32" x 49" Acrylic on Board; Basic Frame

Holding aloft a scepter of the moon a mystic being rides forth from a world of euclidean light into a realm of darkness. Though the being is largely blinded by his helmet he trusts in the one-eyed creature of chaos that serves as mount; a creature who in turn follows the light emitted by the spirit emerging from its brain. Combine The Fool of the Tarot with the Magician and one can glimpse some aspect of the meaning behind the imagery at hand.

Reverse: A quick sketch for a future painting. A megalithic monument containing the cosmos hangs over the cold and lonely city.
