A bit of a vulnerable topic for me. Mental health and the loss of Chester. Since I was 10, this band was my shelter. The news of him passing had me on my knees. I screamed. I cried. I cursed. I wish I was a bit more savvy drawing men, but tonight I played through Hybrid Theory and Reanimation as I sketched. My eyes are crying and my heart is still broken, but full. • • • • #linkinpark #linkinparkfan #memorial #angel #LP #chester #chesterbennington #rememberchester #sketch #art #sad #heartbroken #artist #artistoninstagram #restinpeace #RIP #neverforgotten #hybridtheory #reanimation #sketchbook #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B4WonIcj9Wp/?igshid=118gs39rl03qq

Close up of this work in progress! I'm working back and forth with black colored pencil and watercolor. The colored pencil just *POPS* versus just using black watercolor. • • • • #art_dailydose #art_viral #art_we_inspire #artcollective #artdiscover #artfollow #artistoftheday #artinprogress #artwork #artsviral #artsy #instaart #dailyarts #artlovers #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #horror #brideoffrankenstein #classicmonsters #classichorror #halloween #creepy #darkartistries #frankenstein #inktober2019 #makersgonnamake #courtneymarieart https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QyfP7j3V2/?igshid=steofv1h8qlb

A little peek into just one small space of my studio/work station. Not photographed is my iMac, messy paint supply cart, my cutting table, printer, and a bunch of other junk mixed with goodies. My gaming computer is also my Twitch powerhouse for art and video game streams. Which will return with a limited schedule. There is also the original opening to a massive cooking fireplace right next to my desk. Hopefully since things keep getting organized I'll be able to share. A work in progress! My studio was built in 1888, quite spooky! 🖤🦉 • • • • • #art #artist #artistoninstagram #artlife #artwork #artoftheday #artcollective #arts_gallery #instaart #instaartist #supportthearts #artistmafia #visualart #illustration #illustrator #freelanceartist #sketch #painting #originalart #painter #workingartist #artlife #creative #studiosetup #studio #artstudio #courtneymarieart https://www.instagram.com/p/B3xWf1bjxPy/?igshid=g6sennk77lz5

I still have some details to add, the background is saturated with an off white wash that will need a few hours to dry. • • • • • #art #artist #artistoninstagram #artlife #artwork #artoftheday #artcollective #arts_gallery #instaart #instaartist #supportthearts #artistmafia #visualart #illustration #illustrator #freelanceartist #candy #bugs #sweettooth #makersgonnamake #artoftheday #sketch #painting #originalart #sketch #sketchbook #workingartist #artlife #creative #originalartwork #arteveryday #art_spotlight #courtneymarieart https://www.instagram.com/p/B3D6sNsDRvT/?igshid=fo5kk14oy8i
