The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION

Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.


"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that

are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"

"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.

"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling

nervously. One teeny monster mumbles

"I'm just following the others."


(100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever.

A smooth stone piling stands tall at the edge of the water on a white sand beach. Set near the top, a circle wrought in rusted iron provides a view through to where the water meets the shore. The circle is bisected by a diagonal, like a "no" symbol. Water pools at the base of the piling. The withdrawn tide has left a wavy line of white pebbles deposited along the sinuous coastline.

HARBINGER (2015)
Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 54"

My initial inspiration, I believe, grew out of concern for the destabilizing and immense effects of global climate change, a sense of nature out of control and giving birth to unnatural and cataclysmic phenomena. 1/2

A harsh look down abandoned main street as a dust storm is about to swallow the town, pushing forward from billowing brown clouds on the horizon. In the foreground a stop light hangs papered over with a giant wasp nest. Ominously the red light of the signal protrudes from the nest like an unblinking eye fixated on the viewer. The yellow lane line dividing the street wavers off-center. To the left, a car is overturned. Among the wreckage lies a child's rag doll spilled out the passenger window. An eagle with wings spread wide is painted on the derelict shop window.
