I'm Aric (Legal name Arianna Gilbert), though you may know me under my online handle of 'toothbytes'. I'm a student artist situated in London looking to make what little of a name for myself I can. I dedicate the majority of my time to the arts, with it being my main passtime, and I'd like to think a lot of that time is dedicated to learning and improving on a wide range of art mediums, from traditional to digital art - the current hurdle I'm trying to tackle being animation.
Since I was quite young I've always had a fascination with the macabre - rather than being away with the faeries, i was away with the dragons, and my illustrative works tend to depict people and monsters of my own design from gritty fantasy worlds, while my paintings bridge into depictions of gore, often relating to the struggles I've faced throughout life in terms of my gender, sexuality and mental health. As I develop my range of skills this site will function as an organised portfolio of all my best works - as of current I am actively taking illustration commissions, so some of the artwork on this site is posted here with the clients permission. I'm always open to conversation or questions, so feel free to contact me at the email [email protected] . |
