Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. I thought this piece was appropriate for creating the proper frame of mind. After snow and freezing rain and frigid temperatures, I am really looking forward to t-shirt weather. (Ink and Markers)
Tree Swing
Bird in Flight
A modern art style cut paper creation. My intent was a different take on an old subject. Did I succeed?
Like SciFi? Take a look at my Science Fiction Books.
Space Cat
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
My selection for today has nothing to do with the Irish holiday, but it’s green.
For thousands of years cats have befriended us. Because of our special bond, I see no reason they won’t follow us into space. Here is a computer generated graphic of a possible home base for a cat aboard a space ship. It is from here the cat will control the mouse population. 🙂
Homecoming
To travel in space is, for the most part, boring. If the ship is operating properly, life consists of checklists and food. Similar to prison, the highlight of the day is mealtime. To make matters worse, space travel is time consuming – in more than one way. It is possible to take a six month journey and return home many years later. Who says time travel is not possible?
This acrylic painting asks the question: Do you even want to return home?
The Old West
Today’s post sticks to the Western theme. A *few years ago ( Art class in college), I created this rendition of a typical western town. Its inspiration comes from reading too many Western paperbacks.
Death Star
I created this years ago when Star Wars was big. It is an ink drawing that has been reversed. This death machine has the same fatal flaw as the original. As they say in the movie, “Remain on target.”
Robot Friend
Friendship is blind. A true friend does not care if you are black or white, Asian or Russian, young or old, or Robotic. Am I right?
Spring Forward
With the time change comes the anticipation for Spring. Say goodbye to freezing rain and snow, and embrace the coming change. To celebrate this day, I have posted a painting of what we leave behind. (Oil on Canvas)
Alien Flowers
My idea of what life might look like on an alien world. There are millions of planets, so I believe these flowers exist somewhere. Created with Copic Markers.
The Great Starship, Rama
My tribute to a Sci-Fi legend.
“It was at this point that the computers began flashing their ‘We have something interesting’ sign, and, for the first time, 31/439 came to the attention of human beings. There was a brief flurry of excitement at SPACEGUARD Headquarters, and the interstellar vagabond was quickly dignified with a name instead of a mere number. Long ago, the astronomers had exhausted Greek and Roman mythology; now they were working through the Hindu pantheon. And so 31/439 was christened Rama.” (Arthur C. Clarke – Rendezvous with Rama)
