Arm holding an eye in the palm of the hand stretches out of the ground surrounded by poppies and four faces wearing red ribbons over their eyes.

Graphite drawing of nude person holding a piece of fabric above and behind them. The breasts and the pubic hair have been written over with the words "bam" and "pow" for comedic effect. And for censoring. Heavy shading on this drawing with the light source coming from the left and deep shadows emerging from the human form.
New WIP, this time with censors because drawn breasts and pubic hair that aren't sexually explicit and just showing a form should be censored. I posted this on IG with #wreckx-n-effect #RumpShaker as the song. #checksout #art #drawing #graphite #itdoesart #figure #nekkid #raleighnc #raleighartist

Painting drawing of a disassembled mannequin laying in nature. Two trees with purple wisteria are on either side of the mannequin while the head sits atop a tree stump. Poppies grow around and through the mannequin parts.

A disassembled mannequin lays on grass. The head is propped up on a tree stump and there are poppies and grass growing around and through the parts of the mannequin.

Landscape with a dark blue sky and a bright yellow halo in the center featuring a headless, armless naked body seeming to trudge through the dirt and reach toward the sky.

I found the #mermaid I forgot about! And posted her on #eBay She was a lot of fun to #paint especially the tail. I'm planning to make more like her.

I found a tiny #sketch of this in an old #sketchbook, but it had watercolor on it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do that to this bigger version or not. I might just deepen the shadows and leave it all graphite

Putting a white line across the chest (even though the #figure has no nipples) and the hip because the last attempt was flagged for nudity. Maybe I should've added a thong? Idk. Anyway, playing with #pastels and recreating an #acrylic #painting I did a few years ago. #art #itdoesart #jdreag

New #sketch in progress. #wip I suppose. Per usual, I'm wondering if I should add color or not. Just a touch of it, desaturated. #drawing #itdoesart #jdreag #art #raleigh #raleighartist #neck #bloodribbon #portrait #graphite #papermate #sketchbook #eyes #bald #nohalo #color #monochrome

Some drawings are meant to be scrapped. This is one. Eventually it will be removed from the book and I'll cut the head out, paste it on a bigger piece of paper, and draw bunny ears and maybe a snowman body. #fun #ideas #drawing #art #doodle #sketchbook #itdoesart #itdidntdoart #jdreag #dreag

I really want to do something with this sketch, but haven't figured out what yet. It's just been waiting on my sketchbook for several months. #art #sketch #drawing #itdoesart #dreag #jdreag #sketchbook #doodle #raleigharts #raleigh #surrealism #portrait #figure #hand #scrawling #wip #idea

A figure looking at the viewer with a broken head and a tear falling from their eye. Done in pastels and graphite using muted colors.
#WIP I haven't worked on it since July 30th (I think) so I added #pastels throughout the night. Still not done, but close to what's in my head. #art #itdoesart #jdreag #dreag #surreal #dream #landscape #portrait #broken #eyes #drawing #painting #raleigharts #raleigh #graphite #figure #halo

An image of a collection of 14 business cards with J Dreag's surreal paintings and drawings on them.
My new business cards from #Moo arrived! I did 14 different pictures of my work instead of the usual 5 and they turned out really well! I'm thrilled!

Fly standing on a graphite portrait of a shadowy eyed figure with no mouth.
#Doodling at #Blotto in #Raleigh off of New Bern Ave. The doors were open, so my drawing was visited and critiqued by a fly. It did that fly thing where it looks like they're scheming, so I'm not sure what exactly they thought, but I enjoyed the brief company.

Graphite portrait of a person looking over their shoulder at the viewer with the top of their head missing as if broken like stone with a single tear coming out of their eye. They have a halo.
A #wip Graphite on hot press watercolor paper. Not sure if I'll add color or pop my typical kind of landscape as the background, but I'll figure it out hopefully today. It's based on a drawing I found on last year's handy dandy sketchbook!

Trying to decide if: 1) I should make prints of this (I kind of think so) and 2) If I should upgrade my paper (I kind of think so). It's an old drawing/painting (graphite and watercolor) called "Try to Reach". #art #drawing #painting #itdoesart #figure #torso #graphite #watercolor #nude
