Live Forever

"Live Forever" is a kaleidoscopic image constructed digitally using photographs I've taken of the Dudleya Farinosa that grows at Salt Point. Succulents are some of my favorite plants, and this one is my favorite succulent.

I have a lot of digital work that doesn't end up on this blog for whatever reason. Anyways, that ends now, a lot more of this stuff is going to start showing up here from now on.

I've been working on this drawing on and off for over a year. Now that's it's finally finished I've decided that I want to add a background and a bunch of other crap, so perhaps in another year it will truly be done. The original idea of this drawing was inspired by a level in Golden Axe where you do battle in a village on the back of a giant sea turtle. This guy here is more of a snapper, so when I finally get around to doing the rest he will be traversing a more swamp like environment. I've got some other plans in store for it as well, but you will have to wait until it's complete to see them.

Just finished some new prints of this illustration recently. This is a project I'd been meaning to get done for a really long time now and I finally got around to doing it. Originally this illustration was done for the Unkut Hunks record, but since that ended up not getting released I wanted to do some prints of it myself. In case you were wondering, it is a cyclops wizard riding a metal seahorse through an eyeball vortex.


I'm really happy with how these came out overall. The colors on the background are blended manually, so every print will be slightly different. It also glows in the dark! I also printed a layer of metallic pearl ink on the seahorse and the hilt of the sword. It's not really visible on this scan but from certain angles a subtle metallic sparkle is visible.


I only made 15 of these guys, I'll be putting them up in the webstore soon.
