Inspired by the historic mines @ Cerrillos Hills State Park. Got this idea on my hike & couldn’t wait to go home to create it. The cactus on the edge of the mine gives me memento mori vibes 💀🌵

I’m trying to create visual & conceptual depth on paper w/o overcomplicating it. Since I’ve been drawing every day, my skills have improved a lot & it’s rly exciting to have an image like this pop into my head & be capable of bringing it to life.

Illustration of a mine, surrounded by calico rocks, with dead logs thrown over it, broken fencing poking from the sides, and a prickly pear cactus growing from the edge. There’s a grey swirl in the mine, like you’re staring into a void. It’s captioned “many paths, one destination” & decorated with a scrap of the map from the park where I found the mine.

A picture of another one of the mines @ Cerrillos Hills State Park. This one has several logs framing it - I combined the logs from this mine w/ the cactus from the other mine to make my drawing
