Regret

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

A digital pen & ink drawing showing a sleeping man connected to abstract machinery, and behind him a long spiral spaceship stretching into the distance, surrounded by nautiluses. Above the ship, there's a woman drawn in the same pose as Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, with a strand of DNA behind her. The far background is an image of a galaxy.

This is my favourite illustration from Aegeon 5, for a far-future science fiction short story called ‘Regret’. If you agree, why don’t you take a peek at the appropriate shop page.

I’m Not Sure Albrecht Dürer Would Approve

Digital, Illustration / Michael

A digital ink illustration showing archangel St. Michael with the head of a Rooster, fighting a dragon. — Today I finished the illustration I intend to use for my ads in Aegeon. It’s an homage to Abrecht Dürer’s “St. Michael Fighting the Dragon”, but I’ve put a rooster’s head on the saint (my surname means Rooster in Italian) and extended / changed the creature’s tail.

The Map of Heaven

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

A pen & ink surrealist image showing da Vinci's Vitruvian man from the front and behind with a superimposed whaling harpoon. In the middle, there's an inverted pyramid with a human eye at its base, above a muscle car. In the background, there's a geodesic dome, and behind it, the Arizona desert. — The first illustration in what is hopefully going to be a long collaboration with the Aegeon publication. This one is for the short story “The Map of Heaven” by Jason Lupus appearing in Aegeon #3. Drawn in about 24 hours in ProCreate on an iPad Pro M1. The final version in the book has a slightly modified layout. Several products featuring this illustration can be found in the shop.
