Under the Sea


A parallel universe exists between that which lies above and beneath the great Sea. Although mankind has studied the immense diversity of life and design interred ‘neath the water, we have merely scratched the shallow surface with the blades of our superficial reason.

I love the depth of symbolism this illo creates. The colour diversity adds an element of lyric parallel to the piece which was written below it! Great job!

Another wonderful illustration; like the meeting of two worlds.

Technically, a woven marriage between soft tonal planes and a threading of linear connectedness. Form is well described and the fall shadows vs. digital pastels polarize value into tasteful dynamics of visual sampling. Hm, hmm; good.

A sea covered with ice... Hmmm... What a novel idea. It's like something out of a fantasy book. The soft gradation of light and shadow on the backs of the manta rays really help to push them under the surface of the ice. The line work you consistently present in your work is exceptional as well... It's tastey... ...Tastey? I've been spending too much time with Wertz!

I really like this piece, it's beautiful work and unique on the theme, makes one think of all the mysterious possibilities just beneath.
