The Satyr Loved 

For 2019′s @monthofloveart theme of ‘tears’, with much love to my instagram buds who suggested delicious details (and nuance) for this mopey feller. Even monsters get broken hearts.

Title from Percy Bysshe Shelley:  “The Satyr loved with wasting madness wild…”

A very pointed illustration for @monthoffearart to the theme of ‘truth’. (This is an actual billboard outside of C’bus, Ohio that I’ve passed many a time. It never ceases to give me the shivers.)

Wow, I have NOT been posting here. This is what happens when there are too many SMs to keep up with, BUT. I shall try to post more WIPs and art ruminations to ye olde tumblrmachine and thereby goosing the muse.

I honestly thought I’d forgotten how to draw (and frankly, the jury’s still out on this but on we trudge). So at 2 a.m. a few days ago, I picked up a wee scrap of watercolor paper and tried to draw a snake. It sucked. I dumped powdered graphite on it and smushed it around. Erased some spots. A face emerged.

I popped open Pinterest and found a pic that looked a bit like that smoky ghost haunting the page. Hours later – after much reworking and the addition of water-soluble graphite and touches of acrylic pens and paints – this is what I got. It’s a whopping 6″ square.

It’s not awful, but took much noodling to get it anywhere close to something presentable. At least it got there eventually! Small victories. Now, maybe I should work on something bigger than a floppy disk. (Remember those? I bet ya don’t, heh.)
