Oil on shale. This painting is currently featured on my blog, The Flying Trilobite as the banner for 2008. Trilobites have fascinated me since I was a child. During my university years, they began creeping into my artwork again, occasionally with bat, dragonfly or butterfly wings. One of the things about artmaking that compels me, is that as human beings we have a tremendous capacity for imagining things that never were, and may never be. This is a beautiful gift (so long as we don’t confuse imagination with reality!), and digging deep into Earth’s prehistoric past fires up my imagination… ...And out come trilobites with faulty anatomy. One last note: painting on shale is not fit for expensive brushes. You can see more paintings on shale at The Flying Trilobite .

© 2009 RC deWinter ~ All Rights Reserved ~~ The classic film “The Wolf Man”, released in 1941 with Lon Chaney Jr. as the title character, is generally regarded as the seminal inspiration for all of the horror genre’s werewolf films. However, in 1935 Universal Studios released “Werewolf of London”, featuring Henry Hull as Dr. Wilfred Glendon, a botanist in search of the rare and mysterious ‘maraphasa lupina lumina’, which grows only in remote regions of Tibet and blooms only in the light of the full moon. Here is my fantasy version the maraphasa in Dr. Glendon’s London laboratory. See the film for the rest of the backstory.

Gift from god? I don't think so.
by Glendon Mellow_(This originally appeared at my blog, The Flying Trilobite...
(This originally appeared at my blog, The Flying Trilobite on Sat. 23 May 2009. You may comment there as well.) - – - – - It happens to artists. Surgeons. When someone marvels at the eye, or bacterial flagellum. “Your art ability is amazing. A gift from God, no doubt.” sigh Just because something is hard to understand, just because complicated processes occurred that you did not witness, does not mean it was caused by a benevolent mythical being who hands out aptitudes like Santa with presents. It has been a source of fascination to me, and not a little frustration that the ability to create art and the complexity of biological features each sit in the blind spots of members of the devout populace. Like a gift from god. It’s throwing your hands up in the air and casually (lazily) admitting ignorance. I get it: it’s supposed to be a compliment. But it actually insults me, though I usually reserve my cringing to myself. I have worked really hard to get where I am in my artistic ability, and I still reach and try to learn. There was no magic “poof” granted to me as a child that allowed me to render a decent life drawing or balance colours in a composition. That was studying. That was attempts at keen observation. That was making countless mistakes I attempted to learn from. Feedback. Crits and criticisms. Learning from indifference. Trying new materials. Replicating happy accidents. Sharing techniques. If this happens to you, encourage a bit of reasoning. I don’t like being a jerk. Somehow, any response I can think of seems like a rebuke. “Those years of school I paid for were earned. Not a gift. ” (Those heart-wrenching hours when you push a painting too far and ruin a perfectly good life drawing don’t feel like gifts either.) How does one say it? How do you lead a person to reason? How do you encourage them to pull the holy book out of their mouth before they speak? -Glendon Mellow / The Flying Trilobite / Art in Awe of Science

Oil on canvas, 2009. Sometimes as an artist, I get an image full-blown in my mind; that was the case here. Composition, lighting, hues. I needed some details for the biplanes. So I did a bit of online poking, and found the story of a true Canadian adventurer, perfect to add to my concept painting. Major William George “Billy” Barker was a World War 1 flying ace and Victoria Cross recipient who flew Sopwith Camels against German Fokkers. Although I could not find any information indicating he fought against the infamous Red Baron, Manfred Von Richtofen, I thought these two ace pilots would heighten the drama in this alternate history. Of course, Major Billy Barker has a trick up those RAF sleeves: his fighting pterosaur squadron, made up of Quetzalcoatlus northropi. Links and more here . (Currently not available as a print, until it dries and gets a proper scan – let me know if you’d like to see a print available!)
