About

Observations
The style is a densely packed, painterly character tableau built from expressive grotesque faces, exaggerated anatomy, heavy ink contours, and visible directional brushwork. Saturated reds, ochres, greens, and blacks create strong contrast, while ornamental costume details, bones, ravens, papers, and smoking figures give the imagery a fantastical, macabre storybook quality.
