Planting Seeds For A Future Self — helveticablanc.com/20260720-pla... — #helveticablanc #wormsong #ophanim #angel

A ring-like angel cries from one of its many eyes while reaching down toward a mound of soil. Their tears fall upon a small plant growing from the soil, and you can see another hand reaching upward from below. Behind the angel is the title in Wormrōte.

I thought I'd start a regular thing where I feature some of my favorite client work! There's no better place to start than with the album cover for Victory Over the Sun's "Nowherer" — votsband.bandcamp.com/album/nowherer

An album cover for Victory Over the Sun's 'Nowherer'. On it, a heavy, many-eyed, twisting ring holds an offering bowl and flame over a pyramid with indecipherable text. Cutouts and collage of music and lyrics decorate the forms, and the background is a pink sky with cutouts of clouds, a star, and wings.

Hi, I'm Helvetica — a mystic artist and illustrator exploring ritual, symbolism, and myth-making within a personal spiritual framework. ✍️ Sketches & Monthly Stickers patreon.com/helveticablanc 🃏 Cards, Zines, Originals & Sigils helveticablanc.bigcartel.com 🖼 Prints inprnt.com/gallery/helv...

A ring-like entity reaches down with one hand to touch a bowed, haloed figure. The scene is small, the size of a tarot card, and is rendered in graphite, brown ink, conté pencil, and bronze paint.

A cow reclines with a halo between her horns and stars decorating her flank. She carries a sculptural ring and bowl upon her back, and incense smoke rises from the bowl, leaving the frame. Texture fills each shape, and sparse linework, writing in Wormrōte, and decorative elements complete the piece.

A cartoony green goblin holding a bindle walks towards a cliff while a worm looks on. The scene mimics the Fool card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck.

The magician Āyen is painfully pinned to the ground by a cross-like sigil, and is trailed by other sigils that have missed their target. Large, ribbon-like asemic text bursts from the frame above.

The magician Āyen steps to the top of a staircase and beholds Otherwise, dotted with ribbon-like and geometric entities, surrounding a massive black heptagon in the distance — the Throne of Heaven.
