This one’s a good mix of horror, sci-fi, Francis Bacon, Expressionism and an obvious nod to Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in particular (though that has never been one of my favorite paintings). This is one of a series of a dozen 3X4′ acrylic paintings I did when I was in my early 20s.

I’m pretty happy with this piece. It blends several of my approaches, resulting in a non-cliched Sci-Fi, mixed with an Impressionist treatment, Baconian distortions, and faux painterly flairs including Van Gogh brush strokes. So, I’m mixing my Fine Art with the Sci-Fi (now “retro”) of my childhood, which represented a window of escape from quotidian…

This is different from my other digital paintings in that it’s done from a scan of my physical, acrylic painting below. The painted version was based on a brush and India ink drawing I made first, then painted over, which is why it had bold black outlines. Because I worked directly in ink without any…

I’m going to share what this piece is about, how I did it, and why I think it’s good. If I wait for some critic to do it for me, I’ll need to have my consciousness transferred to a robot host, and then wait centuries before finally collapsing on the bank of some river, midday,…

The beast is alive! This is the B&W version. Next I’m going to work on putting it in color, partly just to see what it will turn out like. I don’t normally work like this at all, so I don’t know exactly what to expect.

Update [11/12/13 12:00 a.m., Thailand]: Now I’m starting to get into it. I didn’t really like the more technical phases of getting the perspective right, and establishing a range of values. But it was a necessary step. Now I can work more intuitively, which I can see is what I really like. My imagination or…

Still in sketch phase. I started this “human fly” as a quick piece I could finish for Halloween. Probably won’t, so got the idea to share it in stages, so there’s something out there to capture people’s Halloween imagination. I’m trying to work in a more representational style here, a lot like pulp magazine covers…
