Hello,
My name is Sillas(sill-iss), but I go by Sill.
I’m a New Hampshire Artist and Graphic Designer. I love human expression and the unintentional history we show through art and writing.
Passion Leads to Art
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”

This was made in Clip Studio Paint.
This piece is of my own character and a friend of mine’s character. I enjoyed drawing the metal aspects and hair the most.
This photo was taken by me in 2024 and edited in photoshop.
This photograph was made by arranging an assortment of fresh flowers.
This level of detail was possible by using a flatbed scanner. The arrangement was done by hand and the flowers were pressed against the screen and then scanned. That scan was then moved into photoshop where the dust particles were removed.
This was an acrylic piece.
I actually enjoy prefer oil painting, but I’m proficient in both. I love painting and it brings me a lot of joy.
All of my paintings begin with adding gesso to my canvas and sanding it down until it’s smooth. I then do a wash of watered down paint to lock my sketch in place and let it dry. After that, I do my underpainting to finalize where I want my contrast. Finally, the actual painting can begin. On average, a full painting, not including prep time which is about 3-4 hours, is about 10 hours give or take a few.
