Vampire Angels in Ink in an Imaginary World
2019-02-18
Vampire Angels in Ink is part of an old illustration series of mine, a strange universe that only exists in my imagination. In it, vampire creatures with angelic wings feed on other people’s lives, hidden somewhere between the real and the fantastic.
Each woman in the series has that piercing, seductive look straight out of film noir vamps. Blood-red tattoos mark their skin, almost like a seal proving they all belong to the same universe.
These drawings come from one of my old sketchbooks, made with markers and ink pens. I always drew them quickly, in between the daily rush of São Paulo. There, dreaming up this fantastic reality became almost the only way to escape the everyday chaos, if only for a while.
