Shelena

melting

The ink feels so alive in the moments when the world melts away. It is a sleep that is not connected to me.

art is sex

I remember being in art school and a friend who was a nude model asked me if I meant to draw her with "ethnic trades?" It then occurred to me I did draw her in charcoal with a different nose and it changed her face huge. I remember trying to fix it for twenty minutes but it just blurred the whole thing. I later looked at the paintings of Picasso and noted he painted how he painted and made no apologies. I'm not Picasso but I learned I could be in a way him. Now i can draw a nose right on a face but I draw mostly in ink now because little mistakes can be fixed with textures and learned secrets but mostly it's art. I am a painter or as i call myself and very few others do "El Pintor" . It's all life and love and sex of canvas. Each painting is a child made from the sex of creativity and practice.

the masks we put on cats

I had this fear even after I scanned these illustrations for my big kid coloring book project that it might disrupt how people painted them. I'm really excited to finish it even though I have ten more to do after listening to your thoughts on how many pages I need. It should be very beautiful.

Question

So I'm working on my coloring book zine and I'm not sure many pages to stop at. How many pages should I do? 10 ,15 or 20?

every bit makes everything

So as you saw in my video I made this painting a few days back I really love working with goldleaf. It adds a bit extra.
