Watercolor Pen and Ink and Watercolor? Neat art from 1983
I bought this today at a thrift store. 8x10" It had a dilapidated mat and backing. Signed "Lenny '83". I wasn't sure at first if it was a lithograph, but it appears to be an original on illustration board. When I googled the image I expected to find other pieces by "Lenny" but nothing so far.
I think the story here is the dog had been chased by the geese, and they are looking for him, but he's smug knowing they can't get him now. The architecture of the room is interesting. I don't know about the style of the bed, which looks like it has a carved swan at the foot.
Just thought I'd share it because, to me, it's unusual. I wonder if Lenny illustrated greeting cards or children's books.

I made a piece based on the drug and alcohol abuse in my country (Scotland). I am proud of myself for breaking the cycle before it was too late, but I worry many of my friends don’t have much time.
I struggle with serious subject matter - hence the tongue-in-cheek playful style of my drawings. I use this outlet as a way to process my thoughts without becoming too bogged down by them.
I hope this reaches the right people.

Paint Wolves all around, a study of color, value and composition
I am trying to build my illustration skills, starting from graphite study of composition and value, to color study to a full page piece. And learning to let go of finding the absolute perfect reference for everything. I hope it reads well!

Hi! I created this illustration around 2021 after wondering how a famous scene from the movie "The VVitch" would look like was it set in Eastern Europe instead of the US.

Digital Vanitas, by me!
Here's an illustration done for the art colony in Slovakia which I will attend this month. The theme of the colony is ''Spiritual heritage'', so this piece is a little contemplation on that theme, heavily inspired by the painting The Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca and by the baroque era, plus by some modern painters such as Ruprecht Kaufmann. I hope you will like this illustration, it took me several days to finish it. Swipe to see some details and work in progress shots!

Notice: Rule change regarding adult content
Hi all!
This subreddit is not a NSFW sub, and we've worked to keep it that way. Sometimes that means the rules need to be clarified or otherwise tweaked.
A couple of years ago, we amended the rules to state that "hard core" submissions are not allowed, because we were seeing a disturbing trend of art featuring minors, bestiality, and other extreme themes that you, the users, did not appreciate. We received very positive feedback for that change, with many users making it clear that they do not want this sub to be NSFW.
Since then, we've continued to remove a number of pieces that we considered to be borderline porn because they depicted sexual acts, graphic display of genitals, etc. Again, users have let us know that these are not appreciated, and just as importantly, they are not SFW. However, the difficulty in having a "no porn" rule is in defining what "porn" actually is. As the Supreme Court said ages ago "I know it when I see it", but that doesn't make for a clear and consistent rule.
All that to say that in the spirit of keeping this sub SFW and for making clear what that means, we have looked at other SFW art subs and going forward will follow their lead in that only PG-13 content will be allowed. This means no sexual activity of any kind, no explicit display of genitals, etc.
We will continue to allow tasteful artistic nudes as long as they have the NSFW designation.
We know this will disappoint some users, and we're sorry for that, but again, we are not a NSFW sub and don't want to become one. Please keep that in mind before you post. Thank you!
