The darkest of darkest feelings, the mood of a crappy day, where you never feel adequate or good enough, the anger of years of work gone up in smoke, the exhaustion of people (men) constantly belittling and diminishing everything you are and have worked hard for, the solitude after the "perfect person" doesn't see the same in you, the bittersweet joy of good friends while in horrible places.

This is a slowly growing series of illustrations to nod to all of that.

They are gritty, imperfect and unpolished, almost like sketches.

Fun fact about the bird on "Purging", it is called Marabou Stork, and is an absolutely disgusting looking animal! A carrion bird, it loves to hang out in human landfills.

It can be found as 'Gothic Hell', or click on each image below to be taken to all the products that contain each design.

Story

The original artwork was the now called "Merry", it was originally inspired on one of my favorite Goth music songs when I was a teen. Unfortunately the artist turned out to be such a disgusting racist piece of sh*t person that they shall never be named again. As for the design it inspired it still it remains one of the favorites at the shop!

Following is the very first version made when I was a teen, made with gouache and color pencils, not too beautiful.

Process

Some sketches and screenshots of the process.

Art thieves are at large

My illustrations, designs and even mockups are constantly being stolen by less than human scum that put it for sale on their Etsy, Amazon, Temu, Aliexpress shops and other places. Hence my watermarks are getting bigger, because they have even cut my mockups or blurred my signatures.

Please help me by not posting my artwork anywhere without signatures, credit or links.

Thank you! 🖤
