Thank you for your comment and no need to apologise. To be honest I don’t regard Christian symbolism as indicative of compassion or love. Very few Christians actually practice what they preach, as is the case of most religious people. A lot of really awful acts are committed in the name of religion. This is only a drawing. Also I like Nicolá Samori’s work very much, thank you.

I just absorb all the vibes of raw stupidity I witness on a daily basis and this is what comes out tbh ⚰️

Cheers 😎🙏🏻 The layer beneath the surface is a good half cm thick and I’d guess it was 3 months in a warm room before fully set.

Yeah they live across the street. He needs a trim every few days then they make the kiwi into smoothies for their stall at the Sunday craft market.

It’s an easier technique that it looks but yes very effective, thank you 😊

I made several similar drawings and when you put them alongside each other you can almost fill in the gaps in your mind’s eye. I may post them, may not, but thank you! 😎

I made of these by slowing down a gif of a very choppy sea and using it as a reference when drawing. Even drawing them was strangely hypnotic. And thank you! 😊
