Elon Mars, 52 x 73.5 inches, acrylic and Japanese ink on Fabriano paper.
This painting is about a hero's journey. In it good battles evil and thought battles gravity.
The hero is a composite picture, part the prince from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's tale - with a star and a stone flower, part Paul on Arrakis, part Japanese samurai.
There's Darth Vader in it and a cascading Martian landscape in the background, and a couple of ziggurats fight eternity.
This is a cartoon for an oil painting, a detailed version of the oil painting on paper.
