Put the light out. | Turn the light on.

I started this painting about this time last year, finished it a couple months ago, and then promptly forgot to post it. WHOOPS.

Anyway. Awhile ago I was hit by the similar but opposing natures of fire towers and lighthouses, and I wanted to explore that more. Both lonely, out of the way stations worked in isolation in sometimes extreme conditions, both tasked with protecting large swathes of people they will never meet or probably even see. Yet one is about spotting light in the distance and putting it out, while the other is about turning on the light within and shining it out.

I'm doing a special run of prints of this illustration on high quality poster canvas paper, at multiple sizes and starting at just $10usd, to help with the fact that I've been caught in the government hiring freeze, so I'm not sure when I'll be back to work at my day job at this point.

You can pre-order a print here.

Been worried because a bit ago I walked past a group of kids and one little fella yelled at another one “I just stabbed you with the most deadliest poison in the world”. I don’t even think he should have that. I don’t want him to have that near me

horse whose hooves are stuck individually in different colored buckets the horse seems a bit surprised but unbothered the sign of a well mannered yet perhaps empty minded horse or perhaps this is all a goof of the horses own design

“and so over the silent valley she wandered

between velvet night and cold earth below,

spilling across fresh-fallen snow a dusting of starlight

to glimmer beneath the silver flush of a wintry moon.”
