Desktop - 1280x1024. To quote Isaac Asimov: The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny...' Seriously though, humans will never be one with nature ever again - because our ultimate goal as a species is to master our fate. Also, most of the recent discoveries of this century have revealed that nature 'does it best'. So instead, we'll probably try to master nature to achieve that; but no one should try until we've mastered our desires -- so that we don't create anything out of greed.

My so called masterpiece. This was done as a full poster for the only Anthrocon I attended. I've worked to outdo this piece ever since. Whether I have or not seems to be a matter of opinion.

scapegoat by pseudomanitou

A scapegoat was an animal that was driven off into the forest during Yom Kippur ceremonies. Today, the word refers to individuals who are blamed for society's problems, usually as a way of distracting attention from the real causes of those problems. The amusing thing is, making a person a scapegoat - means creating a false legend: making them an enemy without any real understanding of who the enemy is. -- For the scapegoat, this situation, this misunderstanding - can be an ideal...

PM Inari-nine by pseudomanitou

Inari©her creator. Rather then illustrate one fox with nine tails- I figured, why not illustrate nine foxes forming a similar visual effect, a "visual metaphor". Font used is called "Mothera"- a truly fun combination of oriental characters grouped to form something similar to english letter forms.

Inari©HerCreator. First, art nouveau trade picture I ever did. This image still stands as one of my best art nouveau-style cloth designs, despite five years of trying to out-do it. The wings in the background are just clip art: a trick with placing BMP images into Adobe Illustrator designs that I've been experimenting with for a while now.
