When I began working on this, it was going to be a more detailed interpretation of the sketch I did for The BlackSun, but as I continued, it became something more.
This was going to be a business card design, but it never got to that. I like my current design much more but this image still has a good bit of Magick to it.

I am challenged by this part of myself, yet often I find it necessary to my survival. He holds many of my needed powers and abilities, yet his very presence is a test of endurance. The stern and exacting essence of Saturn the taskmaster. Yet, it is not hate that he brings, just intensity. I say JUST intensity, like intensity could ever be anything but INTENSE. Once I realized that it was intensity and endurance, it became easier. I understood his directness. His message bypasses all the petty illusions we construct. Like an arrow, his goes straight to the heart of the matter. This is a challenge if your eyes do not want to see the truth.
This is the image for the cover of my current Resume / Portfolio. I just like it by itself though without all the pesky text. Also, it is flipped. Some of these elements are part of my business card as well. I'll have to find that and post as well. :-) Enjoi!
This painting was acrylic on Masonite. I believe the masonite might have been treated with something as the acrylic has begun to chip away from the masonite. The damage is very sever and I don't think I can save the painting. However I was able to get several good photos of it and I'm going to try to repair the existing damage on the digital images. I will post that once it is complete.
I don't know how this slipped past! Well I do know since January, but better late than never... Logo for my friend Josh's Birthday Moviethon! For 2009's Logo look here.

My friend Josh began the Upstate Comic Book Club (UCBC) and invited me to come along. This is the flier he and I created to advertise the club.

Update 020814:
I had forgotten about the second version of the exterior of this flyer. To push the membership drive of the club, we added all of the trades that we had read so far. I found it recently looking for some other files. Enjoy!
