I'm amazed how much like swamp thing the b&w version of the trillith resembles; the color version on your web site isn't quite as stark, but I think it may capture the "slime effect" better. 
And I'm posting the painting of Velendo and the Damming Stone into my story hour! http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=266507#post266507

Wow!
I'm glad Piratecat added the link to this thread. "Velendo and the Stone" is now my desktop background - a 21st century take on a 19th century, Hudson River School style, it seems to me. I like the pastoral feel very much, and yet the moment is personalized, not a landscape.
And your Velendo above is perfect - just as I imagined him. The look in his eyes is wonderful - a mixture of offering the brick to you and begging you to take it off his hands.
More, please, when you feel inspired!

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
littlejohn — I'm really impressed. Wicked neat stuff, chief.

More more more, please.
I suppose we haven't met--it's just that you captured Velendo so well, I found it hard to beleive you weren't ever in the room with the player, so thought maybe I'd have bumped into you at the Werehouse (P'Cat's and KidC's house) at some point.
On the other hand, I don't live far away--just down in Sunnyvale, so it's not unreasonable to think we could meet, if we wanted to.
Maybe (contact) would be interested in joining us for a night of shmoozing about art? If you feel like driving all the way down our way, I'll host.
(What with the wee one, I don't get out very often--but lots of fun at our house.) (And cookies--did I mention cookies?)
I'll be offline for about a week, but maybe we can set something up when I get back.
Please please more painting/drawing in the meantime.

Thanks for the comments! Here's a few more quick sketches I did over the last few days.
A painted version of the trillith. Though now that I have the old story hour sessions, I'll probably redo him. Maybe he's just a sewer thing:

What abstract painters are you looking at right now, littlejohn? Anyone in particular? One of the strengths of your stuff is the painterly approach, which causes me to approach your work more from a formalistic pov.
What I mean is, to me the wizard painting is more about color, composition, texture and shape than it is about a wizard. The subject matter is really almost incidental.

Actually, Sailia (if that is your *real* name!), I would really enjoy that. If you'd like, I'd been thinking about a trip to the MOMA. You could walk there from the train (or from BART) which is convinient from your house (if that is your *real* house!). I bring it up b/c I've been thinking recently that I need to go.
I don't know how Rebecca (if that is her *real* name!) would do with an art museum, but Helene loves them. Just a thought.

(contact): I haven't been looking at anybody recently. I'm just trying out all of Painter's brushes. Actually, I've been looking at Craig Mullins' stuff recently, though he's not abstract. I like mixing both formal and illustrative painting though I haven't got the balance right.
alsih2o: Thanks a lot. Most of this stuff is digital so it's pretty much free
I'll be sure to let everyone know if my stuff gets published anywhere.
