🎨 Hey there, welcome to my weird little corner of the internet!
I’m Luke. I paint creatures. Sometimes they stare back.
If you like reptiles, floofy things, big eyes, or brushstrokes that kinda look like they’re vibing—you're in the right place. I'm a self-taught artist with a soft spot for the scaly, the furry, and the fantastically expressive. My work lives somewhere between field guide illustrations and daydreams with a paintbrush.
Poke around. Get cozy. Bring home something wild.
"Dream Cat" This stylized feline exudes motion and mischief through swirling strokes and exaggerated features. A celebration of gesture and personality, the piece sits at the crossroads of realism and imagination.
"Spiral Garden" An exploration of flow and intuition, this abstract piece plays with overlapping washes, transparency, and motion. It evokes shifting skies or emotional waves—open to interpretation and mood.
"Midnight Mycelium" A surreal yet delicate vision of fungi, this pastel work combines organic growth with unexpected color. The mushrooms appear as if glowing from within, evoking fantasy landscapes and fairy tale forests.
"Ocean Drifter" This gentle giant floats effortlessly in a swirl of ocean tones. The piece uses dynamic brushwork to mirror the turtle’s slow, purposeful momentum—a meditation on longevity and tranquility.
"Striped Tank" A bold close-up of one of nature’s most massive beetles, this piece combines scientific precision with dramatic flair. The beetle’s armored form gleams with metallic undertones, honoring its awe-inspiring design.
"Branch Guardian" A study in patience and texture, this iguana lounges against rich bark, its scaled body rendered with deliberate, dimensional strokes. The piece explores the relationship between camouflage and presence in nature.
"Whim Spiral" A serene dance of color and movement, this composition captures koi gliding through still waters. The soft transitions and layered washes reflect peace, grace, and the symbolism of transformation.
