“The Atlas Of Dreams” is an ongoing project started in 1999. Each plate is composed of several different images combined to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Source images include historic engravings, NASA photos of space and the Earth’s surface, abstract images, the artwork of my father: Gus Maier, and of course my own artwork – recycled and reused. Watch out for stray butterflies, fish, snakes, and other animals…
“Color Plate 45” was a struggle. I didn’t think it was ever going to work, but I kept playing with it to see where it wanted to go. I’m pretty pleased with the light and airy final version. It combines a photograph from an unknown stock.xchng member with a “splashguard painting” created by my father, Gus Maier.
Digital artist since 1993.

This one is exceptional; very subtle and fluid! I feel like I’m looking at a zinc engraving plate, etched and inked and ready to press. Nice work!
You could be right – I spent several years doing etchings on zinc plates, so that look is buried somewhere in the way I see things. Thanks for the feedback!
