Excelsius Trio Art by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com

Inspired by dark fantasy and watching too many episodes of American Horror Story and NBC’s Hannibal, “Excelsius Trio” crawled into my mind. Its ethereal quality captures the mysterious beauty and potential darkness of the supernatural. This Illustration was created with pen, graphite and digital coloring.

Conjuring Skeletons

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.

Skeletal Cello: Melancholy Sonata

An early Happy Halloween to you!

This illustration is part of my (growing) series of skeletal musicians, made with pen/ink, digital coloring and a touch of photo textures. It explores the dark romanticism present in the melancholy sound of the cello.

Enduring Hope

“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.
