...just the pieces I promised. Two newer pieces I have been working on. Both are departures from what I have been doing in certain senses. The first one is Alkyd on paper. I wanted to keep the basic style I have been evolving lately, but with a much brighter background with a better feel of movement. I wanted to keep it more of a "sketch". The idea of mixing the HDA theme of darkness and death with an explosion of brightness appealed to me, and I wanted to try out that dynamic. No wings or angel imagery in this one(yet), but the contrast of beautiful and death/decay I think speaks for itself
The second one is another full on experiment a'la the silver HDA Piece. I really wanted to get something dark and disturbing, with a lot of mixed media elements added to flesh it out, al while developing "my" style(whatever that means). I just kept adding things I have wanted to try with reckless abandon, basically let go of reservation about "ruining" the piece and said "fuck it" I am just going to do it all. I actually quite like how it came out. I don't think it will be one of my more popular pieces, but I think its a welcome addition to the HDA evolution
