bookmark_borderDrawing: Magickal Synthwave Witch

I hate how the iPhone 11 Pro Max doesn’t capture true color, I had to modify this in Photoshop to show the pastel quality of these Zeyar highlighters.

Drawn last night, I stayed up til 1:30am drawing and listening to music.

A part of me wishes there was a place where I could just dance. No one bothering me or making small talk. Spirit dancing, moving your body to music, releasing toxins. I recently watched this video of Irene Cara (RIP) and she literally looks like a spirit dancing in human form. Then you listen to the actual lyrics and she’s talking about immortality and being remembered. I swear everything takes on a different meaning when you’re older. Or actually, the message was always there; it was my own understanding that took years to catch up to the message.

I did go to a party in an undisclosed warehouse in DTLA more than 10 years ago and I did just that.

Well since I’m old and don’t know where to go anymore for such things, I just danced in my room in between drawing. That was enough for me.

bookmark_borderA Witch for All Space and Time

I just really love how this gif came out (it was a gif, but made it into an mp4 to make the file size smaller). I could probably create a million more versions of this, and I most definitely will.

This is a photo that I took of my Butterfly Witch painting. I setup my Aura Quartz crystal skull in front of the painting among other Quartz crystals and took the photo. I then took it into Photoshop and cut out parts of the background. I then brought it into After Effects. I can’t remember the rest of the steps from there, but I’m using the Tunnel effect that you can probably search YouTube for the After Effects tutorial.

As soon as I hit “post”, I fixed up another version that I will make into a bigass gif just like this one 😉

bookmark_borderPainting: Manipulator – 2009

Personally, this is one of my favorite paintings. It’s dark & bright at the same time. This is one of those rare moments where I’m not thinking too hard about what I want to create, I just went with it.

Description: painting of a woman’s head and upper torso with her right hand raised. Her lips are red and there are four teardrops falling from her cheek. There is an eye on the palm of her hand, while her seeing eye is white. Her hair is feathered and she has devil horns. There is also a skull with wings in her hair, combined with her hoop earring. There is a candle that is lit with dripping wax next to the skull. She wears a cross necklace and there is a rose tattoo on her neck.
