Hi! My names Riad and I just opened commissions. All info in the Carrd linked. Please consider reblogging or commissioning me if you see this post. شكرا جدا!! :]
Too much black and white. I needed some color. In addition to copics, I think I’m gonna get back into my watercolors again, especially for my illustrative poster/cover works. Just testing out my watercolors on manga paper. The final verdict? It’s okay. Allows way less water and layers of paint than I’m used to (which makes getting darker colors/ skin tones more challenging), but it’s not bad for just creating a mood. I threw some screentones in there for fun. I haven’t been feeling too well lately, so this was a nice lil test. —— Follow and favorite my IG account for more and join my email newsletter to receive updates on my debut manga, RESENTER 🖤🖤✨✨ Also consider becoming a Patreon for early page access, concept and character art.

Celebrating Black History Month by highlighting two incredible visual artists. You may have seen Chris Pyrate’s artwork around Washington, DC. He is also called the “fake florist.” He is a prolific muralist who has partnered with companies like Nike, UNIQLO and Adidas. Another favorite of ours is Edmonia Lewis, a formative sculptor from New York who challenged the art world. Sign up for our newsletter for more info about today’s Black History highlights. If you’d like to nominate an artist, feel free to DM us. @chrispyrate Photo credit: 1- David Andrews @dandrewsphoto 2- Elvert Barnes @elvertxbarnes #BlackArtistsMatter #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateBlackArt #SupportBlackArtists #DiversityInArts #ArtistsOfColor #EmpoweringBlackArtists #BlackArtHeritage #HonoringBlackArtists #BlackArtistryMatters #AfricanAmericanArtists #BlackArtInMotion #BlackCultureInArt #BlackExcellenceInArt #BlackVoicesInArt #BuildingBlackArtCommunities #ShineALightOnBlackArt #ThePowerOfBlackArt #BlackArtInspiration #BlackArtLegacy #dmvartist #dmvartists #dcartist (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLF4lLuuq_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking for new and unique art for your walls? Prints of my art (and mugs!) can be purchased from the links below. Both links offer the ability to see the art on the walls before you buy it, various size/framing options, and free shipping in the US.
https://ArtPal.com/victoriajoann - This shop is a bit more expensive, but has a huge selection of customizable features. You can get a classic print, stretched canvas, a framed print, or a mug. You can customize the mug/print/canvas size, frame color, canvas depth, the color and size of the background matte, and even the type of glass used for framed prints. If you're looking for a good gift, this link gives you an assortment of options to choose from for a truly unique experience.
https://www.vsual.co/shop/victoriajoann - This is a more sleek shop, with a slightly lower markup, and faster shipping. You can choose between semi gloss, or super matte, and customize a small collection of frames/options, or buy the print alone!
My original pieces can be purchased in person. (If you're ever at my house and see a painting you like, feel free to ask, it's probably for sale)
Another studio photo. The last time I did was at our old apartment and it was before I had accepted myself as the witchy-horror lovin’-alt-blerd baddie that I am. Once that door was opened, I knew I wanted my creative space to reflect that. We moved in March and this is what is the results are~ RESENTER and so many more horror manga will be created in this space. -- Follow and favorite my IG account for more and join my email newsletter to receive updates on my debut manga, RESENTER 🖤🖤✨✨ Also consider becoming a Patreon for early page access, concept and character art.
