The Cosmic Shroud

This is The Cosmic Shroud. I created him for Rotopol's Super Villains exhibit opening November 25 in Kassel, Germany. There are tons of really excellent artists taking part including Hellen Jo and Victo Ngai. This was a lot of fun, and I was so happy to be invited to take part. I wish I could be at the opening! Check out Rotopol's site here for more details.

Here's my little backstory on the Shroud (warning - real nerdy):

The Cosmic Shroud burst from the shadow of a lunar eclipse, and roams the galaxy compressing matter into singularities for absorption. It hunts anything from space-traveling heroes, to satellites and space stations. It must encircle its victims with its shroud in order to compress them however, so the larger the target, the longer it takes the Cosmic Shroud to unfurl and bind. If you're quick enough, you can escape it, but as yet nothing has successfully defeated this villain. Missiles and beams alike pass through it, and it can't be contained any more than a shadow can. If spotted, avoid at all costs.

hello! i'm a new follower of your lovely work. i noticed that you illustrate/paint using gouache but do you also work digitally? i find it hard to tell, even your illustration for meg hunt's art for japan could have passed for a digital piece with all the neat brushes out there. and i thought that your recent post might be digital but i'm not too sure anymore hehe. either way, i very much admire your work. it's truly inspirational.

Hello! I love new followers (just love you guys!), and thanks very much! Yes, you were on the right track, my most recent post is all digital. I work both with gouache and digitally pretty evenly most of the time, though if the frequency were to lean towards one or the other it would be digital actually. It's neat to know that that's not terribly apparent!
