My take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is now available as a greeting card in my Goimagine Shop. It’s a lavishly textured Art Nouveau piece with the appearance of depth.

This was made entirely in Procreate, without any artificial generative processes.

Here’s the speedpaint: makertube.net/w/1ojvHNGq64fbCa

The card features an abstract and textured scene of a girl in a coffin shape surrounded by the portraits of seven men, augmented with three-dimensional roses in white, pink and red. Dominant colors are browns, sepias, and golds.

I got this new piece finished on my livestream yesterday. It’s based on “The Frog Prince”. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and the plant chain brush created by Maddy Bellwoar for Procreate ( artbymaddy.com/ ) was perfect for my willow branches!

I absolutely love texture, and I love Art Nouveau, and I love storytelling, so these images I’m doing really make my heart sing!

Here’s the speedpaint:

And here are my artist links:

I’ll be getting this available on my art shop as a greeting card soon!

Stylized Art Nouveau illustration alluding to The Frog Pince. A princess with a floating crown and pink hair laments a missing gold foil ball in the bottom right. A frog on a lily pad looks at the princess. Willow branches cascade downward over the scene from a raised piping filigree surrounding the image. Colors are greens, teals, blues, and yellows.

My stylized Art Nouveau painting inspired by“Jack and the Beanstalk” is finally available as a greeting card in my shop on Goimagine!

I print them in my own studio on my own 8-color printer, then crease, package, and ship them to you directly. There’s no intermediary drop-shipping manufacturer involved. I do it all myself, and create each card as its ordered.

This piece is a richly textured abstracted illustration that I’m really proud of. I did it in Procreate without the assistance of any image generation ridiculousness. The piece took 9 hours to complete with 4714 strokes of my Apple Pencil. The front cover wraps around the spine to the back, and the interior is blank.

“To me, Lang himself is a hero of literature. Besides being the champion of Robert Louis Stevenson & Haggard, he was the first critic to produce a study of Kipling’s work, found a publisher for the young Arthur Conan Doyle’s first major novel… & repeatedly informed the English that Mark Twain was one of the world’s great writers”

“His own fairy narratives, however, and their success in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, suggest… that fairies persist, & become figures of fascination in this period, not because they offer an escape into the past, but because they speak powerfully, if indirectly, about present concerns”

The Bottle Imp · 'A Shy and Fugitive People': Andrew Lang and the Fairies - The Bottle ImpFor Andrew Lang, the realm of fairy land was synonymous with escape. Writing in The New Princeton Review in 1888, the same year in which he assembled his authoritative edition of Perrault’s fairy tales and completed his own novel about fairy abduction The Gold of Fairnilee, Lang lamented the insistence in modern writing upon the ‘ugly, manly face […]
