The Hermit Who Waits on an Ancient Moon
IX
The hermit sits in meditation. His third eye is illuminated. He uses telekinesis to lift the the skull (a reminder of our mortality) and an hour glass (the inevitability of destiny). His tent decayed. Below it his painting titled: "Challenges in Pursuit of the Call of Destiny". The hermit has been waiting for millenniums, and killed time by spraying graffiti and being an absolute boss.
I open with ""The Hermit Who Waits..."" because I feel it is the best representation of my artistic style: SPIRITUAL SURREALISM or BUBBLEGUM SCIENCE FICTION

The Egos of 18TH Century Nobility
Here we have a guy raised to believe his flowers don't stink, and boy-oh-boy does he believe it, he has paid an artist from a distant city to show how great his flowers smell, Behind him is a folly (resembling the PANTHEON). He leans on a pillar for support. Love him or hate him he's got it good and he knows it.
I'm really putting everything I have into these illustrations. Here is a scan of the the black and white ink original. Meditation, artistic effort, and purpose-driven intention are at the core of spiritual surrealism/ bubblegum science fiction
The Emperess Listens to the Warrior's Requests
III
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but each card of the tarot tells a trillion stories. With just ten cards a persons life and current predicaments can be shown and evaluated. I love the tarot, but the Empress is a card I have always found odd. Why is she always so youthful? Why is such a youthful kind looking woman married to such a brutal man? So, I decided to depict the empress as a beautiful old crone.
The Empress has executed the old hooded bastard and taken his armada for her own. Now the forces of her new empire bring her offerings so that she may bless them with good will and send the Valkyrie to collect them when they die in her name.
In 2010 I invented a way to paint with chromatic ferrofluid as a result I had a Jackson Pollock Period
