My young grandson saw this creature and wanted to know if they made it in Lego! He is into weird aliens, etc. Might be a money spinner to get Lego interested??! Very skilful and imaginative painting. Perhaps you are a frustrated astronaut and you secretly want to go and explore Planet Zod!

I work in IT, therefore most days I feel as if I *am* on planet Zod. Actually, although I like fantasy art, I don't like *violent* and *scary* fantasy art, plus as a genre there are so many artists that, although they have godlike-ability in the technique of execution of their pictures, the subjects can get very very repetitively boring.. the same theme of muscle-men with blood-stained weapons, grotesque monsters and ridiculous female 'warriors' ... you know the stuff I mean. I like my fantasy art to depict calm and serene worlds. Have a look at the castle valley picture and the space cat picture in this gallery to see what I mean. I like to think the alien depicted above is a nice and friendly , almost puzzled by the human explorer taking his photograph :-)

An early attempt at creating smooth gradation of sky patterns using multiple (several dozen) washes of very dilute paint. Also was interested in rendering distant rocks with lighter tones.
