The Sleeper in the Sphere

This is a study, if that is the correct term--prototype might be better. It's based on a painting I did a few years ago, and would become a large-scale augmented reality piece, should it come into being. This is at an early stage, so may change significantly before it's done. As usual, the sculptural parts are done in Blender, & it is assembled in Unity.

Colossus

Another Blender 3D sculpture, edited and textured in Photoshop. Could be a study for another augmented reality piece.

New World City

This is a new drawing/study for a potential forthcoming AR (augmented reality) project. I have several of those in production, and they will be featured on this blog when they are ready, hopefully soon. More anon.

The Apocalypse (study)

Another new oil painting on panel...I was intending this one to be more of an actual recognizable landscape, somewhat in the manner of John Martin's "The Great Day of His Wrath", but it came out as a more amorphous and abstract piece, which I'd like to keep as is & work further on another panel, which I hope to do shortly.

In the Land of the Fisher King (study)

Here is a new small painting, a study for a theme I've used before (but only in drawings), the Arthurian legend of the Fisher King, the injured king in the land of the Holy Grail. I'm intending to do a larger, more detailed painting of this sometime soon, perhaps.

Study of a Woman's Head from 2006

I was going through piles of drawings in my studio again, looking for a particular piece (not this one) to photograph, and of course I found several interesting half-forgotten works. So I photographed a few. This is a pretty good study of a woman's head from 4 years ago that I don't think I shot at the time.
