Inspired by dark fantasy and watching too many episodes of American Horror Story and NBC’s Hannibal, “Excelsius Trio” crawled into my mind. Its ethereal quality captures the mysterious beauty and potential darkness of the supernatural. This Illustration was created with pen, graphite and digital coloring.

“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.

Artwork: Inevitable Futures- Gasmask on the Octopus

My bio-mechanical octopus is the main character of “Inevitable Futures”, a submission for the fifth edition of PROPAGANDA LA REVISTA, an online Latin magazine. The theme of the piece focuses on global warming and environmental concerns.

I chose to create a mutant octopus with a stylized gasmask to symbolize the multi-pronged horrors of environmental and climate change. The creature rides on the earth, rather than in its native oceanic habitat. The background has a dark post-nuclear feel, but the sci-fi aspect makes the work more accessible.
