Vigistry Gallery 2011

She's sort of the other-side-of-legal program. The similarity of Bluette's pose to the Tron Legacy siren posters is actually coincidental; she just felt like showing off her backside. Special thanks to Nick Cobb aka Aphex for providing the cool background. Speaking of cool, does anyone else feel a draft?

Uncle Henry's Swap or Sell-It Guide is a Maine business that has been dealing in classified ads since 1970. Also known as "The Maine Bible," the little wallpaper paster guy and his dog have become New England-wide icons. Stephen King mentions it a couple of times in his book Full Dark, No Stars. Here, Celest role-plays as the paster guy and looks pretty good doing it!

Legend says that the small village of Dustborough receives a visiting spirit every month; although towering in stature, it wanders off over the mountains leaving no trace. There have been reports of rhythmic quakes during this time, possibly the creature's footsteps, but few have actually witnessed it. Less wish to talk about it, for certain. I, personally, have not seen it because I'm never awake that early!

Merfolk beware, because this thing, that usually dwells in the deepest trenches, shows its hideous, mutated self when hungry. Although initially tiny in stature, the mass of whatever it devours becomes its own until fully digested.

Celest makes a sexy centaur when engaged in a morning stretch amidst a fantasy woods setting. The picture consists of a bunch of inconsistent elements pasted together and posterized to make them look more— well— consistent. The original pencil version of Celest can be found in "Ladies of Fantasy".

Hip Flask and Miki from the Elephantmen comic series. Most of civilization might be weirded out by the personification of the fattest things on safari, but the B.L.T. men's store must be making a killing! That tie is a hammock, and the trenchcoat could house three people on a camping trip!

It's beer time! Reese and Bluette are minding their pints and quarts and serving them up at an Oktoberfest party. They serve quarts mostly. I see a whole gallon right now! As the two sexy bar maids strike a pose, various characters from Good vs. Medieval and Amy K. Cyrway's Apocrypha universe frolic in the background. Reese belongs to Amy; I can't claim her, unfortunately. Yes, this picture was completed in March, far from Oktoberfest, but the girls show that beer is good any time of the year!

Guro is an illustrative genre that depicts utmost gore or anything utterly disgusting enjoyed by certain disturbed individuals. Somewhat disturbed myself, I gave it a shot in a freakish art trade. It started with Sera Sierra, the mad maid, and her killer vacuum cleaner with razor teeth. That itself is a good candidate for the task at hand, right? I mean, look at all the blood! That's a disembodied hand coming out of the vacuum cleaner; how shocking is that?... Nah, it gets far more sadistic than that. Not safe for work.

The line drawing was done by comic artist Winged Worchael for a coloring exercise, so this is me doing the push-ups in preparation for my next big project. This elfin gypsy character has no name or background story, but I guess coloring exercises rarely do.

Artwork endorsed by actress Claudia Christian (Babylon 5, Highlander, Playboy) done in Heavy Metal style. The piece was designed for signed and numbered prints at her one-and-only Claudia Con UK. I dig a warrioress who wields a demonic trident and slays gold elemental beasts!

I saw this dreaded day coming. The sweet sixteen party is every girl's chance to be a real brat, and Bluette just magnifies the attitude. Look, she thinks the New Year's Eve party in Times Square is all for her— probably booted Rihanna or some other fly-by-night musical act off the stage to demand all the attention. Such self fixation! Anyway, this picture was completed on Christmas day, so I guess holiday indifference has come around full circle!
