The behind the scenes process of doing my #Frankenstein makeup. #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi

Saw Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein last night and loved the makeup so much that I wanted to recreate it. #frankenstein #makeup #cosplay #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi

MOVING OUT ART SALE! (Part 2/2: OVER $500 COLLECTION) ❤️❤️ I’m selling my original paintings to clean out my library. As many of you know, I’ve had a studio at @artcentergvl for 5 years now. I will be moving out at the end of 2025. I’m on the hunt for a new studio (hopefully in the Greer area since that’s where I live), so be on the lookout for my location change! If you’re interested in any original paintings, please stop by during Open Studios this weekend or contact me through a DM or an email 😌 as always, I have many prints available on my website at savvyralph.com! ❤️ #art #gvlartist #openstudios #gvlarts #artcentergvl #artsale #artist #painting #surrealism #illustration #figurative #expressive #originalartwork

“Where Ruin Turns to Bloom” — finally finished this watercolor/colored pencil piece the other night. This piece is one of the rare instances where I actually wrote the poem first and then created the painting 😌 this poem and painting uses the idea of an inner garden to represent self love and interpersonal relationships. Sometimes, we find someone who can tend to our gardens, and sometimes we encounter the people who trample over them. It’s representative of general growth and healing as well as my own life experience 🌸 #art #savvyart #watercolor #painting #coloredpencil #gvlarts #gvlartists #artcentergvl

#inktober day 31: award. FINALLY it is complete! This year’s Inktober was a practice in finding the time to do a sketch every single day and not caring how they look 😆 definitely a good lesson in overcoming perfectionism. I think I’ll always do my Inktobers in pen now. Happy Halloween! #inktoberday31 #art #savvyart #drawing

#inktober day 30: vacant. If I wasn’t supposed to draw cats for every prompt, why is everything so relatable to cats? 🐈&zwj;⬛ #art #inktoberday30 #drawing #blep #vacant #savvyart

#inktober day 29: lesson. I haven’t had much time to draw the last few Inktobers but as long as I just keep pushing them out, that’s all that matters to me 😆 #art #savvyart #inktoberday29 #drawing

#inktober day 29: skeletal. Almost missed today’s Inktober! My power went out all night so it disrupted my routine. Thankfully my power is back on and I still had some time left of today (kinda) 😝 #art #savvyart #pendrawing #drawing @inktober #inktoberday29
