My first original piece in a while, this was a lot of fun to do—and a great relief to find I can still do delicate, time-consuming watercolors, after having spent the better part of the last two years slaving away at Year of the God-Fox. This painting inspired a little snippet of a story (see below), which …
A project I’ve been dreaming of for several months now, the Astral Chimera are a series of oil paintings re-imagining stars as mythic beasts (chimeras). The first batch, containing Sirius, Regulus, Fomalhaut, Procyon, Polaris and Betelgeuse recently made their debut at the Further Confusion art show.
