Karyna Santana, aka Emma X, is a bright and creative Orlando musician and artist who has always inspired and lifted the spirits of those around her with her strength and humor. On Sunday, February 3rd, she was critically injured in a collision with a Jeep while riding her bicycle. Though extremely lucky to be alive, she now faces a long and painful recovery.
Beast Fest is a 24 hour festival born of the Orlando and Winter Park creative community coming together to return the favor and help ease Karyna’s long path to recovery.
Please donate whatever you can to the Karyna Santana Fund!

Only two shots to go…

Everything was outlined with a Sharpie pen, characters were colored with watercolors and the upper environment was colored digitally. The idea behind the mix is one of contrasts: texture/smoothness, vivid reds/quiet blues, busy environment/open environment.
Some characters have names, like the “Fashionista Goats” and the “Giant Monster Who Totally Didn’t Mean To Step On Your Car And Is Very Sorry”.
