This one is just an abstract piece. There are areas that look funky because some of the black areas are painted with a shinier paint that does weird stuff like that when you take a picture. There are little images in the picture, the most obvious being a face that's looking left on the left side of the painting

This one is an abstract portrait. I often have out of body and lucid experiences with what would be really bizarre things like this. I see an almost-human entity with a large and strange head. If you re-orient it, you can see a moth. There are little things to find if you re-orient the painting and let your pareidolia take over, like watching clouds i guess.

It's a bit too shiny because the silvery areas are painted with a chrome paint, and again getting it to look good outside of a video context is tricky.

this started as me exploring making a kind of... fanart? of Adam as depicted in Neon Genesis Evangelion; but it kinda exceeded the scope of that.

As I finish it, I'm not sure where to take it, but i think most of it is there. I'd like to re-work some parts for sure though.

i conceptualize this as a feminine water entity. The curves are a butt. the hair is up top.

the thing with most of my art is it's kinda up to you to decide what you see, my intentions may be what created it, but i get a lot of people telling me they see all kinds of stuff in this work.

a sister painting to the previous, a woman from the side. While unfinished, i conceptualize this painting to be the same being, viewed from a different lens. Like, the former is who she is inside, this is who she is when viewed with eyes.

This was again painted with materials that resist photography; the paint will either become muted grey-scale tones or colorful as depicted, depending on what angle you view it from. I have made videos that detail this, but i don't want to figure out how to upload them. it's a very cool effect imo. I really need to finish this one.

this is what i sourced my av from. just a little doodle i guess. Masked entity looking right, in water, rudimentary environmental stuff sketched in.

I don't understand what I'm looking at but they're still cool! Thanks for sharing!

my friendly advice is to approach it like you're cloud watching. find the patterns in the noise, there are patterns and images in mine.

But if that's not something you do, it's fine. Thank you though!
