Oldies But Goodies: Venus Hum

I was just going through some files and happened upon these images I did with Kip Kubin for the Venus Hum album The Colors In The Wheel.  That was a really fun project.  I was told to just make whatever I wanted.  What a dream.  This is how the bees for Search For the Sugar Puff Hollow were born.  They started out with a story about some bees who ran away from home and died.  They became ghosts, forever hunting for their hive.  It was a sad story but I was really into dreamy, dramatic stories at that time.  Who am I kidding, I still am.  For the new book I used the same character, changed their look and brightened up their story.  Here are some of the images from the album artwork for Venus Hum.










Lonely Robot

This guy was originally a prototype for an installation I wanted to do.  He was going to be remotely hooked up to a computer with an artificial intelligence software controlling his voice and his movements.  He would interact with viewers and other elements in the space.  He would be about 4 years old mentally, but stand around 10 or 12 feet tall.  His mother would come to him as a Greek goddess and his father a bead of light.  Maybe someday.
