Man in a Bowler Hat, 1964 by Rene Magritte

Magritte used the image of a man wearing a bowler hat in several of his paintings. This painting is perhaps not as well known as other paintings by Magritte, nevertheless, it is easily identified as a painting by Magritte and recalls the well known painting The Son of Man, 1964.

Another little sketchbook piece, experimenting with low light and a glow effect. Been loving these light-focussed works lately!

The Therianthropic statuette (Löwenmensch)

from the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave, Ca. 30,000-26,000 BCE.

31 centimetres tall.

Ccarved from mammoth ivory it stands as the oldest known example of figurative art.

Discovered in a cave in Germany, this enigmatic sculpture merges human and animal features in a way that challenges understanding—both hauntingly familiar and strikingly otherworldly.

It offers a profound glimpse into the creative genius of early humans, hinting at their capacity for imagination and symbolic thought.

Remarkably, the Lion-man predates the advent of known written language by more than 30,000 years. To put that in perspective, it is older than Stonehenge by tens of thousands of years.

This ancient artifact showcases an extraordinary leap in artistic expression, marking one of the earliest examples of humans conveying complex ideas long before written records existed.

‘Of the Heavens’ — watercolor & mixed media on paper

This my first painting I created for my recent exhibition, ‘Fables’. I’ve always had a fascination for folktales around the world. These stories have always sparked wonder in my imagination as a kid, so I wanted to create my own personal interpretation of a few fabled creatures with respect to the traditions, symbology and legends where they come from. The first that came to mind was that of the Dragon, a creature prevalent throughout a lot of East Asian cultures and often symbolic of power, fortune and the divine. So, here’s my interpretation of the Dragon, blessed with auspicious jade eyes & claws 😄 #brbchasingdreams

Digital painting style experiments. I used the same brush, color scheme and base sketch. Each was painted a different day.

The first I was very intentional and aiming for a distinct simple bold look. The middle I blurred my eyes and aimed toward realism when I laid the colors down, then I cleaned it up with my focus on bringing out emotion. The last one I turned off my brain and overworked it to see where it would end up.

yep

oh! theres also a bonus one. It was too out of place to include in the set
