Halloween is believed to be a day when the veil between the living and dead is lifted, where magical beings can wander the world in freedom. This mixed media illustration was inspired by the three witches of Macbeth and the magical oracles of ancient civilizations.

“Corset Backbone” is another gothic-surrealist piece inspired by the mystery of supernatural creatures and the fascinating practice of corset piercing. The original illustration was created with pen and ink, with an overlay of digital color.

“Curious Bestiary” is inspired by steampunk, taxidermy, Victorian oddities and the macabre. This creature may look a bit ghastly, but exists in pure innocence.

“Enduring Hope” is a skeletal homage to Mother Nature and is inspired by Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” and the upcoming Day of the Dead. In today’s pop culture, images of skeletons don’t hold the same horror and disdain as it has in the past and I wanted to explore that concept–where death is an integral part of life and there’s always beauty in the most mundane or misunderstood subjects. This piece was created with pen/ink and incorporates some of my photographic textures and backgrounds.

My bio-mechanical octopus is the main character of “Inevitable Futures”, a submission for the fifth edition of PROPAGANDA LA REVISTA, an online Latin magazine. The theme of the piece focuses on global warming and environmental concerns.
I chose to create a mutant octopus with a stylized gasmask to symbolize the multi-pronged horrors of environmental and climate change. The creature rides on the earth, rather than in its native oceanic habitat. The background has a dark post-nuclear feel, but the sci-fi aspect makes the work more accessible.
