Love this interpretation of Persephone and Hades by @arayaart.bsky.social - this digital painting was commissioned for the band "NyKtiforom" for one of their album covers! #beautifulbizarre #samarayaart #samaraya #NyKtiforom #albumart #persephone #hades #mythology #digitalpainting #art

Sympathetic Magick - Digital. For the illustrated german edition of Cunning folk, by Adam Nevill. I was working on the hand that was ripping through the plush penguin insides and suddenly I turned off the layer, temporarily erasing all the work. I thought it looked more disturbing that way.

Covers for "Crypt of the Moon Spider" and "Cathedral of the Drowned" for Nathan Ballingrud. I thought of an old game I never played "Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams" a bit when I was working on these, somebody please do another Victorian Sci-Fi Rpg. Also, read Nathan Ballingrud's books.

Exploratory sketches / Underpaintings made in ink and the final cover digitally composed for "ALL THE STARS DIE" @jfdt.bsky.social , forthcoming via @badhandbooks.bsky.social I'm focusing on my digital work having an analogue basis, because it adds to the mess. I'm a messy painter.

Tonight @livelaughloathe.bsky.social surprised me this print of Persephone and Hades. I’m utterly smitten. It’s dark, mysterious, and breathtaking—just like love and art should be. Huge thanks to @arayaart.bsky.social for creating such a stunning piece!

Its #portfolioday ! I love doing covers for horror / weird fiction books. My favorite part is getting a free book with my cover and also getting $$$.
