Where Art Thou?

Where Art Thou?

"Where ART thou? Come again and wrap your hands around me. Feel me with thou radiant jubilation and thou caress me with ye herbal scented hair. I will create ye my love an art lullaby. For it is us, a tao, are thou?

Is a concept I thought of in the mid hours before midnight and I had this idea to create a scene of an artist finding his inspiration. I wanted to play with the concept of 'Where are thou?' in a word play of Where art tao? I felt that saying thou and depicting it in the image would relay to the observer that thou is tao and ART is are. To the point where the actual message means 'Where are you?'. There is more symbolical meaning within the title and illustration. Enjoy.

Sign

It started as a daydream and then a sketch. Then later words started to influence the direction of the composition. These words Reality, Morality, Hope, and Pride. I couldn't choose either, because the meaning in this peace is multiple. The title was originally Municipal Order of Morality, but I couldn't satisfy my conscience on just one concept. I felt sign was all I could say.

Sign n. 1. Something that indicates a fact, quality, etc.; token. 2. A gesture that conveys information, etc.

This Winter Help Came

This was entered in the "Winter is Magic" Contest and it was nominated in Third Place.

I chose this concept to show how winter is magic. I wanted something more realistic, because it did happen. We all choose to see magic differently and in this piece the boy being helped by the light reflecting on the broken snow globe is the perspective I chose. There is a lot of symbolism, starting with the dust particles falling, even between the broken wall which you're looking through is also in a shape of a star.
