Every plague doctor is a crow. Or maybe every crow is a plague doctor... 'For Love of Death'

When your bartender asks you to paint his cat... ...you have to make it awkward. 'Bare Necessities'

If you like Ai, please leave the room...forever. Everyone else, kindly enjoy my second painting of the new year. And yes, it's insanely foggy here today. 'For the Love of Death' Acrylic on framed wood panel.

I ensnared a trio of tall & lean canvasses. And then I took them into other worlds. This one, my final painting of 2025, is perhaps the loudest of them. 'Unheavenly Bodies'

I'll get back to darker art soon, but... ...went wild with the colors on this one. 'Garden of the Grey Fae'

Hi everyone. Tonight I'm showing off my newest style of artworks. While this one looks like an original painting, it's actually a Plak-mounted print. This particular piece is titled 'Penultimate.' It's one of my favorites from last year. Want one? shadowartfinds.etsy.com/listing/4394... 🌙🌙🌙

Everything was closed today. So I locked myself in and finally finished my very first painting of 2026. This one was initially meant to arrive way back during Halloween. Hence the subject matter... 'Passion for Pestilence'

New Year resolution: Paint until my hands turn to ashes.... This one is the final artwork from 2025. It consumed about ten days from inception to the final brushstroke (a flower petal.) 'Unheavenly Bodies'

The final midnight of 2025 approaches. I give you something dark to ponder... 'Memory of Mortality' Acrylic on deep-edge canvas.

My black cat found her way into a dark portrait... 'Fearless Familiar' Acrylic on canvas.

The final painting of this year is a truly massive canvas. It took roughly ten days to get the background finished, the moons painted, and the textures just right. Farewell, 2025. May you never be heard from again... 'Unheavenly Bodies'

A common question: "Can I use your art for my tattoo?" The simple answer is yes! All I humbly request is an inexpensive download of the artwork from my shop. Link to the downloads is: www.etsy.com/shop/ShadowA... And for art tribute today, my favorite painting of the season - 'Penultimate'

The light is doing strange things today. Oh well... 'First Memory' Acrylic on canvas.

Not the weirdest thing I've ever painted. ...but close. 'Widow Moon'

This is the painting I've chosen as the cover art for my newest art book, Coffee Table Cats - Part Deux. It's a rare one, in that I actually gave the cat pupils instead of ghost eyes. The painting is titled 'Dreaming of You.' Link to the art book is here: shadowartfinds.com/books-to-read/ 🌙🌙

It's always a challenge to photograph wide & lean paintings. Social media doesn't like this orientation. And so here's my newest huge canvas, albeit at a distance. 'Memory of Mortality' More photos are at my website...

This curious fellow is from New Zealand. He just wants to ask a few questions... 'Only Have Eyes for You'

I'm elbow-deep in working on the final painting of 2025. In the meantime, a dark little thing appeared on my easel. Three flowers, and the keys to unlock everything... 'Grave Garden'

Today, whilst reminiscing of eons past, I decided I wanted to share some of my oldest ever paintings. These were all special in one way or another. I'll miss them always...

I went way back in time to create art prints for one of my oldest paintings ever... 'Slumber of the Sun God' shadowartfinds.etsy.com/listing/4430...

Perhaps an angel to haunt the top of your Christmas tree... 'The Forsaken'

The closest thing to a Christmas tree I've ever painted... 'Reincarnation'

To craft the background for my newest painting, I assailed the canvas with brushes and a big paint knife. The textures which resulted....raw, scratchy, almost violent... 'Vale of the Broken Blossom'

Firm in my belief that everyone should be able to grow antlers... 'Primordial'

Tonight is one of those 'I can't post my newest painting because of Puritanical social media standards' nights. And so... You get darkness instead... 'Unbeknownst'

'Oublietta' And no...the original painting doesn't have the white stripe. That's just for the Puritans...

Sometimes I paint with fire... 'Swords for the Soulless'

When the day fades away to dusk, the trees are the last things I can see... 'Last Light' Acrylic on canvas.

It's true painting ravens is satisfying work... But painting owls is the greater challenge, and utterly engrossing. This one is titled 'Seer of Seasons.'

I painted my cat, but with a 'slight' addition to her already ridiculous appendage... 'Night Tales' Acrylic on canvas.

Took a few risks and blended frosty blue with umber & copper. I don't think she's impressed... 'Captive of the Crescent'
