Digital painting showing a rose melted into a burger. That’s why it’s called Burger Rose. Just a rose hanging out, a burger within its being. Contemplating life. McDonald’s. Food.

Digital painting using a collage of pictures for reference. Afghanistan, a nude woman on the phone, cityscapes, poppy fields, a picture of an aircraft. What does it all mean? Only the artist knows.

Digital painting of a bunch of dummies in a test setting inside an aircraft. A public domain image was used for reference. No clue where I got it from. Maybe if you reverse-image-search it, you’ll find the original.

Digital painting based on a photograph of an M4 tank getting knocked down somewhere in Guam.

Digital painting based on the photograph of Haile Selassie in Dambacha Fort, 1941. I continue the same technique first used with ‘Mamoru Shigemitsu’: Using a public domain image for reference, I zoom in as far as possible and trace the abstract shapes. It’s basically glorified drawing by numbers.

Digital painting based on the photograph of Mamoru Shigemitsu signing the Instrument of Surrender, officially ending World War II. I started with digital art because I was looking for a replacement to my Crack/MMO-addiction. First time using ‘Rowini30’ as an alias.

The final comic in the Bongoville universe. Changed the title to “Kautsky”, the name of the main character. Figured it’s better for marketing. Turned out to make no difference. Story is a riff on US politics during the Trump era.

I wrote this after Bongoville III, it’s a smallish crime story about a mysterious party. Cute, nothing dramatic. Art unchanged. Introduction of a new character, Harelock Holmes.
