Not What You Think

from $46.00

Ink and Mixed Media

This is only sold as a print (unframed) and is signed and dated by the artist.

This intimate portrait of a small, fuzzy spider blends precise naturalistic detail with surprising warmth and personality. At first glance, the creature’s clustered black eyes, thick tufts of hair, and angled stance evoke the instinctive unease most people feel toward spiders. But the longer you linger, the more its gentle presence begins to emerge: soft textures, playful highlights of yellow and orange, and an almost shy posture reveal a creature far more endearing than threatening.

Not What You Think invites the viewer to challenge assumptions and look deeper. Beauty and wonder frequently hide in the places we’re conditioned to avoid. Through a careful interplay of ink lines, colored pencil accents, and atmospheric tones, this mixed-media work transforms a typically feared subject into something unexpectedly tender.

Styles: Whimsical Realism, Illustrative Naturalism, Contemporary Ink Drawing
