Hello

I’m Ariel, but You know me as Arvel.

37, Polish, currently living in the Netherlands, self-taught, and quietly addicted to black ink.

I’ve been drawing my whole life—sometimes for months without pause, sometimes vanishing for years when life demanded it. Exactly one month ago I bought my first pack of Micron pens on a whim. I haven’t stopped since. Every line you see is drawn entirely by hand, no tricks, no undo button.

In these four weeks a world spilled out: dark, breathing forests that watch you back, insects that feel like forgotten gods, mythical creatures made of roots, mushrooms, and starlight. I’m drawn to the thin place where beauty becomes unsettling—where nature turns surreal and transformation feels both sacred and a little haunted.

This website is the very first time I’m sharing these Micron pieces with anyone. In the shop you’ll find fine art prints and stickers of most of them, produced in small batches so they still feel special.

The ink journey is brand new, and I have no idea where it’s going next, but I’m genuinely happy you’re here to see it unfold.

Thanks for stepping into my strange little forest.

— Arvel
