Norma & Gladys & Sea Monster

Painted a picture of a sailboat schooner today. The Norma and Gladys was built in 1945 by Captain Henry Stone, Trinity Bay to be used in the Labrador floater fishery. The schooner, one of the last to be built in Newfoundland, was constructed of local birch and measured 93 feet and displaced 133 tons. It was used in the floater fishery by Captain Charles Kean of Brookfield, Bonivista Bay until 1951. The schooner sank in Placentia Bay in 1984; the crew was forced to abandon ship after the ship took on water and its pumps failed.

The Atlas Shrug

    Here is my latest project. I've been working on it (and a few others like it) for a new media course. The idea was to create a "moving image" (similar to the stereoscopic effect). The image itself is a digital painting inspired by some of the recent artists I've been looking at as well as some landscapes. By putting each element on a separate layer I could shift them around to give an effect of 3d space. I wanted to name the piece after the ship in the mid-ground, so the title comes from the tune I was listening to as I was finalizing the image. Turns out "Atlas Shrug" by Khemehk is connected to "Atlas Shrugged" a sci-fi novel by Ayn Rand about a dystopian United States where individuals are no longer allowed to create and the profit motive leads the the collapse of society.

Little bit of everything. Used some photo textures in the first one. I'm currently in the final stages of my independent piece for an exhibition in two weeks.
