Finished this up in my livestream on Monday. It’s my take on hans Christian Andersen’s “Thumbelina”, done in a heavily textured Art Nouveau style.

It’s another in my series of fairy tales and fables. Took me 12,195 strokes in Procreate, and 14h 51m to complete.

I tried adding in some different pattern textures this time around, giving it a bit more of a “mixed media” feel. I used some of Spanish illustrator Ittai Manero’s brushes from his Dynamic Stippling and Patterns brush set. I love his brushes.

Koloman Moser- Die Quelle. A serene, idealized female nude stands as the focal point, representing the source of life, purity, or inspiration—“die Quelle” (the source). She often appears as a goddess-like figure, embodying nature or a muse. The setting is typically stylized rather than naturalistic, with a decorative, flattened design that draws from Byzantine mosaics and Japanese prints—hallmarks of the Vienna Secession style. https://www.theviennasecession.com/die-quelle/#jp-carousel-7516

This piece is inspired by the fairytale, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Jack’s tale has had a lot of iterations, and it has shifted and changed over time to omit different elements depending on the era in which the tale is being told.

A lot of folks consider Jack to be a thug, a simple irresponsible child burglar, but one important fact that is often left out of the tale is the nature of the Giant that ultimately gets killed. But in some versions it clearly states that the Giant is not liked in his cloud kingdom and has stolen most of his treasures from others. some iterations specifically mention that his bedroom is littered with the bones of victims he’s eaten doesn’t say much for him either. Pretty horrible stuff done by a not-so-empathetic giant.

So is Jack actually an irresponsible kid? Or might he be considered …

A stylized Art Nouveau-inspired illustration depicting a small Jack figure in the bottom of the picture plane ,climbing up a large beanstalk on the left that ascends on the canvas toward filigree clouds with a landscape over his shoulder in the distance. Primary colors are blues and greens on a canvas texture with “foil” leaves.

My stylized Art Nouveau painting inspired by“Jack and the Beanstalk” is finally available as a greeting card in my shop on Goimagine!

I print them in my own studio on my own 8-color printer, then crease, package, and ship them to you directly. There’s no intermediary drop-shipping manufacturer involved. I do it all myself, and create each card as its ordered.

This piece is a richly textured abstracted illustration that I’m really proud of. I did it in Procreate without the assistance of any image generation ridiculousness. The piece took 9 hours to complete with 4714 strokes of my Apple Pencil. The front cover wraps around the spine to the back, and the interior is blank.

Love this Art Nouveau style floral tile from a tenement close in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. It's not a design I've come across before today.
