Study of a Ukrainian soldier, with a fierce tattoo that made me think of how the Samurai adorned helmets to embody the powers of animals. • • • #inks #tonal #figurative #painting #slavaukraini #currentaffairs #lifedrawing #study https://www.instagram.com/p/CpD_Pc-LmdH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sharing my past pet pawtraits for #NationalLoveYourPet day today 🐾 I’m chuffed with all the commissions and at the detail I achieve 😬 It requires a steady hand and nerves, as I paint all those fine hairs 🥴 • • • #inks #tonal #portrait #painting #petpainting #pet #pawtrait #comission #art #furryfriends #furbabies #brushwork #pets #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5mGGariKu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posting my recent commissions for #internationaldogday 🐕 My first time inking three portraits simultaneously - tricky, as they’re all mix breeds, so a quick study did help a lot! 🎨🖌 🐾 🐾 🐾 #petportrait #dog #dogsofinstagram #furbabies #pawtraits #sketch #inkings #blackandwhite #handpainted #illustration #art #commission #keepsake #memories #bigeyes #cuteaf https://www.instagram.com/p/ChvEcYqp_8J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Marvel lady risographs, inspired by vintage Barbie fashion cases. Debuting at NYCC this year! Table F15. 💖

They’re dressed in clothes from the year they debuted (though Peggy is an exception – I couldn’t NOT put her in 40s fashion! ) Limited run on these. Planning more characters on the next pass.
