Seeing Things 1 - 14 x 14 by DRHH
I initially painted a sunflower with a carbon black center on this canvas. From there I started adding layers with white acrylic paint. I saw the trees first and brough them forward. Then I saw something weaving through the trees and I gave it color. After that I started seeing things and grabbed my acrylic pens and went on a kind of easter egg hunt. I enjoy this process of looking for what the paint and canvas create and my work is to make it easier for everyone to see the strange things that I see in the canvas.

Story Art
DD and Lyle - Inciting Incident
This acrylic painting capture the frenzied moment when a reckless experiment goes catastrophically wrong. With vivid colors, distorted perspectives, and gritty realism, this piece plunges you into a twisted world of desperation and unexpected destruction.
This is concept art from a work in progress with sark humor, bold storytelling, and the raw energy of the unexpected. (16 x 20)

I found this ugly document in a box today. It was framed. Not sure why. This was an assignment at school. Among other things it says that I will "create something more beautiful than myself."

DRHH and Genoa
Genoa is amazing; she gets stuff done! I sit around, grow hair and watch paint dry somedays. (Acylic Pen)
Clown Girl by DRHH@JGRS
Meet Clown Girl—a chilling fusion of manic whimsy and horror. Her unhinged gaze and grotesque makeup tell the story of a broken world where laughter isn’t medicine—it’s the last sound you’ll hear.

Liferafts
The Liferaft
I am imagining a family who lives on the space equivalent of a mack truck, kinda like space dumplings (highly recommended graphic novel).
In my imagination, the families live in very simple ships known as "Liferafts" as they tow freight through folds in space with only the slightest possibility of profit.
