This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

A recent commission, back to the cave. Slowly started creating some kind of a story in cave paintings in my head, a continuation of the ammonite cave.

This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. It started with the center buck who was originally drawn in my sketchbook and slowly began to take on a life of its own. I'd love to paint this on a building somewhere.

The Sorcerer is a piece of cave art that has stirred a lot of debate since its discovery by French priest Henri Breuil in the 1920s. If his sketch is to be believed, it might be the first depiction of a god, a shaman, or mythological creature in art. Others say Breuil's fanciful interpretation doesn't reflect the drawing's reality, which is now damaged and harder to analyse.

And yet, some claim it might have been an accurate representation of something now forgotten. Something the people of this cave knew, maybe feared, or worshipped. Something as old as the stone they painted.
