Inspired by the recent Corpse Flower (Titan arum) bloom at my local botanical garden. It only blooms for a short period every few years smells like rotting flesh, which attracts pollinators. I guess I’ve been thinking about death and decay a lot lately. #darkart #morbidanatomy #darksurrealism #art
Acrylic painting of a female figure against a sepia background, her back facing the viewer and face turned back in profile. Her head has the suggestion of a cross-section showing the brain anatomy with a mohawk haircut and the front of the face has the outline of the skull superimposed. Her neck and torso are painted to suggest peeling open like a flower to reveal non-anatomically correct internal anatomy. Her right arm is tucked out of view and the other rests at her side and is missing the hand. There are 4 hands floating around her making various gestures, the top right one is pulling down the bottom lid of a floating rolled-back eyeball. The hands are simultaneously pieces of raw meat.

Anatomical Venus or Abjection and the Corpse (acrylic gouache on paper mounted on birch panel) #abjection #monstrousfeminine #bodyhorror #disintegration #art
Acrylic-gouache painting on a cradled birch panel. The subject is a stylized woman back to viewer looking over shoulder, with an oversize butt and extra long arms with oversized hands. Her skin is grayish green and her right side is cut away to reveal inside reminiscent on anatomy but not anatomically correct. She has long red hair floating up to the left top corner of the image. In the top right corner is the suggestion on the internal anatomy of a breast

“Anatomical Venus” I’m attempting to share what I’m working on more frequently! I usually don’t like doing this (I hate 80% of my stuff when it’s finished). I’m liking this one *so far*. It’s based on a drawing from a few yrs ago

#bodyhorror #darkart
Pencil sketch on aged yellowed paper of a nude female figure kneeling with legs wide apart, leaning slightly backwards and almost face on to the viewer. Her feet have long clawed toenails and she has long messy dark hair past her waist, falling behind her. Her head is tilted up and back. The eyes are dark and messy and the slightly blank facial expression could be interpreted as sullen or irritated. The focal part of the image is a giant eyeball protruding from the vagina, as if being birthed

I thought I was a woman
Now I’m not so sure
Our bodies and our bodies will be fragmented
Into their smallest parts
Who we were and who we became

#vaginadentata
Pencil sketch on aged yellow paper of female figure sat holding knees to chest with face half hidden behind the knees. The toes of the feet are morphing into roots or branches and spreading across the bottom of the page. There is the suggestion of a unicorn-like horn protruding from the forehead

“Metamorphosis” (2019). One from the archives I just dropped off for Superchief Gallery LA Hidden Gems group show opening May 17th. Maybe see some of you there? :)
Colored pencil drawing of a weird elongated alien-esque humanoid with their back 3/4 to the camera looking into the distance face in profile. Skin colours are predominantly deep pink, blue and lilac. They are wearing an asymmetrical neck and shoulder corset collar based on a Mother of London design. They have 3 elongated arms with large clawed hands, one on the right and 2 on the left. The 2 left arms are partially joined together and pulling apart with tendrils. There is a large eyeball embedded in the lower middle back.

It’s been a rather long time since I drew anything in this vein. Guess what show I’ve been watching lately haha. It was really fun doing something purely illustrative fantasy.
Fantasy art pencil sketch of a winged woman on her knees holding a large sword by the hilt with the blade piercing the head of a creature laying on the ground in front of her. The creature looks like an orc that has been infected by cordyceps from the video game The Last of Us

And now for something completely different! These are some sketches from 2019-2021. I have this tendency to start a series, get really into it and if it’s unexpectedly popular (as these were on IG) I stop making them because I have this dumb thing against making repetitive things to be popular.
Red pencil sketch outline of 7 pairs of nude legs spread wide and stacked on top of each other, unintentionally reminiscent of 7 chakras or stages of the moon. One of the pairs has a subtle vagina dentata and one an eyeball peeking out. Red pencil sketch outline of nude lower torsos, one female and one male. They are joined together at the waist as one. The alchemical Rebis or Great Hermaprodite, which represents a union or balance of opposing forces. An attempt to reconcile my gender fluidity.

It’s hard to make new art atm. I wanted to share these little watercolor sketches I did a few years ago. I know it’s probably better to stick to one recognizable style as an artist but I just enjoy experimenting too much and have so many vastly different ideas. Also trans rights are human rights ❤️
Stylised watercolor sketch of a slender nude trans woman with long hair flowing in the air. Head looking gracefully and confidently upwards and turned away slightly, one arm above her head. Her body is a mixture of mauve and deep blue colors with dark rose pink hair. Painted on white buff paper. Witchy goddess vibes. Stylised watercolor sketch of a medium curvy nude woman with full natural breasts. Standing straight with head turned away. Hair flowing in the air. Her body is a mixture of green and violet colors with deep violet hair. Painted on grey-green paper. Green forest goddess vibes. Stylised watercolor sketch of a nude woman with very full hips/thighs and medium breasts, leaning over with arms in a spellcasting pose. Head turned away in profile with a slight smile. Her body is a mixture of mauve and deep blue colors with very long red hair. Painted on warm light grey paper. Witchy goddess vibes.

Took a little break for the holidays, both social media and work so no new art updates atm. However! Look at these sweet treasures I got from the recent Oddities Expo in LA! Vintage portable embalming kit and a Spotted Hyena (I think) skull!
Photo of a vintage traveling embalming kit used by morticians, comprising 7 large glass bottles and a selection of metal tools Top down straight on view of an animal skulls presumed to be a hyena. It has a very large sagittal crest Top down three-quarter view of a carnivore skull, presumed to be a hyena. It has a very pronounced sagittal crest.

If you see this, post a unicorn you’ve painted/drawn 🤍

(I only have the one.. sort of! An older piece from 2018 that I’m still kinda fond of. Needs a redo!)
Illustration of an albino woman wearing pony boots and a unicorn head harness riding a flaming Red Bull. There is a small purple butterfly hovering below the bull’s face. The piece is referencing The Last Unicorn animated film

Just got back from a lovely weekend exploring Death Valley. I’ve been here many times now but this landscape still feels like another world. Back to posting artwork tomorrow!
Blonde woman in sports wear and hiking boots standing on a rock and looking off into the distance. The location is Titus Canyon in Death Valley national park Two ravens perched on a sign above the Death Valley National Park gift shop. They’re looking off into the distance and the light is hitting them in a way that highlights the neck ruff feathers and eyes A panoramic photo of Ubehebe Crater in Death Valley National Park Landscape photo of Little Hebe Crater in Death Valley National Park

Finally getting round to reading this, hoping for a bit of inspiration! Any other fans of the Morbid Anatomy Blog and Library here? It doesn’t look like they’re on BlueSky yet
Photo of the book The Anatomical Venus: Wax, God, Death and the Ecstatic by Joanna Ebenstein. The cover art features a close up of the face of a 19th century life-sized wax bust of a dissected woman

An older (2018) drawing based on model Nina Kate. A mix of graphite, charcoal and white ink. It’s more of a study really; it was very small. I’ve been revisiting older work that I was really pleased with at the time in an attempt to inspire myself out of burnout.
A stylized graphite and charcoal drawing on grey toned paper of a woman’s head. She has small demon-ish horns, long black hair with a pointed fringe and a septum piercing. Her hands are floating crossed in front of her face, they are drawn in outline only with white ink

WIP sketch Lady Sylvia Marsh/Medusa mashup. Just messing around… I’m having a bit of an “I hate my art” phase and wanting to try different styles to get out of a rut
Unfinished line drawing sketch of a stylized Medusa head. She has oversized fangs in the manner of Lady Sylvia from Lair of the White Worm film

Eek over 600 followers already. Hi! Here’s a very rough new piece I’ve been playing with. It’s more stylized than my usual drawings (still obsessed with Medusa as a subject though). I wanted to do something that could maybe work as a tattoo.
Stylized rough line drawing in pencil of the head of Medusa. She has extra long fangs as a nod to Lady Sylvia in The Lair of the White Worn film

Temple of Medusa. I think this is the best drawing I’ve made and it’s very meaningful to me
Greyscale pencil drawing of a powerful, statuesque nude (artistic) Medusa, front-facing with defiant facial expression. She has 4 arms reminiscent of a goddess, 1 is holding a sword and 1 is holding a helmet. The helmet is a tribute to the original Clash of the Titans film. The suggestion is that she has survived and defeated her attacker

That always stuck with me even though I didn’t acknowledge the creepiness of the entire request until much later.

I’ve attached some screenshots (with permission) from a private conversation about this I had back in 2022. AA/A is my ex to clarify. 4/5
