Black Ships Ate the Sky
A look into the details of the finished piece, as well as the steps along the way to completion.
The Mighty Bloop
Painted in acrylic on tempered hardboard backed with birch, 12 by 24 inches – added to the airships and tentacles series because I might as well – since the book is not yet compiled and won’t be in time for Holiday selling.
