Just a spook.

A highly stylized, colorful drawing of a woman named Ruby, shown from the chest up, leaning slightly forward with her arms folded. She has pale gray skin, large almond-shaped green eyes, and bright orange-red hair with yellow streaks, styled in thick sections with blunt bangs. A purple flower with a small skull at its center decorates her hair. Her expression is calm and slightly intense, with heavy-lidded eyes and glossy orange lips. She has multiple facial piercings, including a septum ring, nostril ring, and several lip piercings. Ruby’s body is covered in vibrant, full-sleeve tattoos in a patchwork style. Each section features bold, contrasting designs: swirling psychedelic patterns, spiderwebs, a cartoonish skull, a green snake, a stylized anatomical heart with flames, and abstract geometric shapes. Her hands are long and delicate with sharp, pointed nails painted in pale blue. The background is made of layered, rectangular blocks of bright color—turquoise, yellow, red, and green—creating a graphic, poster-like frame around her. The overall color palette is extremely saturated, with high contrast between the pale skin and the neon-like reds, greens, purples, and blues. The style is illustrative and graphic, with thick outlines and detailed, intricate patterns throughout. Created in 2008 using colored pencil on mixed media paper, the piece has a bold, edgy, tattoo-inspired aesthetic with a surreal, slightly gothic tone.
Detailed black-and-white ink illustration with surreal, eerie imagery arranged in sections. In the upper left, two small childlike figures sit together facing away, looking toward a whimsical house with a spiral window. Around them are stylized Christmas trees shaped like frosted confections, their tops dripping like icing, evoking a dark fairytale or Hansel-and-Gretel-like scene. Behind them are clusters of eyes and organic shapes embedded in swirling patterns. A large tree trunk divides the composition vertically. Perched on it is a moth with a skull-like face and outstretched wings. Beneath the moth, a small sign reads “LUST.” In the lower center, a person in a coat and hat stands on a curved hill or road, facing a distant city skyline. Above the city, a mushroom cloud rises, suggesting an explosion. The word “WRATH” is written below this scene. On the right side, a large eye is partially enclosed by a gear shape, with a bright highlight crossing the eye’s surface (which may read as a blade at first glance). Behind this, a wall-like background shows many small silhouetted human figures, as if falling or suspended. On the left side, a skull appears over a textured background that includes faint handwritten text. Below it, a distorted, mask-like face is embedded in twisting, root-like forms. The entire piece is filled with intricate linework, crosshatching, and flowing, woodgrain-like patterns, creating a dark, dreamlike atmosphere with themes of sin, observation, and destruction
