Skulls and Poisons
I’ve been a busy witch, writing and illustrating my heart out since returning from festival goodness. I had some professional deadlines to meet before heading out East to Ontario and here’s a sneak peak at the pen and ink linework drawings I finished this week to accompany an article I wrote – deer and bear skulls with delicious poisonous plants:
Below is the current state of my desk; covered in illustrations, dried Douglas Fir tips, Sequoia wood, a crow wing, toad bones, woodwork to ship tomorrow, and my tray of beads and charms for crafting talismans. I have many plans for making things once I’m able to catch this mystical “free time” thing I hear rumour of… perhaps it will appear after I’m finished all of my travelling.
Beautiful! I love working in pen and ink and adding intricate details. You must know those bones and plants inside and out by now!
The deer-skull line-art is stunning; I really never tire of seeing your work =)
Gods your drawings !! <3
I'm particularly in love with mushrooms these days (not as breakfast but as a source of inspiration for paintings^^) and yours are wonderful. The skulls are too…
I really love the way you draw, with simple black traits, without colors it's even stronger I think.
Tropane alkaloids…”the Witches Brew.” I understand a brewer in Oregon makes an Amanita beer, & the “moonflower” datura has a sanguine subspecies…worthy projects both.
oooooooooh…
What is this “free time” you speak of?
