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.
The Old West
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)
Coming or Going?
I painted this a few years ago. When SpaceX began building the Starship Protoype, the concept reminded me of this rendition of an undergound spaceport. Acrylic on Canvas.
Mechanical Bird Series
I have always had an affinity for all things mechanical. I’ve hung both aluminum and vinyl siding on houses. I’ve worked in a cabinet shop. I have built houses. I was a commercial electrician for twenty-three years. Because of my varied life experience, many things catch my interest. Steampunk machines fascinate me.
This is the first piece in a series of five original mechanical birds. I will post more as time goes by. Wind it up and watch it fly.
