Stunning! It's my new favorite. It has a lovely dreamy feeling but at the same time has an in-your-face, one-two punch of drama. You've outdone yourself on this one!!! :D
Very Epic. Has very a very powerful Russian Propaganda Art feel to it.
These are really great. The desert work in particular took me back to my childhood. I grew up in the San Jacinto/Palm Springs area. Your paintings captured the land perfectly.
Thanks AW. It was the show favorite today. Dan called it the coffin train. i like that.
Right Dan?
Somebody today said Fortune Magazine today.
NICE man! i love the grey and the disappearing lines in the foreground train rail - beautiful - looks like some glazing - did you let this one dry and hit it again or was it all direct? panel changing your moves up?
BEAUTIFUL!
that very cool!!!
Hey Miles,
Only "Instant Glazing" as I did it all in one shot. Working very thin with the darks using a rag and letting it "dry" for a few minutes and adding the some brushwork over the top.
That train feels very ominous. I think that is what trains will look like post-apacolypse.

great use of textured linework man - seriously dramatic and distincly unique - tasteful! was also thinking maybe you torqued your textures with your ground layer? whatever it is your are doing - you rock

thanks JD
Jesse, they look like that now... ;-)
Yes Miles, I am a texture torquer. I put ground stone into my gesso and apply it as textured and rough as possible when I brush it on so it will dry raised on the wood.
I'm fascinated by the shadows and highlights on that train. Absolutely Gorgeous! I also love the sense of motion in those tracks.
Bravo!
Kristen. Thanks, It's always interesting to get favorable comments from fellow cartoonists. You're a heck of a little Prisma color jockey yourself.
I think the top part of the train is built like a coffin lid. It's a very powerful painting. Fits right in with the industrial decay theme you revisit.
I almost want to call it "coffin train", but it's not...
this is so good ... you've given it a terrific atmosphere. Brooding and powerful imagery that haunts.
YOur paintings are soo amazing to see!!
