Paradise Lost: Cobbled together

Here's where the triptych ended up....still look at it as a work in progress, but I'm happy to leave it be for a little while....School's out and I'm ready to get crackin' on my show stuff with Jess....

Paradise Lost: God version 4

Paradise Lost: Version 3

I'm planning on colorizing these when I have the time; sort of like an old daguerreotype.

Paradise Lost: Version 2

I'm playing around with this as a vertical triptych, in case that wasn't apparent at first glance...

Paradise Lost: Version 1

I'm working on another series of collage/painting thingys...this time based of Milton's Paradise Lost. I'm trying to decide on what arrangement works the best. These images aren't "scrubbed", i.e. they aren't perfect, still need some work done on them so keep that in mind. I'm trying to figure out which arrangement works the best.

The Island of Dr. Moreau Continued

Some further illustrations for H.G. Wells' mini masterpiece. I was reading The Island of Dr. Moreau recently and it filled me with a greatly missed nostalgia for my childhood. Odd isn't that? You'd think a Saturday morning cartoon or pop song would be the sort of thing to jog one's longing for their youth....apparently I'm wired differently. I miss Wells' writing style. The pacing and verbiage just fill my mind with illustrative ideas. A novel from the 1800 or 1900's seems easier to invision as an illustration because there's a built in romanticism for whatever period that's being represented. Whereas most of today's modern setting books really lack those visuals that demand to be drawn or visualed in viserality.

OCD Business Cards

A couple of samples of business cards....Just began playing around with color, still have work to do with those....
