I could draw extremely well at 15, but it's taken me 44 more years to learn how to paint. My teachers were every other artist.

In the olden days, long before AI, was an ancient technology called Photoshop. And long before that was something called a pencil. The ground here is a pencil drawing, coloured in PS. And the balloon? Arial photography before drones.

2 pre-exhibition sales yesterday.
CubeBIOME starts Nov 8 @ Cusack & Cusack Gallery, Kyneton, 4pm.
These paintings are heavily game-world inspired, yet draw on the aesthetics of the 19th century.

CubeBiome/YellowFactory.
Oil on canvas.
The CubeBiome series is the feeling of the strange, expansive, colourful, free but constrained world of gaming. It might be polished, brutal, or nonsense. No meaning. But always alive.

The CubeBiome series is inspired by gaming, but also draws on hundreds of years of painting history. Sometimes graphic & contemporary in feel, but sometimes being lost in all the joy & richness of nature, beauty and lush aesthetics. Often, hopefully, combining it all. Because game creation is art.

CubeBiome #30. Paradox of choice. Oil on board. 6 more to go.

The Cube Biome series is where Rembrandt's palett, UI and execution paths intersect. With glazes. IF colour is > TRUE, = enjoy. Wander through sunset trees with endless branching, press E and watch the rain fall up.

CubeBiome series.
Oil on board.
29 finished, 4 or 5 more, exhibition in a few months.
Where game worlds meet old master techniques & rich paint. These paintings sparkle like strange playful electric jewels.

Cube Biome #25. Oil on board.
This series is *loosely* based on game environments and cubes. So loose, there isn't even a cube in this one. But there IS a health bar. Where game worlds meet texture, oil, & master techniques.

Apart from a new mining and crafting system which I will show very soon, I've just added a night sky & different clouds. I want to be there.

Don't look for meaning! Why would you want to spoil a perfectly enjoyable experience with tawdry meaning? Stop it!

This is a VR gallery I've made in UE. It features my own paintings. (and a few AI animations)
A few NPCs wander and chat in the gallery, going from painting to painting.

You appear to be trying to rationalise with irrational people. Would you like help with that or would you like to bang your head on a table a little longer?
