Artwork: Pride & Propaganda

Pride & Propaganda

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

Pride & Propaganda is inspired by the Gothic art of the 1400s and the counterculture rumblings of modern street art. Weapons (guns, bullets, and grenade) become design elements, framing the skeletal figure and visually unifying the piece. The point of this artwork is not to offend religious persons, but rather, an artistic expression–to show that propaganda is a form of advertising, and the largest vehicles are war and religion.

Skeletal Piano: Initial Drawing

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

Skeletal Piano is a mixed media piece inspired by the biomechanical style of H.R. Giger and Beksinski. The initial drawing was created on vellum with graphite. It was then scanned and colored in Photoshop.

Artwork: Darkness Falls

Darkness Falls

This artwork was created while in a Halloween mindset. The concept was to replace a human backbone with a snake and a ribcage as wing elements. It veered away from that a bit, so I may revisit the theme a bit more later. The influences for this piece were artwork from Giger (bio-mechanical elements), mysticism, tattoo art, and alchemy (symbols in the background). Traditionally drawn with pen/ink, then scanned, and digitally colored. Larger image here.
