Phantasmagoria - a constantly shifting complex succession of real or imaginary images like that seen in a dream.

Phantasmagoria II

Aurelius Moonglow and his familiar, the great moth, Lumina reach the edge of a cliff overlooking the vast ocean. They gaze upon the shimmering waters, waiting for a sign of Thalassor, the Leviathan of the Sea's presence.

"Fear not Lumina, my faithful companion. Legends speak of the sea dragon's benevolence and its deep connection to the balance of our world.  The dark force that looms over our land grows stronger with every passing moment. We must convince the dragon to join us in our fight against this impending doom."

As the wizard speaks, a colossal head emerges from the water, its eyes gleaming with ancient wisdom and power. The sea dragon's voice booms like the crashing of waves.

"Mortal beings, why have you disturbed the tranquility of my domain? Speak quickly, for your intrusion tests my patience..."

Before the Turn of the Tide

Traversing the threshold between reality and the subconscious on a journey of transformative self discovery. Things are gained, some things are lost and new doors open along the ethereal expanse. The memory of a dream or a dream of a memory?

Etherstride the Ancient

In this piece I aim to capture the essence of places that seem to cross over into the surreal. By using a combination of realistic and surrealistic elements, I seek to create a dream-like atmosphere that blurs the line between reality and imagination.

My inspiration for this piece comes from my fascination with the way that certain places can evoke a sense of otherworldliness and strangeness. Whether it be abandoned buildings, overgrown forests, or desolate landscapes, these places have a way of stirring the imagination and inviting us to explore their mysteries.

Through my artwork, I aim to capture the essence of these surreal locations and bring them to life in a way that is both mildly unsettling and beautiful. By using a combination of muted and vibrant colors, intricate details, and unexpected elements, I seek to create a visual experience that is both disorienting and captivating.

By embracing the surreal and the fantastical, we can begin to see the world in a new light and discover the hidden beauty and meaning that lies beneath the surface.

This piece is based on our old family cat, Scamp.  She died at the grand old age of 21 and was the gentlest but most playful soul.  I made this in memory of her.

Magical Beasts V2

'In the darkest depths of the ocean, the last mermaid emerges from her clamshell and discovers she is the sole survivor of a lost, undersea kingdom.  With the help of a new companion, the last whale, the last mermaid has the chance to break free from her underwater world and walk on land.  But what awaits her above the tender waves?'

The Last Mermaid

A period of stasis can be described as a period of inactivity.  Recently in my creative journey I encountered a bit of a block in terms of communicating my ideas onto the canvas/screen.  

This piece represents the existence of many ideas but feeling like I needed a fresh vehicle to show them in my art.  In a sense they were there but locked up or dormant.  This in turn actually became an idea all on it's own and I think has given me the spark to unleash the rest.  It's funny how creativity can work like this sometimes.

Within this piece I wanted to create a sense of suspended time and an almost meditative state along with the jumbled abstract forms and flowing shapes to represent the ideas and thoughts that are loaded and ready to go.  This state of mind has almost overtaken the subject with the organic forms growing over the face and ready to engulf everything.

I broke my finger towards the end of making this piece so I hid my x-ray in here somewhere.  See if you can find it!

In the vast expanse, I take flight,  
Weightless whispers, freeing my sight.  
Gravity's grasp, a distant tether,  
In weightlessness, I dance forever.

Mat Miller 1/1

She keeps watch of the spongy green swamps
Where the waters swell with a swish and a swash!
Pass by without sound and do not disturb 
For the magic she conjures is rather absurd!

A month in the making and I enjoyed every moment of it.  I'll actually be kind of sad to not exist in her magical swampland anymore.

Sorceress

Melding my illustrative and abstract processes to create something more ethereal.  The tiger could be said to be nebulous or ghost like in nature itself so was the perfect subject matter for me to experiment with what I wanted to achieve here.
