Outside the Box

This is one of my new series of fantasy creatures. They just started materializing. Let your mind go when you look at them and hopefully you won't feel like your having a  bad trip! The first creature that came to me was a delightful blue dragon. He looks simple and silly but he was born out of much work. Now I have expanded my menagerie with creatures that look like they come from another planet! I am thrilled with their zany designs and vivid colors. I have always wanted to do things outside the box, not wanting to follow the norm or conventionality. I have longed to be able to design something original and not just copy others or keep reinventing the wheel. I started really doing this with my colored dog series which can be seen in my Olderwork/Dog Art section. I stopped wanting to draw or paint reality and instead stared creating fantasy which is so much more fun and fulfilling.  In my pictures I see things that delight and surprise me and not everyone sees what I see and that's ok. Even my Florals artwork is filled with fantasy with its fluidity and fantastic boldness. Stepping outside the box feels good like throwing your arms up and spinning like a dervish!
