Thank you H.P. Lovecraft

A Brief depressive H. P. Lovecraft moment earlier in the year.
However, this is me acknowledging a part of myself and bringing it home.
Thank you Darkness, for keeping me alive when the light died.
Thanks also to Adobe Photoshop Elements and Bamboo Pen Pad.

The Bamboo Pen Pad

For Christmas, my good friends Shannon and Wesgot me a Bamboo Pen Pad for my Computer.  Needless to say...this changes things for me.




















The face is that of Madame Ovary from my Wunderland Strip.  It is more a message to myself than anything else.  We'll see.

24 HOUR MOVIETHON!

It has been quite awhile since my last posts.
Here some of the stuff that has been happening in that time.

This was a logo I create for my friend Josh.  Each year he hosts a Moviethon for his birthday.  Did I mention its 24 hours long?  Yeah.  I know.  I can over after work and actually made it to the end.  I was surprised myself.  The logo was created completely in Adobe Illustrator.  later it was added to the poster Josh created with covers of all the movies we watched.

Pop Sigil Desktop

I created this on around the idea of

taking a magical theorem and embodying it visually.

This one is "Use what works"

Make it your desktop for ab it and stare at it.

The space within the circle becomes active and magnetic

then It pops like a firecracker.

Fun stuff.

Solitude

Pen & Ink. Scanned. Greyscale added in Adobe Photoshop.

Full Moon Madness

The Full Moon in October hit me pretty hard.
made me realize some things about myself.
I think I might be a werewolf. LOL...
or maybe just psychotic.

Please check it out.
Sadly, OUT OF BOUNDS is the ONLY pride store in South Carolina at this point.
If you live in Greenville, SC, drop in and buy something.
they need all the support they can get.

Nothing but trouble!

not sure if the moon needs to be there,

Another of my favorite mental places.
Although sometimes difficult to climb to.

The Green Knight

Green Knight

I was trying for something completely different
and ran into this guy on the way.
He makes me nervous,
but strangely I'm not AFRAID of him.

Bifrost

I keep discovering Viking iconography
in my personal mythology.
It took me the better part of 7 years
of drawing this image again and again
to finally get the message and the name.

The Great Wall

The sad discovery of my emotional limits.
This was a strange and frustrating time.

{Digital Images manipulated in Adobe Photoshop.}

The Cube

This thing appeared in a dream one night
It was used to make a duplicate of someone's memory in case they died.
It could also steal memories in an offensive fashion.
I don't think it was sentient,
it seemed to be more of a tool.

The Absence

The Absence

A place in my head that used to make me very sad.
Now it is actually quite comforting.

King of...

not sure of what,
but there is a certain majesty here.
something Egyptian lurking in there.

Rage

Rage

a little bit of dark self portrait here...
not something I really like to admit about myself.

{Digital Images manipulated with Adobe Photoshop.}

Autumn

An Autumnal Spirit...

or perhaps Autumn himself/itself....my view at least.

I was trying to capture that feeling that Autumn gives me...

or at least convey some scrap of that feeling. :-)
