The Nest

The Nest is done... and this time I believe I am happy with the result. Sometimes revisiting old projects that failed is a good thing.  Thanks for stopping by.

The Nest... a new visual from an old concept

I have attempted to do a version of this imagery years ago with little to no success. I believe I have grown enough as an artist to attempt it again. I will be posting work in progress shots periodically as I progress through this work.  Thanks for stopping by.
