetrical shoulder-length messy hair. Their eyes appear to be crying black ink, which drips down their face. They wear a high-neck sweater, and their torso transforms into a field of blooming flowers and plants. The drawing has a melancholic, surreal, and gothic style.

Anybody else find #self-portraits a fun way to explore creative concepts?
A woman dressed in a black, long-sleeved dress with an open back crouches in a forest setting, holding a lit white candle. She wears fishnet tights and black ankle boots. Her dark makeup and intense gaze add to the moody, gothic aesthetic. The overcast sky and barren ground contribute to the eerie atmosphere. The same woman stands with her back to the camera in a forest, wearing a black open-back dress. She holds a lit white candle in one hand while raising the other toward the flame. Her long, wavy brown hair cascades down her back. The surrounding dark trees and cloudy sky enhance the mystical ambiance. A woman in a black dress stands in a forest, staring directly into the camera with piercing eyes and dark makeup. She holds a lit white candle in front of her, its flame flickering. The background is blurred with twisted tree branches, giving the scene a haunting, ritualistic feel.

Added some gothic architecture to my arm last night #tattoo
A black and white photograph of a person’s forearm featuring a gothic-style castle tattoo in black ink. The tattoo has an abstract, slightly distressed appearance, with dripping elements extending from the structure. The image is taken at a close-up angle, highlighting the details of the tattoos.

My most recent art project using the stippling technique of adding dots to build layers. 🖤🐍 #art #drawing
A black and white drawing of a ball python snake using the stippling technique of layering dots to add texture, patterns, and shading. The drawing is the main subject with a dark background that could be a desk with pens.
