Fox Peas, Yapping Guardians of The Dark Crater

 
The elusive Fox Pea Vine can be found deep inside the dark lush forests of the Stickney crater located on the surface of Phobos, one of two moons orbiting Mars.  Of all the craters dotting the landscape of desolate and cold Phobos, only the Stickney contains life.  At this time, it is unknown why this particular crater holds life while others do not, but astrobiologists theorize it's because the Stickney crater lies near a mysterious monolith (once spotted by astronaut Buzz Aldrin) that beams a certain frequency necessary for the creation of life.  Why do you think so many of humankind's attempts at Mars exploration has failed? Because the Fox Peas chased them away. Medium: Watercolor and colored pencil on paper.

Three Kings in a City Park

One day after work, I headed toward the Union Square area of San Francisco for a little prime people watching.  A large park with a cafe, art shows, free outdoor concerts and plenty of seating areas to hang out, Union Square attracts a wide variety of people.  You can be sure to spot a diversity of international tourists, exchange students, street preachers, homeless people, crazy drunks, well-dressed office workers, elderly twins, and annoying hipsters all congregating and watching each other pass by. On this particular day, I spotted 3 interesting looking men sitting in close proximity of each other. They all had faces etched with stories to tell and yet each sat in silence as though not aware of the other.  I was aware of them though.  They needed to be documented, so I went to work.  Medium:  Ink in moleskine, digital paint.
