Hair, clothing, even facial features are not bound by physics or expectations. It means I can cheat a little when I draw but it also demands outside-the-box thinking… If I add an accoutrement that looks great it must also have weight and needs to fit into the character believably. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1565803927423-U8WGSR0K70OWJVP5U9HU/belladonna2.jpg Pencils - Belladonna I’m inspired by the wide open nature of the fantasy genre.

The men sent to reduce us to ashes fled as a ghastly green pooled out of the great stone on her staff and slithered toward them. A lilting and mournful sound came from the stone, as though the dead were singing. We were glad to be rid of our captors, yet newly uncertain about the hooded lady. Clearly she concealed these abilities from us… Let us hope she does not need to use them again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1566607932894-ICXII8BAFRV1DT3PG9TV/gladys1.jpg Pencils - Gladys This is one of my favorites born of a Halloween art challenge.

Everyone is after the lady gnawing on the alien delicacy. I enjoyed playing with the light so that our main character stood out… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1566685980729-DKUON5JU44127I2IP13R/achanceencounter1.jpg Pencils - A Chance Encounter Sometimes you just can’t get through a dungeon without trouble.

I created this for a social media account, quite belated. I fell in love with the dwarf’s face an the elf’s hair, and the blasé face on the looker-on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1651801242355-UFUAYGOXYIFRRZO0EZVR/image-asset.jpg Pencils - Black Lantern Fan Art Chris Bodily created what has to be the coolest comic on the planet, merely by merging all things spooky into the perfect package… It just took me a year to doodle something! https://www.alchemyillustration.com/chalk-ink daily 0.75 2022-03-15 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/t/622ffaf159c172714df914d7/1565971449195/ Chalk Ink https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/5d56d3da20cb770001a0aed1/5d56d3f9f08c320001a9fc94/1565971449195/ Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1567278048603-DVCWWEPTGVJVR9YHJ0QU/halloflower1.jpg Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1569098044646-HCUWGKPE1RNADZMTV1C3/mummysale.jpg Chalk Ink - A Chalk Ink Mummy BOGO sign detail Halloween was (as you’ve noticed maybe) a great holiday for me. It was so easy to find a way to tweak an otherwise hum-drum sign and make it intriguing… in this case, a bit spooky. But I bet the customer was thinking a bit more about snickerdoodles! Consider contacting me if you want the same for your product… :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1569379580111-E0TU1GRKLNWCUTU66SYN/cincodemayo1.jpg Chalk Ink - Cinco De Mayo the First Chalk Ink Sign I have another of these. This actually didn’t come first but I like it most. I wanted the traditional señorita, but I ended up punching up the fonts with some interior filigree and making the avocado radioactive. But it kind of sells avocados, right? And to a much lesser extent, tortilla chips… #embellishment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1569419618359-6LH2QJEZR84QADHSX1WO/endaisle.jpg Chalk Ink - Vertical End Aisle Grocery Chalk Ink Sign These were attached via velcro to the ends of the aisles so as to make them more versatile. I tend to enjoy high contrast and vivid colors to draw the eye, as well as much photo reference as I can come up with… I came up with most of the taglines, too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1569000223713-XH1UCVU2DPHKRAZA99J9/halloflower1.jpg Chalk Ink - A Flowery Halloween Chalk Ink sign detail Part of my routine as a chalk artist was to create/update the sign on a flower display. I enjoyed this segment because of the perplexed expression on the witch’s face (based on the creature’s behavior to the left), while casually summoning a demon with a flower in hand. As has been the case with most of my signage, I love a good theme, and Halloween especially. (Bonus points if you noticed the smitten Frankenstein’s monster in the background). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1647311439666-O8DZLRFUNWOZ3IVOWFFE/websize_TaylorHellewell__574.JPG Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1647311441467-P66209VTAMB9XVW980OW/websize_TaylorHellewell_459b.JPG Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1647311445454-UNB4JCNCPZ14TWIJ5UOO/websize_TaylorHellewell_479.JPG Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1647311446104-CPH3OF92A4H20MVBR2XO/websize_TaylorHellewell_555.JPG Chalk Ink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1647311448251-ZMC0ZXSE97FIKMASUYNV/websize_TaylorHellewell_598.JPG Chalk Ink https://www.alchemyillustration.com/about daily 0.75 2024-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9fe5efb7c92c71b4aa6474/1567021124034-2MRG7SAR0MPK90P7754Y/belladonna2.jpg About - for a little bit of magic… The Artwork of Taylor Hellewell https://www.alchemyillustration.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://www.alchemyillustration.com/store daily 0.75 2023-09-28
