Byron's ArtRage Explorations

[byroncallas]

Caesar: I see you've been brushing up on Superstring Theory; You're giving me ideas old boy.
Katie: thanks as ever, much appreciated.
Albert: Likewise - And now that you mention it, it might be fun to try a full aerial cityscape without symmetry; might try.
Sandy: thanks so much again, and I do hope you are feeling better.

Thanks all.

I wasn't sure what to call it. I considered calling it US Monetary Policy, or Congress in Session, or some strange similarity, but it seemed a bit forced. And it IS a dark contemplation, so maybe that will do. 100% AR4 built with metallic, black and white bump paint and all versions of the knife. No filters or blends, just bump paint and bunches of knife settings. It's a more satisfying piece if you fill your screen and stand back several feet. It then resolves into the visual depth intended (hopefully).

There are very impressive and highly skilled images in this thread. I could learn a lot from you. Terrific work.

It does look really excellent enlarged. Very clever, metallic, full of texture and interest.

I meant to comment on your Albert's etc, and it slipped by me. I think that's very good too. Love your work! Byron!

Brilliant. Somehow the paletter sticker you used made an asian knot handcraft in the middle. Very pretty. And, another great black and white series on your play with the meaning in it. I like the this one

This is a view "below street level" of a specific woman's shadow. She is bound and is beset by demons, one of which seems like an addiction to a dark mood for whatever reason that particular emotional state serves her - control, familiar pattern, whatever. As her heart is burdened by a darkness, so too is her perception of the world. The demon I see in this painting is climbing out of her heart through the shoulder as if looking to infect and also feed on someone who she has drawn in.

Gnarly, dude! It's as if you uncovered an evil talisman from an ancient archeological dig. . . and/or simply met one of my formers. Yikes. Hope you don't mind if I pass on hanging this one on my wall.

You went "underground", dear Byron, but still with astounding artistic outcomes!

[Orkhan]

The calling of Pripyat, this dark one is. Bevealed and embossed pain it is

[coops]

Even though its dark so much to see and think about Byron
