Wow, time sure has flown by. It's time to rip off my band aid of procrastination and get writing again. So sorry, it has been so long.
In the last 6 months, I have been finishing up a book project and working on a bunch of new portraits. In case you missed them in the shop, here are a few of my favorites. I hope you like them!
F. Scott Fitzgerald!
F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Portrait
F. Scott Fitzgerald is best known for works the "Great Gatsby", The Beautiful and Damned" "Tender is the Night" and "This Side of Paradise" as well as many short stories. As a reader, Fitzgerald opened my eyes to the incredible hidden world of the 1920's. He will always be an inspiration to me and I am so happy to paint his portrait.
He is available here in the shop!
Next up, The incredible Franz Kafka!
Franz Kafka Literary Portrait
Franz Kafka Literary Portrait
Kafka is another favorite writer. He brings out the goth in me. Kafka is most know for his stories, "The Trial", "The Metamorphosis" and "The Castle". Kafka is regarded by critics as one of the most influential writers in the 20th Century and he is beloved around the world.
I drew him here with a Metamorphosis homage to his Dung Beetle self (Gregor Samsa) wrapped around his neck.
He is available here in the shop!
Last but not least, Say hello to the incredible and strange H.P. Lovecraft!
Lovecraft is such a inspiration to me, although I came to know him later in my literary life. I love the way this mind works, digging deeply into the psychology and heart of reader. His life was full of tragedy which influenced the way the wrote. Although he became most known after his death, I couldn't imagine the world of horror with out him. Below is my illustrated ode:
Debra Styer, The Call of the Lovecraft, 2015
Isn't his little Cthulhu cute? You can find them both in my shop here!
Now that I am officially blogging again, I promise not to take so much time between post!
Thanks for reading!
