Don’t ask where this idea came from :-) Sometimes I get really worried when I see some of the stuff that comes out when I give it free float he he
The idea for this picture came from the Chesstown project I am doodling on every now and then. / It was first sketched with pencil and paper,and then scanned. / I played around with this design for days before I was satisfied. / And I didn’t really get there before I decided to use the sketch of an old ship I did long time ago. The sketch was applied without further refinement (read: inking ore /and color), so it’s just the old sketch really. / I used both Photoshop and Illustrator to get what I was after here on this one. / The motive has been for sale as posters and cards for a while, and now I introduce the tee. Go wild…....POS
Feel the game!
The White King / Artist: Scott Robinson / Biography: Danny The White King’s Story The king had surrounded himself all his long life with men of power, spirituality and ambition building a Kingdom over the millennia to rival all those that surrounded his borders. / With the help of a fallen Angel whom he had tricked into servitude he has built and commissioned the University of the Gear, to create new and wonderful machinery and search the murky waters of mysticism to create weapons and soldiers. His beautiful and young wife picked for her ability to survive rather than love, had proved to be a winning hand and it was she who ran the royal house with an iron fist. With this choice, the King had opened up a Pandora’s box of intrigue and ambition that would play in the background without his knowledge. The King also knew his limitations, all his life he had built up this vast society that placed him at its apex, but in reality he was a hollow man with no real talent. He was not a great general; even a soldier and his faith, even in old age could be considered heretical. For the truth hid a different story. The King himself was a fallen Angel expelled from Heaven because of pride. The white king had never learnt his lesson and over thousands of years had hidden the truth of his origins and taken over the whole kingdom. But as the bitterness and years ate away at him his thoughts had moved onto more perverse spiritual matters. The King had been building up an unstoppable army for centuries and knew how to apply for challenging rights to the battlefield of the Ancients. By nominating for the Cosmic battlefield he could prove once and for all that his God had made a mistake and would welcome him back through the gates of Heaven. / All he could do was watch and wait for the game to play out. / That game was his life and that of all those he ruled.

I’m no good at chess but I do love it for its characters. So loaded with gender and symbolism that it’s ripe for emotional depiction. I changed this from the original as the design printed too small. / The original design can be seen in my art section. / This design works much better on the Tee space.
Apparently he was waiting for someone to play chess with him
Capturing my oldest boy playing chess against my dad, his grandad during the week. This is also a follow on from ‘chess master’. Do you think he is stressed or just thinking.. Maybe a bit of both.
