Celestial promises

I did a small mock up for this a while back, Creating a flow of movement and playing with the directional values of the image. You feel floaty on the washed out waves but as your eyes hit the closest figure you are drawn forward figure to figure, until the surf pulls at your vision again making another trip from corner to corner. I used washes of black and blue India ink on this, and some watered down acrylic for the hair, the size is 18"x24"

Lines..

The very staging of life as we know it.. Lines.. They meet and converge becoming one within many. The very essence of reality is pulled at through the lines we see.. This in turn brings each one of us the perception that is key 
Become like the tattering scratching lines.. As they weave and search for a place to rest on.. The journey has just began.  Here is a couple pages out of my journal.. Memoirs.. Purely consisting of lines.

Drawing of the day! Life drawing

The human body! What a wonderous contraption it is indeed. With all it's working bits.. Tiny veins to deliver fuel where it needs to go like a overly complex steam engine.. The brain.. The depth of vision and intangible voices within itself.. Here are some drawings from earlier in the day.. Studies of flesh and shadow and of course the ever piercing light that touches the darkest reaches of man.

Celestial provinces

Here is a small mock up for a larger piece I ended up doing.. Dancing souls on the last edge of the void. They wait to guide and replicate the story of life to you,if you let them. I used watered down washes of ink to create some interesting effects.
