This piece, titled “Storytelling”, was published as the cover to the 2008 Inscape Art & Literary Magazine. I’ve finally gotten around to adding it as a print to my Papermoth shop. I think the style fits in well with some of the newer illustrative work I’ve been offering as archival prints. This image was put together in Photoshop with scanned images of my original paintings and photographs incorporated as a source for texture. The concept for this image is influenced by old, worn story-books and how memory and the physical world change with age. I like the idea that as we grow older, the things we loved as children take on different meanings for us. In that way, they age with us and this is usually paralleled by their physical condition as well.

“Contemplation”, “The World Standing Still” and “Hope for Better” are three of my more recent works that share a similar approach in style to “Storytelling”.
