new ink "Pilgrimage"


Ok, I still have three inks to go, and that should conclude this series- that I sorta started in '05 with "She Lord" ink. Also, me and my wife just got a house, we'll be moving in Aug. 12. I'll finally have my studio/room all to myself. Which is great. On top of that I have a show coming up in a couple months and I just got the frames for the artwork. Stuff looks really great framed. That was a sigh of relief. Having said that I think I'll need a little bit more than coffee to keep me going in the weeks to come.

Interesting scene, the elongated figures scattered through out the crowd are very bizarre. Is there a backstory behind this piece or is it just a random scene from this fantasy world of yours?

That's great. Looks like some commentary on a totalitarian type religion, with the tall guys acting as police-priests.
Congrats on the house! My girlfriend/ commonlaw wife just bought our first house.We've been in here a month now. Spent all day yesterday painting.
I was overwhelmed by the responsibility for a while.There is always stuff to do, stuff to worry about. I never considered before this that someday I'd have to mow my own lawn and weed a garden. A few friends came over and I was pulling out weeds as they walked up and they couldn't hepl but laugh at me..
Where'd you get the house, right in Philly?

aeron - I guess it is like a religious pilgrimage in my made-up world. I think that, eventually, if I were to post all 10 inks together-hopefully it would fill in the made-up world a bit.

luke- Yeah, in center city philly, we strongly kept our lifestyle in mind when we were thinking about the mortgage. So we could continue living it, and not be "house-poor." We'll see how that's gonna work out.
And yeah, the tolalitarian religious theng is about right. Though I'm not sure if those big dudes are police. More like walking symbols.

I love this drawing. Once more you conjure up a fascinating (and frightening) world with your original designs.
