Blade Runner Blues painting, version 1.0

After months of imagining myself making a painting for one of my favorite movies of all time, I finally grabbed a 2 x 4ft canvas that I had prepared with shades of blues about a year ago and dropped these cartoony caricatures on it. A local event, Cinema Tekka needed some art, so I cranked this out in about a day's time. This is actually a picture of it before completion. You can still see the pencil marks all across it. 

The major changes being Joanna Cassidy's Zhora character, in which case lightening her eyes did wonders to her. And I added a "spinner", the flying police car from the film over Deckard's head. 

I'll be posting a better picture of the finished thing hopefully later today. I had to rush it to the venue where it was displayed and getting a good picture of it was difficult.

Pan, lord of the wild

I had mentioned that I also create images with mythic themes and here's the first of MANY I've made over the years. A slight deviation from so much of the Sci-fi related stuff I've been posting as of late. I'm sure Pan needs little introduction. As usual the image at left is reduced to 12% of the original and the detail image at right is reduced to 25%. So these previews are TINY! Enjoy.

Star Trek Art: A Vulcan Child

In the third film, The Search for Spock, the crew of the U.S.S. Grissom are surprised to find the recently departed Captain Spock fully revived and regenerated by the powerful life-giving forces of Project Genesis. Even more surprising is that his newly formed body is that of a young boy. While we never actually saw him 'sitting' on the photon torpedo he was entombed in, I figured it would make a really cute image. The image at left is reduced to 12%. The detail image is 25% smaller than the original.
