thing of a thousand masks

Paintings

Most of my traditional paintings are done in acrylic, with additions like glitter and high-gloss sealant for texture. I hope to someday sell these pieces, but for now they make the walls of my apartment a bit more colorful.

Inspired by a view of pine trees outside my apartment. I wasn't sure what I wanted to draw in the gap when I started, but I like drawing snakes and dragons a lot, so that's just what I ended up drawing. The whiskers have a layer of glow-in-the-dark glitter over top of them!

A gas giant planet surrounded by stars. I had trouble getting the shape of the planet right, and it's still not perfect, but I still like how this piece turned out. I used a lot of heart-shaped glitters in the body of the planet, which adds a fun texture in person, but isn't really visible in pictures.

A shattered black planet or black hole with nebulous gas swirling around it. The shattering effect was a happy accident - I tried to alter the shape of the black hole after spraying it with clear gloss, and when I tried to spray another coat on the new paint I had added broke apart on the canvas. Unintended, but I like it!
