Almost Summer
at Transplants Brewery
i get sluggish in the heat, i feel like i'm melting onto whatever surface i'm sitting or laying on. This gal's a literal depiction of that feeling, melting like a hot candle, and getting by with a cold drink in her hand. "Melting" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
Ever have those days when you step onto the sun and feel the way it burns your skin, just sizzling every exposed part of you? She's inspired by that feeling- when you're out there, watering your plants, or washing your car, and you feel that heat burning holes in you. Remember to wear that SPF! "Sizzling" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
Tales of mer-people go back many centuries, and are present across every culture. This is a haunting siren i drew some time ago, aimed to convey the beauty and creepiness of the deep sea. "Siren Song" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
Summer means a barrage of marvelous movies hitting theaters! Whether they're action blockbusters, big budget adaptations, or the occasional horror thriller, we love to take refuge in the air-conditioned comfort of a multiplex. This gal's my take on Millicent Patrick's 'Gillman' Creature, but with the proper attire and concession for some sweet, gimmicky 3-D cinema! "Lagoon Creature Feature" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
"The Little Mermaid" used to scare the crap outta me as a kid. The way Ursula turned people into soulless worms, and then transformed into a whole-ass kaiju at the end of the movie, before meeting her (very violent) demise... i decided to pay tribute to the horrifying aspect of that faustian deal Ariel strikes, by imagining these two in a sort of horror poster manner. " Poor Unfortunate Soul" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
last year, Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die" turned a decade old. That means ten whole years of those summer time anthems being in our lives. This is a tip-o-the-hat to the Sparkle Jumprope Queen, with a celebration of the Americana in her music. "Sparkle Up Your Life" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
Whether it's burgers, grilled tomatoes, hot dogs, or corn on the cob, Summers are for firing up the grill, either at your backyard or a city park, and eating with all your favorite people. "Hot Off The Grill" is done in graphite, ink, and acrylic
i always fancied myself a cold-weather person.
i love gloomy skies and being bundled up while listening to the rain land on a window. But after the incessant rain throughout this cold, long winter we’ve just had, i find myself doing something i never thought i’d do…
getting excited for the Summer!
