Pants are an illusion, and so is death.

Blog for writer/illustrator Amazon Binden. Home of weird acrylic paintings and fun from my unpublished comic, Bishop.

Messing with ancillary art of my babies while my head is too clogged to do much else after work. René and Orion's bromance gives me life ❤ #bishop #bishopcomic #hikari #hikaribishop #rené #renémande #orion #orionnakata #amazonbinden #digitalart #instaart #artoftheday #artistsofinstagram #comicbook https://www.instagram.com/p/BxibkF3FFpo/?igshid=d5k9emwi2kio

"Anyway" Acrylic on canvas. 45cm x 35cm I've been working very hard on a comic book series, Bishop, this year. As a result, I haven't painted the whole year. This canvas (gifted by a colleague) has been calling my name for weeks. So, have a sort of Orion nebula with made-up stars because I lost track, with @sen_mitsuji_official (I'm so sorry, dude). . . . #painting #painter #paintersofinstagram #art #artwork #artistsofinstagram #artistsofig #nebula #space #portrait # #artistsoninstagram #artist #artoftheday #spaceart #instaart #senmitsuji #orionnebula #acrylic #acryliconcanvas #canvas https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxb14H4D3ew/?igshid=12nnjyv77v3cj

I've been really quiet because I'm working on something very close to my heart. For anyone who remembers, yes, Hikari and Orion are finally back in my life 😍😍😍 #bishop #wip #hikari #orion https://www.instagram.com/p/Btl9PJ_BLsq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1suqzme20nf7v

Throwback to that time I tried to do a Murakami-themed art work... unfinished (but of course). . . . #harukimurakami #murakami #cat #unicorn #unicornskull #hardboiledwonderlandandtheendoftheworld #art #artist #sketch #pencilsketch #A3 #artoftheday #instaart #derwent #derwentmarkers https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQBX28hVu8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17wks6rq7mopt

"Right Way Up" Acrylic on canvas 30cm x 30cm I have no idea what is happening here, to be honest. It started with a sketch and went downhill from there. . . . #art #instaart #paint #portrait #painting #artist #stars #northernlights #wellsortof #trees #ihopeso #acrylicpaint #artofinstagram #artistsofintagram #artwork #portrait #artoftheday #dusk #cosmicseries #rightwayup #amazonbinden https://www.instagram.com/p/Bre-2PTh9Bx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hejytfpsa28z

"The Agony of Metaphor" Acrylic on canvas 45cm x 45cm This took weeks to finish thanks to the most stressful work month EVER, but finally done! . . . #theagonyofmetaphor #art #artist #artistsofintagram #painting #paintingsofinstagram #instaart #canvas #acrylic #nebula #eaglenebula #space #stars #portrait #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKzNgRBSmK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d4fwhpjv0bqo

Experimenting with interesting concepts because @amplifiedhistory is kind of saving my sanity right now and I'm just so inspired by the timbre of the music and the aesthetic of their performances. Honestly, best discovery ever. If I actually find the energy to paint this it will be a miracle, but I'll post it here if I do. It's been an exhausting year and my soul is worn out. . . . #wip #workinprogress #canvas #pencil #paintprep #heilung #art #artinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/BqasU5eBSGg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dnfaj0ye2yiy

"Restoration of Soul", 45cm x 45cm, acrylic on canvas. This one has an interesting story - it was month end and I was desperate to find SOMETHING to paint on. I found this canvas which had a terrible painting on it, from about three years ago at a time when I was seriously ill with my borderline. So I thought it would be an interesting journey - to restore the canvas and build something beautiful and proud over something painful but in the past. It's a testament to the journey I have made over the past few years - the trauma and heartache and stress all acknowledged and a part of me, but no longer in control of me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BptouByBPyZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fgre4dudup06
