It's nice to do these layouts from time to time to see how the work has evolved and how it's remained consistent. Lately, I've been shifting my emphasis from the tower to the portal.

I know others have likely said this, but the point and the joy in art is that it is problem solving in action. It is watching your improvement piece by piece and creating a personal visual language

Whenever people use AI instead it quite literally defeats that entire purpose of creating

The Faerie Window

I was looking at Eyvind Earle and Maxfield Parrish before and while working on this. I think I ended up being myself in the end, though.

Another round of (old) stylized trees.

Framed watercolor black horse unicorn surrounded by red roses with a sense of running motion

Framed watercolor of a chestnut horse unicorn surrounded by apples and leaves

I am open to offers on this set of four seasonal horse unicorns framed as a set!

Each is 8" x 8" (not including the frames). I've had them for a bit and it would be nice if they went together. If not, I'll probably unframe them before Gen Con and move them to my unframed original basket.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Have me in mind if you need a landscape painted.

Set against a baby blue sky, a single flame contained within a transparent sphere floats off between two broken, inward-tilting columns. In the recessed channel of one stone, a rusted chain dangles down to white sand. Links of the broken chain lie mostly buried at the base of the other column. In the immediate foreground, a red glass heart tied on a ribbon lies discarded among deeply shadowed footprints dimpling the sand as they approach the columns.

Hello! My name is Philip Byers, and I'm creating a series of fantastical landscapes and architectural forms known as The Else Lands!

Mourning Mounds.

Morning at the Monuments, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. Gigantic sword-like Monuments are visible in a foggy morning landscape in a large green valley with low grey and jade clouds. There's a guy walking a dog and a hovering kitten, looking at the landscape.

The Quack of Dawn, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A green Stojadin car with ducks riding on it and a sleepy cat on the bonnet is left deserted by an overgrown electricity pole in a field of red poppies. It's sitting surrounded by undulating clouds, waves and almost abstract organic shapes in a wide-angle look.

Some details of intricate shapes in the clouds.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy.

Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.
