Gothic

Available for a week at the reduced price introductory of $25 (reg $35).

The second panel, special-made for the inside of a special box/portable frame assemblage art piece I am making.

It was requested that I make prints of this piece – so, I am making 20 of each on fine art rag paper, signed, numbered, and dated tiny in the margin.

They are printed on a fine cotton rag paper, in archival pigment inks for an archival rating of 200+ years.

The print is 8.5×11 inches including the 1 inch border. Printed area is 6.5 inches by 9.

The Assemblage this comes from is a sort of dark carnival and Miskatonic feeling piece, made to feel much like all the occult ephemera of the late 1800s/early 1900s, a time when mysticism was for city-dwellers was becoming quite the fashion – though I often pull from real references when making these sorts of pieces, I do not imply that they have any actual magickal properties or serious reference value. They are more “camp” for fans of the ooky-spooky.

This artwork is three in one.

The box/dual frame: I labored hard for well-over a week on the box, which is a very sturdy hand-built, hand-stained, hand-varnished, hand-waxed chunk of quality hardwood (heartwood select pine base and birch sides). It not only serves as a box (if you would want to use it as such a thing), but as a self-contained double frame fr both of the enclosed artworks (“Red Right Hand” and “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here”) which requires no wall hanging.

The box has two decorative hinges with a decorative patina on the spine edge if it; The latching mechanism is self-made from another smaller version of these hinges, combined with three solid brass model cannons from a model ship. The latch holds the piece securely shut, but opens easily when you want it to with a slight squeeze of the box and an easy flip of the thumb.

There is a *lot* more to say about this piece, and a LOT more images of this work to see.

Printed on fine art rag paper at the exact size of the original pencil drawing – hand-signed, numbered and dated by Myke Amend.

Printed at 11×14 inches on an 18×15 sheet of 200-year archival fine art rag paper in archival pigment inks, each giclee is a long-lasting work of art in its own.

Only 20 prints of the original pencil drawing will be made, ever.

Alice rides a Mock Turtle at high speed along a peppermint lollipop shoreline, followed by the Mad Hatter in his own special-crafted craft.

These images are not made to be exact to the original story, or any movie, but rather to capture and portray the wonder that mythical and magical lands may hold within a child’s imagination.

15×18 inch giclee print (printed area 11×14) on fine art rag from the original pencil sketch by Myke Amend, printed in archival pigment inks to make for a 200+ year archival giclee print.

Each is discretely signed, numbered, and dated by the artist in pencil, within the margin.

This limited edition of 10 was made just because I thought it would be a shame for the image not to be available as a monochromatic print, and for those who really like to collect rarities.

The pencil drawing was done as a commission for friend, Violet Ash in June of 2010, a part of a small set of pencil commissions I offered up to raise gas money to the World Steam Expo.

When Elizabeth turned her eyes to the light, she froze solid and still, like a wild doe caught in the high beams of an oncoming car.

Cloaked figures with ashen faces, bathed in crimson, floated through the surrounding brush, guided by the eerie signals of their human prey. I could barely summon the courage to whisper “I’m sorry”, gazing horrified and heartbroken into Elizabeth’s tear-filled eyes as I silently mouthed my regret, then ran stumbling into the darkness.

“I believe they may be intelligent lifeforms of some sort, at least they show some signs of intelligence. Note the craftmanship, the artful beauty, the symmetry… It is a wonder they put so much care into the packaging of mere food. That it can reach us from the surface in such excellent condition, still fresh and living, is indeed impressive. I look forward to the time when they finally make contact. I am already most certainly impressed by their offerings”

Their fingers and toes, were cinched together in sets of two by hand-sewn bits of a leathery material which I can only say most closely resembled human skin. The same I would say of their tight-fitting suits of alternating dark and light colored diamond-shaped patches.

These bloody harlequins were said to be servants of some ancient and un-namable horror, a master of the ocean coasts, and now lord of the night – his eyeless and tentacled visage drawn in blood and human entrails on the southerly faces of each and every building, of each and every mass-murdered town.

From the same-named engraving. The Original engraving is 5×7 inches. The printed area of this print is just slightly over that, bringing out some of the intense detail, though remaining very close to the original size.

“The Red Queen” was painted in finger-painting, hand spatters, sponges, fast brush strokes, flung paint, toothbrushes, and most anything else handy, including feathers …but not the chicken.

The original painting is 48 x 24 inches in acrylic on birch

Print size is larger than the original engraving, but scanned at 900dpi, these giclees present a larger image where the incredible details can be seen without a magnifying glass at close range – making them perfect for viewing on a wall.

Picture for example only. Engravings to be 8×10 on clayboard (archival tempered hardboard, coated in archival white clay, coated in India ink, with the image engraved onto the surface), done in a drypoint/needle technique, in a Dieselpunk style (think Metropolis, The Chrysler Building, etc.)

I will begin these works on May 30th and will complete three per week until they are done. I have a current commission to wrap up, and a convention at the end of may to gear up for, thus the delay – but also the occasion for which I am offering these cheap commissions. I need to raise some hotel money.

I will, if you give me a subject/object you would like an image of, do it in my own style as I think it would look best, and I’ll do a great job of it. I cannot however, do incredibly specific scenes… there is a degree of specification and management where it is no longer art. If you are unsure, just email me or use my contact form – we’ll talk :)

I did a number of these engravings as a set, partially as a practice run at intaglio.
They were done on Ampersand Art clayboard: an archival tempered hardboard surface coated in white clay and india ink.
This one is a little bit 80’s, which I enjoyed doing.

Though they were all done within the span of a couple of months, this one was one of the very first.
