This is not a portfolio.
It is a transmission.
Through paint, pixels, motion, and code, Shelley Batcules channels memory, quantum entanglement, and generational healing into form. Here, creativity is treated as the original technology — a limitless toolbox for breaking cycles, collapsing time, and remembering what the system tried to make us forget.
This space holds fine art, digital work, animation, video, graphic design, and multimedia — all born from the same pulse: the refusal to stay silent and the courage to create from the frequency of truth.
New paintings, animations, and multimedia pieces connected to SHIMJELLY BEEN are currently in development. These will be revealed gradually following the book launch.

Oil on custom-drilled pegboard — the powerful first piece in the Pegboard Series. Each meticulously drilled hole in the board serves as a haunting metaphor for the bullets and forces that targeted him. This intense, visceral portrait captures the strength, vision, and ultimate sacrifice of President John F. Kennedy — a man marked for death by the very system he sought to challenge.
Oil on custom-drilled pegboard — part of the Pegboard Series. Each hole in the board stands as a stark metaphor for the relentless attacks President Donald J. Trump has endured. From two assassination attempts and multiple impeachments to lawfare, media smears, political persecution, and endless court battles, he has been relentlessly targeted by the establishment. This portrait captures a man who refuses to break — a fighter marked by the system, yet still standing.
Oil on custom-drilled pegboard — part of the Pegboard Series. This haunting portrait of John F. Kennedy Jr. uses each drilled hole as a metaphor for the forces that targeted him. A beloved figure destined for greatness, many believe JFK Jr. was eliminated just as he prepared to challenge Hillary Clinton for a New York Senate seat. His mysterious plane crash in 1999, which also claimed the life of his wife Carolyn, remains one of America’s most tragic and controversial events — a devastating blow that silenced another Kennedy who dared to rise.
Oil on custom-drilled pegboard — part of the Pegboard Series. This portrait captures Elon Musk as a modern-day visionary now firmly in the crosshairs of the establishment. His bold acquisition of Twitter — rebranded as X — became a historic stand for free speech against globalist censorship. By aligning with Donald Trump and taking on the role of Director of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has directly challenged the deep state, placing him directly in the line of fire. The holes in the pegboard serve as a stark reminder that even the man who shoots for the stars is now a target.
Oil on custom-drilled pegboard — part of the Pegboard Series. This elegant yet powerful portrait of Melania Trump stands in stark contrast to the relentless attacks she has endured. One of the most beautiful and dignified First Ladies in American history, she has been viciously targeted by Hollywood elites, the mainstream media, and the political establishment. Denied the traditional spotlight afforded to previous First Ladies, she has been subjected to cruel mockery, baseless smears, and even veiled threats of violence — all for simply standing beside her husband while maintaining grace and independence.
In the Matrix Series, this portrait captures Donald J. Trump as the ultimate outsider trapped inside the system — one man standing against the full machinery of the Deep State. Like Neo awakening to the simulated reality of the Matrix, Trump became a glitch in the system that could not be controlled.
From Russiagate to two impeachments, from endless lawfare to the Ukraine scandal, he was relentlessly targeted by every arm of the political establishment. The grid that surrounds him represents the invisible architecture of power designed to trap and neutralize any threat to the status quo.
Painted in a fractured, grid-like style, this work symbolizes one man’s fierce battle to break free from the political Matrix and expose the illusion of democracy.
This dual portrait captures one of the most intense moments in modern political theater — Hillary Clinton’s marathon testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
On September 11, 2012, Islamic militants attacked the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Information Officer Sean Smith. Hours later, a second assault on a nearby CIA annex claimed the lives of security contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
Trey Gowdy, former federal prosecutor and Chairman of the Select Committee, led a high-stakes congressional investigation into the security failures, the administration’s response, and the events surrounding the attack. In a grueling 11-hour hearing, Clinton faced intense questioning while the world watched. The close-cropped portrait deliberately zeroes in on her face, exposing the tension, calculation, and psychological strain of a powerful figure under fire.
Within the Matrix Series, this work explores the intricate grid of political power, accountability, and consequence — where justice is pursued, yet often dissolves into political theater.
In the Matrix Series, this intense close-cropped portrait zeroes in on the piercing gaze of Julian Assange — the man who dared to pull back the curtain on the political establishment.
As founder of WikiLeaks, Assange became one of the most hunted individuals on earth after his organization published the 2016 DNC emails. The leaks exposed how the Democratic National Committee had rigged the primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton and actively worked to undermine Bernie Sanders. Enraged by the revelations, Clinton reportedly asked whether Assange could simply be eliminated with a drone strike.
Fearing extradition to the United States, Assange spent seven years in political asylum inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London — a self-imposed prison where he lived in a single room, cut off from the outside world. The dripping hourglass of the WikiLeaks logo, woven into the fractured background, symbolizes the relentless flow of suppressed information that the powerful desperately tried to contain.
This work captures the psychology of a man who exposed the Matrix — and paid for it with his freedom.
In the Matrix Series, George Soros stands not as a prisoner of the system — but as one of its primary architects.
A billionaire financier and one of the Democratic Party’s largest and most influential donors, Soros has spent decades weaponizing his vast wealth to shape global politics. Through a sprawling network of NGOs and activist organizations, he has funded movements that sow division and chaos — from Black Lives Matter to the violent 2020 riots that engulfed Portland and other American cities.
His Open Society Foundations have been repeatedly accused of destabilizing nations and interfering in sovereign elections. To many, he represents the unseen hand that pulls the strings of the political Matrix — a puppet master who operates in the shadows while funding the very unrest that weakens nations from within.
This close-cropped, psychologically charged portrait uses a clashing red-and-green palette and raw, aggressive brushwork to create an unsettling, almost demonic presence. The heavy bags under his eyes and the sinister downward turn of his mouth reveal the toll — and the intent — behind decades of calculated influence.
In the Matrix Series, Edward Snowden appears as a ghost dissolving into the grid — a man who exposed the machine and then had to disappear inside it.
A former NSA contractor, Snowden became one of the most consequential whistleblowers in modern history when he revealed that the U.S. intelligence apparatus was conducting mass surveillance on its own citizens, secretly collecting phone records, internet data, and communications on a global scale. His disclosures shattered the illusion of privacy and showed how deeply the Matrix had embedded itself into everyday life.
Forced to flee the United States, Snowden eventually received asylum in Russia, where he remains in exile. This stark black-and-white portrait deliberately focuses on his unmistakable glasses and watchful eyes, the only visible trace of a man who sacrificed everything to expose the truth. The dark grid that surrounds him symbolizes both the surveillance state he revealed and the system he was forced to hide within.
Painted in high-contrast monochrome, the work reflects the black-and-white moral reality Snowden confronted — while the powers he exposed continued to operate in shades of deceit.
