I’ve been OBSESSED with this sculpture since I saw it yesterday. I made an ink sketch of it:

drawing of a statue of lady macbeth. her neck muscles are prominent and strained, and her expression is serious. she has cloth draped across her chest.

scribbles, the long way

a picture of two handmade bookmarks on a cutting board. the left one features a woman in a draped cloth holding a child and a lamb. the right one features a borzoi-like dragon.

this design works sooo well as a bookmark!! plus, if you hold it up to the light…

the same designs as the quoted post, with the fox and fox skeleton, but on a bookmark

the bookmark held up to the light, you can see the skeleton through the other side

Diptych, Life/Death

two drawings stacked together, mirroring each other, on a field of stars. in one, a fox trots along with a determined expression, on an orange swirly background. on the other, a fox skeleton appears in the same pose upside down, on a blue background surrounded by flowers.

shout out aphrodite for forcefemming her into a mousegirl

According to Eustathius, Tiresias was originally a woman who promised Apollo her favours in exchange for musical lessons, only to reject him afterwards. She was turned by Apollo into a man, then again a woman under unclear
circumstances, then a man by the offended Hera, then into a woman by Zeus. She became a man once again after an encounter with the Muses, until finally Aphrodite turned him into a woman again and then into a mouse.

deathshead vision

1. figures stand around an open grave, only their legs are in frame. the grave is cut off, and says “Nov. 6th, 2002, Nov. 6th 2025. Beloved Son.”

2-3. two black panels, joined with a sweeping curved action line of leaves falling, and the moth flying. sfx: “sshhhhhhhh…”

4-5. two repeated panels, close up of the young man’s eyes, closed, then opened to reveal the death’s head symbol reflected in his pupils. his hair blows in the wind.

four panels:

1: closeup of the moth, fading to black

2: the death’s head symbol on the moth, full frame

3. the death’s head is beginning to morph and resolve into a vague image

4: the image is clearer, strange figures stand among a white background, their black hair forming the negative space of the eye socket and nose hole of the skull. threads of white symbols surround the skull, shape, which is elongated like a keyhole.

full splash page with the image fully resolved: the foreground figure lifts her arms, looking angelic with her hair in a halo around her head. her face is deformed, with two white eye peering from a skull-like brow. behind her, the other figures loom, each macabre and twisted in their own ways, with exposed ribs and flesh.

panel 2: the protagonist, staring down at the grave. he is flanked by two figures with faces that are hard to make out.

panel 3: the foot, now stepping foward

SFX: WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM

panel 5: the same panel, but the protagonist is almost entirely fallen in the grave. the attendees are beginning to react, their arms lifted up too late. the moth is following him into the hole. a vignette surrounds the frame, darkening to pitch black at the edges.

a double-wide page. two figures stand on a cliff looking out at a landscape. their backs are turned, and one of them where’s a cloak that billows excessively out into the wind. there is a mountain range in the distance, an in the middle, a river bisects the land, with a circular building engulfed in trees next to it. the landscape reveals a labyrinth, strange statues, a cathedral in the distance, a river running off towards a desert, and a pyramid on the horizon.

word bubble: you just can’t beat that view.

Obliteration - ink on paper
