Ode to Mutation.. Imagination oversaturates- ideas colliding, fusing, too fast, body and thought merge again and again. Is this too much, the many-limbed thing we have summoned? Or merely the moment’s delirium— our minds mutating into new terrain? #surrealism #blackart #creature #blvckvraneae

Before Blvck Vraneae (Earlier Works) He couldn’t help but remember he was a celebrated myth. Boldly grounded— elegant and ritual, beyond means. All the mutations have not removed his own adornment. #Photography #BodyAsArt #Presence #DramaticLighting #CulturalFusion #Shamatic

In High School not in class, I always checked in with the Librarian if the 1984 book was available and while reading it I begged the Librarian If I could keep it.

Something’s in the air Sun is blazing yet Leaves weeps on the ground. I walked to the dark To be become Wrapped in silence deep a cocoon shields weary eyes— the crowd fades to dusk.

Cup runneth over, Drooling upon sacred flesh, Extracting its soul. - Essence #nsfwart #eroticart #boudoirart #blacksky

Beyond the temple, Strength and fragility entwined, Yearning for pure fire. - Landmark #eroticart #boudior #goonsky #boudoirphotography #blacksky #figuredtudy #bodyart #artnude #fineartphotography #sensualart #muscular #chiaroscuro #artofthebody

Submission (Shadow Work) Phantoms whispering My mind chases shifting shapes, painful mirages I must surrender Shadow, hidden friend What shall we shape together? A healing for souls.

Sentinels of the Dusk The eyes watch the dusk Cowries rest on beating chest Shadows hum like drums As the chaos ensues I wouldn’t beg for peace— That double edged sword How much of its blades Can I cut into a void— To make………..Space?

Cleanse. (What the Ocean Took) It pulled All of my impurities Leaving marble.

Quote this with your favorite mug.

Blood Moon Spider. One night. Upon the blood moon. He stand firmly in admiration of his dysmorphia among his 6 arms. This humanoid form. This state he’s reveals his vulnerability and his strength. He is slowly weaving his true power by might and blood..
