Villain Babies & Purple Paradise!

 Unusual combo of paintings recently but weird is my jam!  

The Halloween buzz usually starts in August at my house, so this was a bit early…

 

 “Midnight Menace”

 

Acrylic on Canvas

5x7

 

Continuing with the idea of making villains, monsters, bad guys, etc. into cute versions of themselves. This was my first time painting Venom.

 

“Big Feelings”

Acrylic on Canvas 

5x7

 

Each dreamscape painting is an experience, a chance to escape into imagination and bring something back…

 

“Far & Away”

Acrylic on Canvas

18x24

 

Each of these original paintings is currently available on Facebook Marketplace.

 

 

*EXHIBITS & RETAILERS*

All of these and many more will be with me This Sunday At the Nanton Chilli Cook off -

Mini Marauders & Axolotl!

Great shows sofar this spring and lots of ideas and suggestions from festival-goers. I sketched out a bunch of said inspirations and have been busy painting ever since. 

 

 “Crux”

 

Acrylic on Canvas

5x7

 

Something inside me is compelled to take creepy, scary, unpleasant things and make them cute. Like the bloodthirsty, deranged and murderous Ghostface.

 

“Boo”

 

Acrylic on Canvas

5x7

 

Say it once, say it twice, third time’s the charm!

 

“Ghost With the Most”

 

Acrylic on Canvas

5x7

 

And how could I not have an axolotl?!? Shame on me… but it’s fixed now!

 

“Ax”

Skellies, Skeeter & Spring Shows!

 I finally got to get the hell off this planet! Then I jumped out of a perfectly good plane! Still, not the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.  

 

Quite the experience! Sure puts things in perspective and makes you realize that almost all fears are irrational and self-created. *mental note* I do love me some deep, philosophical thoughts. When I grow up, I want to be a skydiving instructor! In the meantime, I’ll keep arting.

 

Not sure why skeletons emerging right now, but where inspiration leads, I follow.

 

Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds…

Will it blossom with flowers or wither in weeds?

 

 “Nascent”

Acrylic on Canvas

8x10

 

Original Painting

 

Life can be prickly. Find joy anyway.

 

“Indomitable”

Acrylic on Canvas

8x10

 

The original painting has sold but prints are up for grabs!

 

Even blood sucking fiends need love.

 

“Hemophob”

Happy 2026! New Art & Monthly spotlight!

We had a great holiday break here at chateau VonRaven, lots of family time and lazy days! Tobogganing, games, messes, chaos, wine, chocolate, impossible puzzles… but after a while I do miss the structure of regular days. Happy to start 2026 feeling refreshed and inspired! 

I’ve decided to do a Spotlight series throughout the year. Each month I’ll feature 3 prints from my collection of nearly 1000. Special sale price & bundle deal! My clan watched Ghostbusters and Neverending Story over the holidays so I’ve included some of that fan art. It all ties in to Stranger Things because that too was a holiday highlight 👍

 

 

Message me to get yours!

 

Kicked off the new year with some fan art based on our holiday binge watch. Munsen and his iconic shirt quickly became a favorite… My kid has been blasting Master of Puppets ever since!

 

“Hellfire Club”

Acrylic on Canvas

8x10

 

The original painting was quickly snatched up but prints are available!

And ofcourse the star of the show, a Demogorgon… but CUTE!

Bad Santa & Merry Christmas!

 2025 is almost a wrap! That means paperwork, deep cleaning the studio updating and trashing computer files, designing marketing and promotional materials for next year, tinkering with new image formats/products and getting ready to start FRESH! 

I did have time to squeeze in a final holiday painting, if you were at the Nanton Christmas Market, you may have seen me working on him.

 

A little something for the naughty listers…
