Join the Circus
Some of you may already be aware of this, but this year I am participating in Grand Rapids’ Artprize competition along with Bethalynne Bajema, Ted Jauw, Kate Jauw, Bethany Greenier, John Hyatt, and Cassie Truskowski, with our combined work…
Undeath from Above
The original was drawn in pen and ink on 11×14 inch Bristol Board, I did the coloring with my 4-year old Adesso drawing tablet so as to preserve the pen and ink original.
Some Day I Will Never Grow Up
The original was painted on a wood panel cabinet I hand-made for the purpose of doing this painting. I’ll be finishing up the cabinet when I return home.. I can’t tell you what I’ll be filling the cabinet with – but when the construct is done, I will have had a lot of fun making things to fill it with.
It Looks Pretty, But Can it Kill?
A very lengthy and in-depth posting about airship physics, and (theoretical) practicality for combat, transportation, exploration… Image comparisons … Oh.. and Sky-Vikings.
How to Make an Airship Model
This construct is mostly wood, with papier-mâché for the balloon and the base shell of the gondola, and mesh sandpaper for the deck floor (to mimic the cross-hatched wooden cargo doors on an old deck)…
The Rescue Limited Edition Giclees current count

An alternate version of the promotional piece done for Dexter Palmer\'s \"The Dream of Perpetual Motion\", published by Macmillan.

This is the scene as I first imagined it in my head: not the more-accurate representation out of the two images, but my favorite.
In the novel, the main character is rather un-phased by his flight; This however is a more dramatic piece, as I would imagine the reactions of the other children taken. I also used the demon of the scarier first-draft visage (in the book, the demons aren\'t meant to be so frightening).
There are 25 limited edition giclees available, printed in high quality 200-year archival pigment inks upon fine high white-point fine art rag paper for the best and most vivid representation of this piece. The printed area is 12 x 12 inches, and the extended white border extends it to just over 13 x 13 inches.
They are, of course, signed, dated, and numbered in the margin in pencil by me
