Artist: Melissa Le Gall
Other Links: Artist Website
Backstory:
This piece is part of a series called “Fangs and fur” in which I wanted to depict predators showing their teeth, symbol of their wild nature and more specifically, their ability to hunt and kill. I’ve always had this odd fascination with drawing fangs (and the iconography that came with it) ever since I was little and it felt right to place it at the core of a drawing series.

As the temperature drops & the oaks fill up with huge acorns, I have noticed more chattering above me on my walks!
They always make me smile even when they are angry! It’s such a funny squeaky toy like noise!!
Tried a larger scale which A4 to stretch myself a bit more.
Loved the autumnal colours that developed while layering too.

Title: The Traveling Merchant
Artist: John Ramsey
Backstory:
The traveling merchant! He looks like he should have a name.

If this were a game world, I imagine that he would be the merchant you encounter inside a dungeon, probably right next to a save point. I don’t really play video games anymore but JRPG logic still informs a lot of my narrative concepts.

The things I cannot find to save your life?

Title: Monkey business 🙉
Artist: Daniela Tsvetkova
Backstory:
I feel exactly like this chimp every time I wake up, no matter how many times per night 🤪
I’m late with a couple of weeks for the World’s chimpanzee day, but there’s another one coming soon – September 1st is the International primate day, so I wanted to mark it somehow 🌞 Chimps are our closest living relatives, sharing 98.7% of our genetic blueprint, but unfortunately by clearing away the ape’s forest habitat we have put them onto the list with endangered species 🙄
We need to stop behaving as if we’re the only living beings on this planet 🤨
