New Abstract: Abrasax at the Door to the Realm of Mirrors

He breathed a whisper upon the apparatus.
It shimmered and rippled,
its oscillations murmuring with a quiet ecstatic sigh.
Enfolding into his reflection,
the uncreated Father kissed himself into the world.

New Abstract: Fires of the Forsaken

"In the distance, the clouds of their campfires could be seen, filling the air with oily black smoke.  They were burning everything they could find, just to stay warm, just to stay alive.  It seemed as though the whole world were on fire."

Out of the Chaos of April: Skin Crawling Comics

Within the turbulent chaos of the month of April, I was very lucky to have a shiny happy moment come to me.  There were two actually, but you've already heard about my lifesaving laptop.  My other bright spot is that I recently have joined the ranks of creators involved in the Skin Crawling Comics horror anthology.

The CISPA Blackout May Be Over....

Feeling uncomfortable yet?  Wait until CISPA passes.

The Blackout against CISPA may be over but battle stills rages.  If your privacy is important to you, I urge you to investigate the nature of CISPA and contact your representatives as soon as possible.

HELP STOP CISPA!

CISPA MUST BE STOPPED!

New Abstract: Gift of the Red Angel

During February and March I was doing a good bit of work with the Geburah sphere of the Kabbalah and this image is one of the results of those studies.  This may even be yet another image of Khamael.

New Abstract: Osiris Emerging from the Cup of Bones

Like the Pair Dadeni, the Cauldron of Rebirth, here we have the Cup of Bones with Osiris emerging.

Featured Creature Bonus: Devil's Square, Scratch Portrait

Here is a portrait of Scratch from the Devil's Square.  I was in between things at the library and felt like a bit of color sketching for a change.  It was a fun challenge also as I didn't have my entire pen collection with me so my color palette was limited.  I had to create some of the colors by mixing others: one of my favorite pastimes.

From the Archives: Devestation

Here we have the dying embers of a vast destructive blaze.  This piece was painted during a daunting time when I felt my creativity was dwindling towards permanent extinction.  I'm happy to be writing this post and for my creativity to still be burning. I have felt this way again very recently, but the universe, just this past week, gave me back my hope.  :-)

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Screwworm

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"Concerning the eldest member of the Devil's Square, the entity known as Screwworm seems at first to be only a simple battle Mage.  However, our research indicates a much higher level of prowess than shown in the feats he has been observed performing.  He may only be a proficient illusionist or we may be looking at one of the most dangerous magi this department has every encountered.  It is unknown if his teammates are aware of the extent of his abilities as our records indicate an acceptance of and satisfaction with his actions to date.

New Abstract: The Yellow King

Prior to researching ideas for this post, I had no knowledge of Robert W. Chambers' work, or The King in Yellow.  Now, however, I must know more.

Computer News

I think my computer issues may be resolved, but I'm still on hold for a couple of days and I don't want to jinx things before everything is resolved.  Hopefully, I will have good news come Monday and can get back to my regularly scheduled posting.  Wish me luck!
