I’ve got what those of us in the art biz refer to as a cohesive body of work. Then there are my divergences. Nature is almost always at the root of my inspiration, sometimes I just feel like expressing it a little differently.
The creatures we identify with Halloween, including bats, owls, corvids (thinks crows and ravens) and black cats, bring me joy year-round, as does art inspired by them. These animals continue to battle bad reputations among the superstitious and are deserving of positive press. In the spirit of the season, the San Diego Natural History Museum shared a short piece debunking some of the myths about bats out there. They’re mutual friends of ours if you don’t like being swarmed by mosquitos and enjoy tequila and mezcal.
Prints of any of these pieces can by purchased by clicking on the images of them below. Thanks for supporting living artists and Happy Halloween!
