Hi all!
Thanks for checking out my blog and supporting my work! I wanted to take a few moments to share with you one of my recent projects. As you may have seen, my work spans a variety of topics and styles and media. Lately I’ve been focusing on watercolor technique, and the practice of creating small works around themed collections.

(I’m excited that my first art showing of 2018 will include my illustrations of 5 drag queen portraits!)

It’s been really satisfying to create small artwork around a theme, and build these little vibrant collections. I really love seeing them all together lined up as a cohesive set!

My very most recent work is inspired by female icons which are considered heroines in pop culture! I have focused on movie, game, television, and comics/graphic novels to find the subjects for this series. It’s been a really fun project in part due to the fact it happened accidentally! I set out to create a fun piece to cheer myself up, and it spiraled into a burst of inspiration like no other! I’ve had a great time also receiving suggestions from friends, family, and the public on which heroes to paint next. (Feel free to leave your suggestions on any of my public posts surrounding this theme or in this blog comment section!)

My latest two submissions for the heroines series included Michonne from The Walking Dead and Ripley from Alien/s

(Bonus: there’s a short Timelapse video or two of my painting both Michonne and Ripley on my Instagram is you wanna check that out. More timelapses also available on my YouTube channel!)

I added the first five lady heroes up in a blog post on my website: http://www.imaginariumarts.com
Along with a little post about friendship and strength and my thoughts on needing a hero 📝

March is #womenshistorymonth so it is definitely fitting I should embark on this project starting this month. I am excited to see where this heads. 🧠🌈👍🏻
