Well I guess I should present myself!

Hi, I'm Asty, I'm a Mexican dark surrealist traditional painter and illustrator, my main mediums are watercolor, gouache, graphite and charcoal

My work's main focus is on the fragility, the wonder and the horrors of life, and the points within which all three meet.

I am obviously very attracted to dark and "scary" imagery, but within my work I try to focus more on making all these horrible "other" creatures and visages to be sympathetic and sensible, trying to understand the plight, the life, the suffering and the joy of all of that which we traditionally consider "too foreign", "too strange", "too other" to be relatable

I'm a chronically and mentally ill person, so for this reason my output can sometimes be a little slow, so please be patient with me, even if I am slow, this is something that I am passionate about and that I put all my heart, blood, sweat and tears into, sometimes literally

If you like my work and want to support me, be sure to drop me a follow, and check out my links where you can buy prints of my work, original pieces, drop me a tip or support me on Patreon!

also feel free to check out my Portfolio for a more thorough look at my current body of work

hey, sorry if you dont use this anymore - i was looking to get a print of Withering Dusk because it's cool as fuck but I heard some rough stuff around INPRNT not paying artists. Do you still get paid by them, and if not, is there a better way to get you money in return for your art?

Hi, sorry for the super late response, been down for the past few months due to severe health issues I had a REALLY rough time with INPRNT last year with their payout times, but they seemed to have fixed it for most people including me, at least it seems so. I still have to wait around 1-2 weeks for their payment to process but it's a far cry from the several months wait me and many other artists were dealing with last year, so, if you want to buy my prints on there, go for it! And thank you for your concern.

Anyone here have experience buying used electronics from Amazon? I found a listing for the camera I'm looking for that's 200 usd cheaper than what I was expecting to pay, is it worth it? mostly worried about warranties and stuff

The comic shop my partner is part of is downsizing their crew due to low sales, and she is being let go. We could use some funds while waiting for unemployment approval, so please consider grabbing something from my shop, or sending a tip. Thank you!
