In these days of digital dominance to hone my skills I've been painting to a canvas/board again, It's refreshing and the presence of creativity has always helped align me. Back when Dan first started this board I found his site and asked if he would post a painting I'd named "Too Late Rites" http://home.earthlink.net/~taurusmars/2LTRTSP re-Mess.html This in turn gave birth to the opportunity of designing the packaging for "A Fine Mess". In that same style, spirit; I'm finishing up a Kevin Gilbert piece which illustrates the Toy Matinee period. I wanted create an image from a time period I first discovered his incredible music. It actually had existed for years as a thumbnail sketch I never gave much merit. What inspired me to do it was the color scheme and composition, and of course a sudden abundance of free time. I'll see if I can get Dan to post a sneak peak for anyone interested. So check back later.
