Baby Orchid and Adult Mantis Ink Art
Baby animals are typically cute. This little Mantis is adorable, if you like ants. He cosplays as an ant, until he grows big enough to hunt. Their adult form resembled an orchid. I started by painting the background. He is standing on a little green leaf. The background is the sunset. I also painted the adult version. I used black paper to capture the vivid pinks. Orchid mantis mimic the colors of orchid flowers. They sit there among the flowers waiting for their foot to come to them. Their four legs resemble petals. I made a video of both of...
Jeweled Flower Mantis Ink Art
I made new ink art. I was in a mantis type of mood. I painted a jeweled flower mantis. It has a lot of pretty color. So, it seems like the perfect subject to paint. Most folks paint butterflies.

Synesthesia Alcohol ink Art 2: Copper Blue and Copper Red
This is my final set of synesthesia inspired ink art. They were done on pixiss paper. It is good for handling ink. It doesn’t take much ink in order to paint a pretty picture. Both paintings were done on black paper. I started by adding white in the background. Inks are transparent. So, they need a bit of white for them to be noticeable against the black background. The first artwork was a pretty blue song. It had hues of silver. Eventually, the copper came to the foreground, but not too strongly. The second painting was quite the red artwork....
Synesthesia Alcohol Ink Art 2: Copper Lightning and Copper Bubbles
This is my latest set of ink arts. It was my attempt to paint the colors of the music. Those with synesthesia have sense bleeding into each other. Sound also triggers sight and also scent. There is quite the large variety of synesthesia. Let us move things along shall we. The first painting features copper lightning. Copper was the general theme of all the paintings. It was quite the blue song, with lightning flashes of copper. The second artwork was reds and green tones. Eventually, the copper makes an appearance. It becomes the dominant color in this painting. I photographed...
