New Dali tribute piece
Here’s my latest work — another tribute to my favorite artist Salvador Dali, incorporating many of his best paintings.
New work!
I’m very happy with my two newest pieces. These were done on consignment for someone who loves foxes and ravens, so they’re not available for sale. Hope you like them! (Click on the pictures to enlarge them)
Chesley Nominations!
The Chesley nominations are open, given by ASFA (Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists). “Dali #2” is eligible and they’ve included it on their page of suggestions.
If you’re an ASFA member, please consider me! And you don’t have to be an artist to be a member; fans of art can join, too.
They have me under “Best 3D”.
