Forgotten Innocence, Skeleton Cherub Angels by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com



“Forgotten Innocence” is a mixed media illustration of delicate skeletal cherubs holding on to the beauty and dangerousness of nature. This was inspired by macabre Victorian creations, mythology and the stunning Renaissance paintings of Italian masters.

Skeletal Cello: Melancholy Sonata



An early Happy Halloween to you!



This illustration is part of my (growing) series of skeletal musicians, made with pen/ink, digital coloring and a touch of photo textures. It explores the dark romanticism present in the melancholy sound of the cello.

Enduring Hope

“Enduring Hope” is a skeletal homage to Mother Nature and is inspired by Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” and the upcoming Day of the Dead. In today’s pop culture, images of skeletons don’t hold the same horror and disdain as it has in the past and I wanted to explore that concept–where death is an integral part of life and there’s always beauty in the most mundane or misunderstood subjects. This piece was created with pen/ink and incorporates some of my photographic textures and backgrounds.

Black Dragon

This is the first time I incorporated coffee and tea in my artwork. Since I’m not a coffee drinker, the small coffee grinds in the kitchen were finally of use. Also, I found that Darjeeling tea had a darker color over Lipton.

After a few washes, diluted sumi ink was splattered by tapping on the paintbrush. The dragon was then applied with several pens on the very forgiving clayboard. Overall, the creative process was very fun and satisfying.

Whirlwind of Negativity

Inspired by old social/political ink drawings, this emotional piece is about being swept away by external forces (incidents, people, etc) and the negative emotions that come with it: fear, ignorance, hate, jealousy and insecurity.

The piece was created with pen and scanned into the computer. Text was created on a path in Illustrator and subtle coloring/texture was added in Photoshop.
