Vimana Series

The Vimana Series. Stretching back some 20 or more years (maybe less?) Anyway, many of these have never been offered as prints. Now they are. I hope you like them, and appreciate the continuity of theme! ;p

“Vimana/The Alchemists’ Daughter”

The most very recent piece. Having been on hiatus from doing art on the computer, concentrating on Acrylics and Pencil work. This was a return to digital works. It touches on a recurring theme outside of the Vimana Series (The Alchemical Experience/Schools).

“Vimana/The River”

This one came about as a lark and ended up in the Invisible College Review. Again, it touches on the Rennaissance influence that has been working through my collage works for the last several years.

“Vimana VI/Ziggurat”

A piece from 2013, the most recent of the Vimana pieces based in deep antiquity. A merging of West Asian & North African influences in my art. At one time I wondered what this would have been if there were a colour pallete adapted to it. Then of course, the night often seems to be a spectacle of black and white contrast.

Vimana V/At the Tomb of a Sufi Saint

Second in the variant stage of the illustration of the Vimana. These two pieces were constructed during intense entheogenic explorations of Tryptamine Space/DMT (and variants from South America/Central America. The crystalline structure of the Vimana is a nod to entities encountered during that time period.

Vimana IV/Close Encounters, of every kind

1st of 2 variants on a theme. If I recall correctly, this piece took a better part of 2 weeks of work. There is much I would have done differently if I were working on this now. It still sings to me though; it stands out in the series as a complete departure from what went before.

Vimana III
See this is what I am talking about in titling. Numbering them is much easier; in that I wanted to avoid coming up with something hokey. (yes, that is a problem!) Composition wise, this one is a bit of an oddity, mixing colour with black & white illustration. You would think that the foreground was more conducive to colour… I was very excited about the clouds in this one. Working on the clouds was quite enjoyable. First time I had put so much thought to this part of an illustration.

Vimana/The Shore
This piece was a joy to work on. Multiple layers, gradients and composition challenges. Not very original with titling, especially when on repeats with a similar label for another piece later on. Titling is a struggle at times. The piece has a dynamic and depth flow that works IMO.

Vimana II
This was an odd one… 2nd in the series and it seriously mixes influences up. It was pointed out that Mayan architecture and angels were an odd juxtaposition. Granted, it is but this is collage after all! I wanted a feeling of disassociation in the final piece.

Vimana I
This was created after I had reread “Morning of the Magicians” If India, why not Egypt rattled around my brain for a few days before sitting down to work on this. It stands out among the works, still a favourite after all of these years. Particularly fond of the colourization. This is a palette that emerges again and again in the various pieces done over the years.
