\"weirdling<\/a><\/p>\n

This drawing was inspired by a girl I once knew. She was for all outward appearances a free loving and joyful flower child who worked at spreading the idea of peace, harmony, and a love of nature. Her flip-side was that her very harsh and messed up childhood left her with a deep depression she tried to keep hidden from all except a very few. As she brought tidings of love to the world she was full of pain inside and peace was never her true mental state.<\/p>\n

The original drawing was part of my second Zombie Dolls flash series and done with colored pencils and ink. For this version I have used a tad of pastels and some blenders before digitally messing with it.<\/p>\n

I have made this available as prints and on shirts via Society6<\/a>
\nand also in a new section I have added on Imagekind<\/a> I am calling THE MIX<\/a>.
\nAll works in THE MIX<\/a> gallery are a combination of traditional and digital art techniques. Pencils, pens, paint, ink, graphite, oil pastels, etc… and then digital manipulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
