Upcoming MileHiCon 43

In a mad dash to get stuff ready for Denver's MileHiCon 43 art show. Will have several new wall-mounted raydiopunk 3d pieces including a couple mounted weapons. If you don't know what raydiopunk is: its an art style I am in the process of deriving from Dieselpunk and related SF-genre visual styles, integrating it with my own speculative visions of alternate pasts and projected other realities. Really.

Also trying to finish up a few new illustrations from  which I'll be producing prints. Four weekends left and it's just crazy trying to get everything together...about ten different projects going on simultaneously. My daytime job commuting to Dallas for three months totally killed my schedule. Hopefully some of this work can translate to local non-SF shows which I think it can -- my work received positive feedback from a show at Core gallery on South Santa Fe in Denver this past Spring and has been seeing interest from some "art buyers" too so we'll see come 2012.

Premiere of First Dieselpunk Work

Image
Yay, so I am back from the MileHiCon 43 Science Fiction Convention art show in Denver, where my full size (12 x18) premiere of Dieselpunk work sold right out of the gate! Sniff, and I was getting attached too...the sucker took me about 45 hours to complete! Not easy when you have a full time day job, raising a family, blah blah. Though the 12 x 18 (modestly framed) is in an edition of forty, I will only have those available through shows. Online (Etsy, etc) I have created  a series of smaller prints (image reduced + cropped) from the full size...here is a low resolution peek at one of those versions.

Pulp Practice

Image
This poster was a study I put together spoofing the old 50's/60's Science Fiction movies. It is a digital collage intended for learning/practicing putting together the visual elements and saturated illustration styles of that type of pop culture images. In this case it was in the context of (again, lampoon of) a "political" statement. I was hoping to see if I could discover what it was that made those posters and pulp covers look/feel the way they did in regards to the viewer. I was basically happy with how it turned out.

Works in progress

Some assemblage sculptures that I am reworking into updated, new lives as they become elements of  various digital collage/illustration projects. As usual, each piece is simply a visual record of things and events which took place in the secret world beyond our own...of this I can say no more! Detail of the Quantum Diver mechanism. About 10 inches tall. Captain Zerkiah's escape from the Black Pit. About 9 inches tall.  Detail showing a miniature map of the continent where the famed escape took place. This post has been edited.
