BACK TO BASICS

In case you were tiring of my current fascination with photography and the recent flurry of photos instead of art, I figured I'd post a detail of a portfolio sample I did for an agent with whom I may be working soon. Hopefully having some kind of representation will allow me to focus less on finding clients and more on actually illustrating.

I enjoyed doing this piece. It has all the kinds of stuff I like. If it were up to me, I'd do this kind of retro stuff all day. Unfortunately, kids today prefer bloodier entertainment. Now, if I had made the robot holding the kitten in a tight grip and squeezing it till its eyes blew out of the sockets and its brains oozed out, then perhaps I'd be famous with the kiddies. I just can't bring myself to do that kind of nonsense. Oh, gritty and dark is okay, and I don't mind doing that, but there's a line I can't bring myself to cross. Maybe I'm getting old, but I personally long for an innocent time that probably never really existed anywhere other than in my mind.
