A Portrait Of A Dear Friend.

A portrait of a dear friend.

Image ID: A dark skinned boy with bright red hair playing a bone flute. He wears a golden circlet with a braid pattern and matching gold bracelets. He has a green shirt with gold stitching on the sleeve ends and the collar. The stitches make x’s. A goldfinch covers his eyes. Two more fly around him. A full moon casts purple light in the background. A scattering of stars surround the moon. The sky transitions to purple at the top of the canvas to gold at the bottom.

A 13 year-old squats in a puddle of blood in 3/4 view with her back mostly to the camera. She has black and white converses, black pants, and an oversized jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up around her wrists. On the shoulder of the jacket, there's a black circular patch with a red dog's paw in the center. The half of her head closest to the camera has shaved short, pink hair. The other half of her head has three spikes of pink hair with the last one falling over her face. She smokes a cigarette nonchalantly. The smoke swirls over her shoulders and coalesces above her head in the silhouette of a snarling dog. Its eye is a glittering red diamond. The background is a dark green that becomes slightly bluer towards the center, vertical strokes give a sense of walls closing in.

Another day, another oc (Dogslobber) and another osha violation. (pretty sure 14 year olds are not legally allowed to smoke and that blood puddles are work place hazards).

More Kira. Causing problems. Being gay and doing crimes.

Image Id: A person with pink hair and a black baseball cap leans with one foot against a wall. Her hands are in the pockets of her green jacket. She’s wearing a black tank top, green leggings, and black combat boots. She’s blowing a blue bubble of gum. To the left of her feet are a pink, purple, and blue spray paint can. To the right is a black backpack with a blue handle and pocket. The pocket has a pink waterbottle. On the wall there’s a pink and bubble starburst graffiti that contains the words Bubblegum + Bass in blue letters with yellow backing.

A cartoon green frog with brown spots and a paler green underbelly sits behind a gray stone wall with his front feet on it. His eyes are large and yellow and he is wearing a purple witch hat and cape tied with a lavender ribbon. There are two potions to other side of him on the table. The left is pale blue and glowing, the right is a dark bubbling purple. Three potions are hung from a brown vine above him, pink then orange then pink again. On both sides of the potions are glass orange spheres filled with fireflies with vines twined around them to attach them to the hanging vine. Behind the frog, a pale blue moon hangs in the purple sky. Yellow fireflies flit around the booth.

Will you buy his wears? He promises he knows what they all do!

Older piece (fall 2019) but never posted it and still like it a lot.

A korean leaps into the air with a silver baseball bat held in both hands over their shoulder. They're wearing a dark blue leather jacket with asymmetrical tails, a white shirt, and gray shorts. They have purple and white striped socks and black and white converse. A black backwards baseball keeps their spiky black hair in check. Their expression is angry and intense. A green bandana covers their mouth. They're lit from below by orange city lights, and from the left by a row of blue street lights, receding with the brick buildings into the distance. A city skyline stretches behind them beneath a sky that goes from orange at the bottom to dark blue at the top.

They're here; they're queer; and they're ready to fuck shit up.

Another oc, different story than dogslobber and different than Kira. The working title is Symbol. They're name is Ryder, alias Rookie. What are they fighting? Wait and see.

Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.

Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.
