I'm still in my planning phase for future work, so I've been looking back at older work a lot lately. This is yet another piece I wish to draw more from.

I have been more active on my instagram than anything else lately, so if you are interested in seeing more frequent posts, or posts dealing with my process, please follow me on there! @laurenmarxart all lower case. <3

I'm having a sketch day, so I won't really have any new images worth uploading for a couple days. Instead, I wanted to share the older piece of mine that is my biggest inspiration for my current body of work that I am creating for Antler Gallery:

"Coragyps atratus", 2015, Ball point pen, Ink pencils, Acrylic ink, Marker, Colored pencil, Graphite, and Gel pen on Hot-Pressed Watercolor Paper, 18 1/4 x 24in. sold.

This piece was my favorite from my first solo show. It was at the amazing, but sadly no longer around, Roq La Rue Gallery.

Enjoy!

New Print!

$25 excluding shipping

From my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/LaurenMarxArt description:

This off-set lithograph is individually signed, titled and numbered. "Attached" print comes in a limited quantity of 100, and once sold out, they are gone! Print size: 10.5 inches wide, 13.75 inches long including a one-inch white border around the image. Each print comes shipped in an unnecessarily large plastic bag (I only have really big ones, which work perfectly haha), in a cardboard tube via USPS. International orders can take a month or more sometimes, so please keep that in mind if you are wanting a print from outside the US. :)

"Attached" is a piece that was included in my November 2016 Corey Helford Gallery, "Flesh Blood Bone". The print provides a very affordable option for art collectors, friends, family and fans! Thank you!

Opening tonight at Corey Helford Gallery in LA is the group exhibition, "Sensory Overload" (Jan. 21st - Feb 18th) ! Below is my piece for the show:

“Sweet Damnation”, 2016, Ballpoint Pen, Ink Pencils, Ink Wash, Graphite, Colored Pencil and Gel Pen on Mixed Media Paper, 16 inches by 24 inches (20 inches by 28 inches framed)

For the show, “Sensory Overload”, I decided to create a piece inspired by religious, medieval, Christian imagery with exclusively “American Midwestern” flora and fauna. Titled “Sweet Damnation”, my artwork tackles the theme of sensory overload with the moth, a pine devil silkworm moth, becoming completely overwhelmed by its interaction with the snake in the artwork. The moth is receiving an enlightening kiss by Satan, represented as a divine, winged black rat snake who is entwining an american persimmon tree. The poor little pine devil is being completely overpowered by the otherworldly touch of the snake's tongue. Missouri is my personal Garden of Eden and I wanted to represent that with this piece, as well as have a little fun with common religious imagery.
