Oracle

Original Art by Christine Griffin

I envisioned an androgynous avatar for an oracle, a poppy, curious being looking at us as much as we’re looking at them. Eyes reflecting all the things, but it’s up to us to place the colors…

(In an attempt to work less nitpicky, I used cold-press watercolor paper to force a toothy surface and lean into the sfumato of graphite and a little bit of charcoal, both black and white. The eye sockets are full of iridescent rhinestones and the fun, rickrack frame is black matte plastic, with glass glazing.)

The drawing is 4.5″ x 6.5″, framed to 9″ x 11″.

About the Artist

Christine Griffin

Christine is a fine artist and illustrator who enjoys creating quietly weird images, flavored by mystery, goth-folk and mid-western myth. Raised in West Virginia and currently living in central Ohio, she gravitates toward genre subjects—modern fantasy, speculative fiction and light horror—especially those familiar monsters that live under, and sometimes in, our own beds. Although having earned a master's degree in painting from George Washington University in our Nation's capital, Christine is currently exploring all the ways to manipulate graphite and dry media over thin washes of iridescent watercolor. Gotta get those fingers dirty. The interplay between humanity, nature and power is a beloved motif, and she never tires of drawing clouds or strange eyes. She shows in galleries throughout the mid-west and on-line, and as an illustrator, also works digitally on book covers and interior graphics. Her life is shared with one husband, three sons, and a punk-ass cat.
