I wasn't going to share this because I needed to sit down and draw without intention or expectation. Removing those things allowed me to sit down and just draw without anxiety for the first time in the past week. Though is drawing is inconsequential in my sketchbook. . . . #arr #fantasy #darkfantasy #taurus #jessdrawingthings #sketchbook (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6W41Kuk77/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"It will be alright". . . What story does this piece tell for you? . . This piece was a struggle to finish. I always try to give elements that let the viewer fill in their own narrative. My struggle was finding something that was ambiguous enough to tell a blatant story. . #art #fantasy #imaginaryfriend #child #falcor #sold #childrensillustration #creaturedesign #awesome #littlemoments #hug #imagination #graphitedrawing #jessdrawingthings #raleigh (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQ0-2Wjmuz/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Oh, No sir. We aren't making coddling noises at a babe but this is a hostile take over. Your court wizard here was entertaining children in all the wrong ways and you sir have been embodying your avian mascot far too well." . . I've sank more time into this drawing than any before it.

"Maintaining control and structure is difficult when your natural state is entropy." . What makes you feel confident and in control? Drawing is one of those things for me. I sometimes lose time to thoughts and emotions that are difficult to articulate but drawing always centers me and makes me feel in control. Maybe it's a form of meditation for me. . . #art #drawing #graphite #fantasy #darkart #darkfantasy #biomechanics #illustration #being #patternart #woven #complexity #awesome #scifiart #jessdrawingthings (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0NHojDZRH/?igshid=afkpqq8pzms8

"A somber melody meandered in the air as the robed one danced gracefully between the beds. With his approach the occupants slipped into eternal slumber, free of their plight." . . So I was perusing Reddit and someone posted a woodblock print by Alfred Rethel. I'm a sucker for old school prints and thought it was relevant to our current pandemic. The original is from the cholera outbreak in 1832. I feel as though I can't compete with the original but here is my take. (Swipe to see the original print) . Everyone stay safe out there.
