9 of Wands

Material gain. Compounding of interest. Power begets power.

Nobody wanted to talk about Ophelia's new modifications. Everyone knew she'd go on for hours.

Front page image for my redesigned website. Said website has only been tested on browsers I can run on my Powerbook; I hope to make it work on IE this weekend.

Cover art for a double album that never was?

a private katabasis

Giving in to that weird late-night urge to draw some of my semi-self-image characters as boys. Sosael/Atazael is a lot saner than she used to be, but she's still fundamentally crazy, and still gets off on blood and death. (Or, rather, 'he' in this particular moment.) This preference is kinda creepily perky now, though.

Absinthe T-shirt

T-shirt design for the comic I've been working on the past few months. Will be available (with the right URL) sometime after I launch the comic.

Ace of Cups

Water in its most secret and original form. Fertility, beauty, pleasure, happiness. Productivity.

Ace of Pentacles

Will and Fire. Force.

Ace of Swords

The root of the powers of Air. Invoked power; justice, force, strength through trouble.

Ace of Wands

The Root of the Powers of Earth.

Another Dissatisfied Customer

The oracle never gives you what you want.

A mixture of a never-really-used remix of an old muck character of mine, reading Gorey's "L'Heure Bleue", and the residue of a day mostly spent thinking in spirals.

An Egyptian rabbit, drawn after some meditation on cliches of species/costume pairs. . Or is she just a well-costumed flapper? One or the other. Digital coloring done over three days in Illustrator 9 atop now-vanished traditional inks; no actual reference used for costume design, only my mental store of Egyptian costume cliches picked up from countless Nile valley furry drawings by many other artists.

Apogee

Probably the most joyously inappropriate winter holiday card ever.

Arial, for Ashtoreth's birthday. Uncensored version.

I chose to emphasize her sinuousness and evil instead of her mammaries and genitalia, as most art of her has.

Arial is owned and operated by Ashtoreth, not me. *grin*

AI10 and a pencil sketch. As if I really do anything else. Um, she turns into a frog-fox when the moon's full.

There are strange urges deep within us all. Sometimes they come out.

Tonight I had a burning need to draw a dragon with excessively large tits and rubber clothing.

I do not know why I had this need.

I merely obeyed it.

I seem to be making some sort of series of images involving raccoons.

I rarely express angst through my artwork. By the time I put pen to paper, other emotions bubble up.

This reaction to the World Trade Center terrorist attack is strongly inspored by the work of good ol' Walt Kelly.

Boi-Bumbá

Garantido and Caprichoso. Which side are you on?

I was inspired while looking through the 'VCL Horrors' community on LJ. Isn't she CUTE?

The ears were enough to fool the other cats until it was too late.

From a photograph of me.

There's a story behind this one, but I shan't tell it. All you need to know
is that maybe this dragon is one of my sisters. You don't even need to know
if that's an IC sister or a VR one.

Me, happily weaving beziér splines.

Surely, every parent has suspected that their sweet, beautiful, well-behaved child has been spirited away by the fairies, a nasty creature left in its place?

Done for littlepagans.com, where you can buy this on a t-shirt.

One third of a larger piece, which is still in progress.

Closeup of 'Charlotte.jpg'.

Two years later, after her traumatic time in the Up-and-out trying to bring post-scarcity technology to backwards planets, Charlotte-Sophia could barely remember what it was like to be the idealistic girl in this snapshot.
