Weird Art (for Weird People)

Weird art is where imagination runs wild, and rules politely excuse themselves. This community celebrates the bold, the bizarre, the tender, the delightfully unhinged.

If it’s strange, soulful, handmade, and human, it belongs here. All weird art is welcome… as long as it’s not AI-generated.

Thanks for the love! I use mechanical pencils, with leads HB to 8B. The stippling look actually comes from the paper which has a bit of tooth to it, giving it a rough feeling. For pencils I use Pentel Orenz and Staedtler.

Oh that's just 8B and not pen? Nice. The lack of shine fooled me; either that's a good photo or I need to try some branded 8B. Thanks for the recommendations!
