Nephilim Slayer: a beastly bronze sword I was fortunate enough to get to forge with @cedarlore with the @coalironworks collaboration series.

Various mythical monsters illustrated by Harry Bishop for Keith Lye’s 1985 Intrepid Explorers. Silly Europeans! That Manticore’s definitely got a GMO superciv hybrid vibe going on, though.
Nothing compares to that beautiful moment: The battle nears its climax, your party and you desperately need a way to get out of this mess… and your d20 rolls on that magical, natural 20.
… Ok one thing does compare: Finally finishing an Inktober for once! :D
Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.): opens Saturday, January 2nd at the @nortonmuseumofart! The exhibition showcases a moving selection of nearly 30 ink portraits created by Venezuelan, South Florida-based artist Jose Alvarez during his time in Miami’s Krome immigration detention center in 2011. The artist, who was arrested for immigration violations after his visa expired, completed a series of portraits of fellow detainees while fighting for his freedom. The subjects’ personal histories will be presented alongside their portraits. At the time of Alvarez’s detention in 2011, his large-scale, site-specific installation was on view at the Norton as part of (April 2 – July 17, 2011), a major group exhibition. @josealvarezdopa’s fascination with the pre-modern and the mythic is reflected in his use of organic, “non-ordinary” materials and his taste for elaborate, epic imagery. His acrylics and watercolors are strewn with porcupine quills, feathers, crystals and shimmering mica. Mixed-media fantasies offer up a densely packed cosmic biology. Alvarez’s works are visionary maximalist masterpieces: super-saturated Miró-esque dreamscapes that posit unsettling questions about the nature of visual reality and the interaction of art and consciousness. Save the date: Alvarez’s upcoming solo exhibition opens on January 23rd at GAVLAK Palm Beach! Jose Alvarez D.O.P.A. , 2014 Acrylic, ink, colored pencil, feathers, quills, and collage on canvas on dibond 44 x 67.5 inches (111.8 x 171.5 cm) ___ #theencounter #josealvarezdopa #josealvarez #contemporaryartwork #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartist #visualart #krome #kromedrawings #alteredstates #nortonmuseum #nortonmuseumofart #norton #drawing #portraits #portraiture #miro #joanmiro #mixedmedia #maximalism #mythic #subconscious #unconsciousart #contemporarycollage #vibratingstrandsofenergy #museumexhibition #museuminstallation #palmbeachart #palmbeach #kromedetentioncenter (at Norton Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZkxmIFSgU/?igshid=152lcklpu2lxk
