Playing Until the End

For the PRS Facebook Crypto contest in June, I decided to do an original image that the winner of the Crypto contest would receive the first autographed print. At first I was going to do some kind of Crypto as the painting, and even was thinking of doing a Japanese ghost, since I had been researching that for a while. In the end, I decided on an image that had been playing around in my head for a while.

Earlier this year I had done a painting of the Archangel Gabriel; which hangs in my office now, and from that came the thought of a sort of modern version of him on this earth. Gabriel soon became a 1920's New Orleans trumpet playing street performer. I put him in nice dress pants, button up shirt, and vest, with a fedora to top it off. From the looks of the painting, he traded his halo for the hat and the chance to play his trumpet all he wants. I will be making prints of this new painting, and then selling them on my blog and possible at the upcoming Field Trip in August at Salem, Mass.

The Winner of the June contest was Nicole Michaud who did a video of an "Investigation" of a Russian Crypto creature. You can check out the video on our facebook page.

Wings of Crimson and Armor of Silver

Wings of Crimson and Armor of Silver
by Eilfie Music

Once was an angel,
A warrior of Heaven.
Who served his lord with sword and shield.
The angel saw a radiance that shinned like a thousand suns,
And yearned to hold this bright burning beacon.
Descending from the heavens with wings of crimson and armor of silver,
Did what no angel had done since the fallen.
For this, the spark was snuffed out, and the warrior was ordered back to the gates of Heaven.
Once was an angel,
A warrior Heaven.
Who serves his Lord with sword and shield.
Who waits to see a radiance that shines like a thousand suns.
