This is the second art piece for Inktober featuring creatures from Slavic mythology. This time, I’ve depicted a stryga. I decided not to rely on Witcher games and books, but to create something of my own. In my version, it’s a restless spirit with owl-like features, referencing how they were sometimes depicted as owls.

Issue 33 of Black Spring Weekly unravels the threads between art, folklore, and the restless mind. Inside you’ll find studio notes on my latest paintings (Temptation, Ms. Krampus, Chamber of Pantomime), tarot insights, and experiments with skin tones and oils.

This week’s fascination explores Drake’s Drum. a vessel of myth said to protect England in times of peril. Like the ravens of the Tower, it asks: what echoes of ourselves will we leave behind?

The zine is completely free! It's a badly designed glimpse into the artist’s process, folklore obsessions, and the not-so-fine art of making. Download it, share it, keep it close.

Story in caption. Week 4 - Saci Perere (#creatuanary2023 day 27)

This week I report on another fascinating R&D project by the leading supplier to all the nastiest dungeon keepers in Almaos. This one actually had made it to some test market dungeons! Market research had forecast a vast market for a mischievous but not too aggressive creature for entry-level dungeons. By magically hybridizing a dark gnome, a garden gnome and the infamous one-legged flamingo, R&D created the saci perere, adorable small creatures with one leg, never to be seen without their pipe and a magical red cap. Yet, these annoying tricksters manifested an unrestrained appetite for mischief! Saci would miss no opportunity to play a nasty trick. Initial feedback from the test dungeons promised a huge success - dungeon keepers loved them! That intellectual inhibitions did not restrain their passion for playing tricks was by design and key to their success. Yet, it also proved their undoing as heroes learned to flood the dungeon with cheap, knotted strings. The saci’s craving for pranks compelled to them undo any knot, keeping them too busy to upset the heroes anymore. R&D tried to salvage the project by creating a string devouring slug, but they also ate essential parts of the dungeon infrastructure. In the end, the project had to be abandoned.
