Drawing me

This is a selfportrait without mirror. And I can tell you: that's really hard.
So while not very correct, it was very much fun to do. But in the end it doesn't really look like me at all. Or so I think ;).

The unadapted

There is a kind of moth, the peppered moth, which favorite tree is the birch. And while a birch is usually white, exhaust fumes and other black nastiness caused trees around factories to become dark. Which can be quite a problem if you're a white moth.

I thought the image of the unadapted moth against the dark bark was quite striking. 

On account of the technique behind this picture: it's not a cut out. It's also not made with masking fluid, because I don't own that (I would have loved to though while making this, would've saved me some headaches). It's just made by extreme carefulness.

Tree with saplings

It's a walking tree! With kids! And murderous razor sharp roots! And it has absolutely nothing to do with Tolkien!

Also, it might be carnivorous.

My heart

Not literally, of course. What began as a sketch to practice swirly patterns (I do not like patterns, not to design them myself at least. Unruly things, patterns) grew into a art-schoolish experimental pen-picture.
It's not very visible, but the lines and writing, which is deliberately near-unreadable, depict the major veins of the heart. I think 'aorta', left on top, is still readable.

Art Nouveau with a twist

Since I am an avid fan of both Art Nouveau (Mucha! ) and animal corpses a joining of those two was inevitable, right? It certainly did lead to this picture, which borrows both from my creepy imagination and the art nouveau movement.

The flowers, which do not seem awfully appropriate in this picture, are poppies and deadly nightshade (belladonna). I fear though the belladonna is only visible in close up, and even then just barely. These flowers are actually very appropriate, as they symbolize death.

Which is exactly what the main monster is. A kind of walking corps-ey, ghoul-ey thing. In my head (where everything is possible, mind you) it's kind of an exploding fur-ball, as shown on the left bottom of the sketchpage. I.e. it has only fur when it needs it, shedding it when hunting or eating and "exploding in fur" when cold.

Also, last but not least: pen drawing! :)
