Some smaller (6x6”) paintings on cradled wood panels for a group art show at the Hive Gallery in DTLA, opening tomorrow evening! I’ll also be showing the 2 larger pieces I posted previously :) #mudras #hands #darkart #weirdart #morbidanatomy

Over on my modellin’ account 🖤😈🦓

Inspired by the recent Corpse Flower (Titan arum) bloom at my local botanical garden. It only blooms for a short period every few years smells like rotting flesh, which attracts pollinators. I guess I’ve been thinking about death and decay a lot lately. #darkart #morbidanatomy #darksurrealism #art

Anatomical Venus or Abjection and the Corpse (acrylic gouache on paper mounted on birch panel) #abjection #monstrousfeminine #bodyhorror #disintegration #art

“Anatomical Venus” I’m attempting to share what I’m working on more frequently! I usually don’t like doing this (I hate 80% of my stuff when it’s finished). I’m liking this one *so far*. It’s based on a drawing from a few yrs ago #gouachepainting #workinprogress #artprocess #morbidanatomy #darkart

Any tips for how to grow my profile on here? I got so many followers in the first few weeks then it very abruptly stopped. Maybe I don’t post frequently enough?

Revelation #bodyhorror #darkart

I thought I was a woman Now I’m not so sure Our bodies and our bodies will be fragmented Into their smallest parts Who we were and who we became #vaginadentata

“Metamorphosis” (2019). One from the archives I just dropped off for Superchief Gallery LA Hidden Gems group show opening May 17th. Maybe see some of you there? :)

It’s been a rather long time since I drew anything in this vein. Guess what show I’ve been watching lately haha. It was really fun doing something purely illustrative fantasy.

Another artist whose work I love. High five pretty decay! 💀

🔥 🥵 ❤️ Ok I have to find the time to do this one

My #hardcoverchallenge winner pick and 3 runners up :) 1. bsky.app/profile/subl... 2. bsky.app/profile/spic... 3. bsky.app/profile/luss... 4. bsky.app/profile/zero...

Very cool recent shoot with @jamiemahonphoto.bsky.social The catsuit is by Jane Doe and horns by Bubbles&Frown 🖤

I gained a few followers from the hardcover challenge (hi!) so thought I’d make a profile for my modeling work. My vextraterrestrial handle was taken so in an attempt to be very confusing (and mess up my searchability) I’ve used a nearly identical handle to this one instead! :p

🕷️(2020) by ozabu is eerie but such fantastic storytelling. #beautifulbizarre #contemporaryart #webs #spider #surrealart #darkart #artcollectors #artmagazine #artinspo #art

Judging the February @hardcoverart.bsky.social #hardcoverchallenge It’s really hard! I love a bunch of them for totally different reasons. Thanks everyone who took part. It’s always really cool to see how artists interpret my model photos

And now for something completely different! These are some sketches from 2019-2021. I have this tendency to start a series, get really into it and if it’s unexpectedly popular (as these were on IG) I stop making them because I have this dumb thing against making repetitive things to be popular.

Here is a new reference for the #hardcoverchallenge. This time by the amazing @ulorinvex.bsky.social and @shphotografia.bsky.social who provided an excellent shot for you to draw/paint/sculpt. Submit your work until the last day of Feb by email ([email protected]) and tell your friends!

Love love this artist

It’s hard to make new art atm. I wanted to share these little watercolor sketches I did a few years ago. I know it’s probably better to stick to one recognizable style as an artist but I just enjoy experimenting too much and have so many vastly different ideas. Also trans rights are human rights ❤️

Resistance is not futile…

I knew this was coming.. still couldn’t manage to read all of it. Thanks to Lila Shapiro for doing so much research and to all the women involved for sharing their experiences. And the women who didn’t feel able to come forward too, I hope seeing this out in the open provides some catharsis

Took a little break for the holidays, both social media and work so no new art updates atm. However! Look at these sweet treasures I got from the recent Oddities Expo in LA! Vintage portable embalming kit and a Spotted Hyena (I think) skull!

"Blind Love" This was done for the cover of the October 1999 issue of Cthulhusex Magazine, and remains an distillation of everything I was into at the time. It found new life when it was featured on the Coilhouse blog in '07. It was my way of introducing Courtney as a character.

If you see this, post a unicorn you’ve painted/drawn 🤍 (I only have the one.. sort of! An older piece from 2018 that I’m still kinda fond of. Needs a redo!)

Just got back from a lovely weekend exploring Death Valley. I’ve been here many times now but this landscape still feels like another world. Back to posting artwork tomorrow!

Finally getting round to reading this, hoping for a bit of inspiration! Any other fans of the Morbid Anatomy Blog and Library here? It doesn’t look like they’re on BlueSky yet

An older (2018) drawing based on model Nina Kate. A mix of graphite, charcoal and white ink. It’s more of a study really; it was very small. I’ve been revisiting older work that I was really pleased with at the time in an attempt to inspire myself out of burnout.

WIP sketch Lady Sylvia Marsh/Medusa mashup. Just messing around… I’m having a bit of an “I hate my art” phase and wanting to try different styles to get out of a rut

QRP with your green art 💚 #Arttrain

The image that made me love my hip dips!

Eek over 600 followers already. Hi! Here’s a very rough new piece I’ve been playing with. It’s more stylized than my usual drawings (still obsessed with Medusa as a subject though). I wanted to do something that could maybe work as a tattoo.

How gorgeous!

Temple of Medusa. I think this is the best drawing I’ve made and it’s very meaningful to me

I’m Christiane aka Ulorin Vex, former fetish model and now a full time weirdo artist. Here are a few of my favorite pieces :)

Back once again! Joining the mass exodus from the other site.. looks like I might actually start using this account regularly? I noticed I gained quite a lot of followers after my last post re: Neil Gaiman.

I want to say huge kudos and all my support to those who have gone public with their experiences. And to all those who don’t feel able to go public, I understand and support you too.

Didn’t imagine this would be what brought me back to BlueSky but it seems to be here that people are actually talking about the Neil Gaiman allegations and I have some things to say 1/5

I’ll mainly be posting my artwork here but I love this recent photoshoot too much not to share. 📸: shphotografia Entire glorious outfit, latex, corset and those boots by Monika Bereza

Acrylic painting on cotton paper. This is actually an art commission that’s going to be printed on a one of a kind garment collab with designer Jordan Terra How cool! The character is based on @razorcandi.bsky.social

Work in progress! Acrylic paint on cotton paper. Character inspired by @razorcandi.bsky.social Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn 🐙
