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:

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

 

2 Emotional Abstract Expressionism Artworks

| marandarussell

I created these two emotionally charged ACEO abstract artworks not long ago. The first was sort of a cry of frustration when I was having trouble writing new poetry that I felt was any good:

This second piece was sort of a plea to the world and to those around me specifically to see me as I really am, a feeling that is pretty common when you feel misunderstood (as I’m sure we all do from time to time):

I hope you like them 🙂 Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! If you want to see my art currently for sale, check out my Ebay store!

It has been a little bit since I did an art post, so here are three of my favorite ACEO size artist trading card artworks I’ve made fairly recently. The first is a fiery forest oil pastel:

Next, we have this cute mixed media cat lantern:

And lastly, here is another oil pastel, an abstract expressionistic painting that just speaks to me on some level.
