Seraph Serpent Birkat Habayit, 2024

a (non-)traditional blessing for the home, commissioned earlier this year as a wedding gift for a wonderful couple who share my alternative/dark-fantasy Jewish aesthetic! having just finished Esther Hamori’s book God’s Monsters, i was already thinking about the nachash seraphim & was excited to integrate one as a guardian here. the original piece was sketched in Procreate and then finished traditionally, but the photo i took of it before sending it off wasn’t the right quality for prints, so this is actually a digital re-inking of the same piece.

it’s not my usual practice to make prints of commissioned work, but the family not only graciously gave permission but in fact suggested it to me in this case! so i’ll have some of these with me at my local Hanukkah market this December & will be stocking them in my shop next year.
