“Death By Air” Oil Pastel Painting Art

| marandarussell

Originally, I made this oil pastel artwork “Death By Air” as a statement about pollution and climate change, but it kind of works for Covid 19 as well lol.

One of My Favorite Recent Artworks

| marandarussell

I just sold this oil pastel painting the other day, but thought I would share because it is one of my favorite recent artworks I have made. I like the earthy, a little bit dark atmosphere, and the figures in line. If I remember right, this was inspired by an old, vintage photo of men waiting in a line to go to their factory job.

Luna Lovegood Fan Art Mini Zine

| marandarussell

I made another Harry Potter fan zine. My last one was for Severus Snape (my favorite character), and this time I decided to do one for Luna Lovegood, my husband’s favorite character and one of my other top picks. I love how Luna was so truly creative, kind, and out there (and I mean WAY out there lol). I love people like that.

Here is a look at the cover and first couple pages of the 8-page mini zine:

Do you like Luna? Who is your favorite Harry Potter character?

I only made 5 copies for the first run, so if you want a copy, check them out on my Ebay store soon!

 

Making My Own Zines

| marandarussell

Lately, I’ve really gotten into making my own zines – handmade little booklets of my art and writing on subjects I find fun or interesting. I am selling these on Ebay, but there are currently limited print runs of 5 copies each (I’m not sure if I’ll do future reprints or not). So if you see one you want, you might want to get it soon 🙂

Here are samples of the ones I’ve made so far (covers and first page of each zine is shown):
