The Cross

A Painted Ode to Everyday Goths Every year, I celebrate World Goth Day with a set of original portraits. This year’s project, a triptych titled The Cross, The Wolf, and The Cobweb, begins with The Cross—a portrait of online goth personality @jinxaddie.

I’m thrilled to share Death, the final piece in my Love, Ecstasy, and Death trilogy, now showing as part of the Cult exhibition. This painting represents the transformation we all undergo at life’s end, merging surrealism and psychedelic art with themes of the occult and esoteric symbolism. I hope it resonates with you and invites deeper reflection.

The Vampires at Dawn: Nocturne in Shadows by McDarkart In Nocturne in Shadows, McDarkart introduces us to a vampiress who confronts the dawn—her glassy eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and trepidation.

Here’s a preview of my latest work for Halloween 🎃! A vampire portrait that exudes cool and mysterious energy with a gothic twist. The slight bat-like details in her classical form add just enough to her sorrowful allure. Painted with acrylic and oils, it’s a perfect piece for those who adore dark, vampiric vibes.
