Finished! BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS, 19x13”, pearlescent watercolor on handmade black paper. Depicting the May 10, 2024 solar storm over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon. What a night! (BOREAS, the Greek god of the north wind, is what the aurora borealis are named for.)
I was a big fan of Métal Hurlant, to see it revived by the folks at Humanoïdes Associés is such a treat. And now another cult science fiction magazine has relaunched, for us to discover or rediscover: Worlds of IF
Tau Zero, Bob Eggleton's masterpiece, makes the cover of the Worlds of IF Science Fiction Magazine
This new issue of the venerable magazine offers a blend of scifi litterature and art, including stunning artworks by Rodney Matthews and Bruce Pennington.
Presenting DUST OF OSIRIS, watercolor and ink, 12x12”. Inspired by the Egyptian decorative motifs, the Egyptian Revival movement, and a high-res photo of the opened OSIRIS-REx sample container, containing dust from asteroid Bennu. This has been a labor of love for me, I hope you enjoy it!
Nearly done with the ink/gold portion of the #osirisrex#wip. Next up, decorative precious stone inlay (in paint, both figuratively and LITERALLY thanks to my Daniel Smith PrimaTek #watercolors), a golden center, and finally, asteroid samples!
This artist's conception shows a young, hypothetical planet around a cool star. A soupy mix of potentially life-forming chemicals can be seen pooling around the base of the jagged rocks.
