Here’s a AI generated landscape scene I generated recently for my Mean Winnie Jean Instagram account. Since the whole theme is anything horror, and I need images that promote my Angels Dark and Dumb series, this is supposed to represent Heaven & Hell. Such a fun exercise because this has me so motivated to copy it in a painting. Poor AI gets a bad wrap in art, but during this session I realized that what I generate can really inspire me in my old school art. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
This is one of my most recent Hilma af Klint inspired paintings. I love the color choice in this one. I keep saying I’m going to quit doing these, but I keep on painting ’em. This one was challenging with the circles. Took me forever to figure out what to do because it looked really empty without the light blue background and the pink circles. Anyway, I like the way it turned out.

I did this in less than 10 minutes in an art history class. The teacher threw a bunch of junk on the table and told us to make a collage. I still love it every time I look at it. Sometimes artwork just happens.
As far as I’m concerned, Halloween season begins September 1st, but I’m off to a bit of a slow start. Here’s my first Halloween monster of the season, featuring candy corn, a treat so many people despise. Except me! I love it! Anyway, why not turn it into a monster?
Last year’s monsters were my Women of Horror Series, none of which I’ve posted here. They are on my alter ego sight at winniejeanhoward.com under Artwork > Ladies of Horror if you’d like to view them. This year I’ll be doing kid friendly monsters that I’ll post here as I complete them. Enjoy!
WOW! Everything is ready to publish the book mid month. For once I’m early finishing a project. Here’s the cover. I decided to go with a purple background because a lot of the Halloween books on Amazon had either a dark blue or purple background. Tomorrow I’ll get the book up for pre-sale.
Here’s the final illustration for The Pumpkin and the Mouse Jinn. YAY! Turned out SO CUTE! All the illustrations are done. And the book is almost edited. I’ve decided to do a final edit to make it appropriate for young readers, and I plan to do it with ChatGPT. On to the book cover.
Another old school project. One looks like lips to me, and a 5. The bottom right reminds me of Batman.
Guess where the pumpkin lands on his final wish. Poor pumpkin. Here’s one of the final illustrations for The Pumpkin and the Mouse Jinn. Only one more illustration to go for the final page. It’s the one I’ve been most excited to create with the mouse and a pumpkin pie. Yes you’ll get to see it soon! You’ll also see the book cover soon!
This is actually a self portrait. It shows how fluid I am. If you look at the careers I’ve had and the the things I’ve done, it makes complete and total sense.
