Desert Shadows 36x24 Limited Signed Metallic Print

A.P.s and early edition numbers going to the first takers.
This is the fifth painting in the strange-fiction steampunk art series “Airships and Tentacles” wherein the works of, concepts of, and influences from Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft intermingle.
This one leans a lot more towards my old surreal style, with some elements of older paintings hidden within the sands, such as a sand-storm buried nautilus, and strange shells woven into the stone. The somewhat serene piece is offset and accented by a very active lightning field in the distant background – cages on chains float like balloons on the horizon, a strange sphynx guards the pass, and shadows become starry skies. There are many more hidden details within this piece, and I only outlined the more obvious ones – as with all my paintings, this is an image you can revisit many times of many days to find new and equally strange things within.
These 50 metallic prints are printed in Epson Ultra Chrome k3 archival inks on high-quality heavyweight metallic stock, coated with a UV/scratch/moisture resistant protective layer, with an archival-rating at about 200+ years. They are hand-signed, and gallery-wrapped. They are documented with a signed and hologrammed and serialized certificates of authenticity from Hahnemuhle, with a matching hologram affixed to the work.
The printed area on this metallic print is 32×21 inches, made to match the size constraints of the 36×24 inch “the Rescue” Metallic prints and the 36×24 “the Machine” Metallic Prints. The limited run of metallics for “the Rescue” sold out in a week, which saddened me a bit because I didn’t even get to keep one for myself and because  felt a bit bad for the people who wanted them but couldn’t get them. So, instead of a limited run of 20 + II, I am doing a Limited run of 50 for these.
