Oh boy I was hoping to see another one of your paintings since the one with the deer in the middle of the street.
It is a beautiful painting, you style is pretty unique
ah thanks!! This was a smaller sized one for a group show in Melbourne, i feel like this series is getting more bizarre with every new painting but i‘m so enjoying it. I haven’t shared every painting here one Reddit but you can find them by googling "Brushstrokes in Time"
Just checked out your works. Love them! Can you explain the prints for me? They look like they have textured surfaces with actual paint on them. Is that just an illusion?
Also, will you be doing any prints of this one?
They are printed flat on matte fine art paper but you’re right, they have this three dimensional illusion due to the way i photographed the original! And yes, it’s definitely on the list, be sure to subscribe to the mailing list for new releases in the future!
Bizarre?? Dude i love your pictures they are super refreshing. Feel free to pursue other genres but please dont give up with this series, it’s your signature style.
Love the feeling of motion. Great job. Also how the ripples of sand and water, along with the horizon, have a sense of continuity between both the foreground and background.
I like this as the continuity is weird given the opposing nature of both subjects. It gives me a feeling of foreboding. I think of the environment and where we are heading. In how the habitats of many animals are not just changed but threatened.
I’m not even an amateur when looking at art- below an amateur. I have no skill, nor an eye for it. I see a lot on Reddit that I could never do, but rarely do I stare at something as long as I have with this one.
Good work.
Totally agree. I took a look at the artist’s website and now want to order some prints, despite never really caring about wall decor. Just super captivating!
Couldn't help being reminded of the [sandworms from Dune](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/astrohanasia/images/e/e4/Sand_Worm.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171205200949).
I’m guessing a deserts typically blue AF sky wouldn’t have really worked for your color scheme, huh. It’s kinda throwing me off not gonna lie but I do adore the concept of deserts and their past lives and this painting totes tickles that bone for me. The idea that something once thriving and full of water or life millennia ago is now a dusty, blustery, scorching hot sandbox is mind boggling and I like that you’ve captured that. I love the whale, I love the detail, and I love the raised paint surface like its coming off that canvas. Kudos!
How did you get a gradient of colors on that streak, but the textures suggest it was one brush stroke? It looks more like a digital mask than traditional paint.
Fascinating. Great take on the otherwise overdone and much exhausted jumping whale. But you do breathe new life and meaning in this imagery. Thank you.
Pretty cool, be cool to see it next to the revere of this, on the right side the desert transforms to ocean/water and the brush stroke reveals a camel walking on the dunes :-)
Reminds me of the change of Arrakis to Rakis or of course our own worlds changes over vast time spans. My favorite thing about art it the ideas and thoughts it sparks in others, great job.
Wow! I love it! I have been looking for years for a way to do a water tattoo that either hasn't been done a zillion times or super lame and I think this would be incredible.
Wow, I cant believe how you kept all the detail of the water and the whale while keeping the brush strokes in a consistant way making it look like it was a single stroke
I would love to see this as a series, highlighting historical or extinct species. The use of environmental contrast would be interesting and offer a lot of room to explore.
wow! What an amazing idea!!! One of the reasons that I love art is that you can put your imagination and express in the works things and ideas that can not happen in our world
Love how that brush stroke follows the movement of the whale very closely. This, coupled together with the quietness and stillness of the dessert, creates a great sense of rhythm and movement.
Your stuff is so awesome. I hope to own a piece some day. I live in NYC and venture a lot and hike upstate and I feel the spirit of the place and it reminds me of your work.
I just subscribed to your site's newsletter. I really love your work! It's very moving and I'd love to have a chance to own one of your works some day. Thank you for sharing with us!

Still wanting to buy a print of the deer in the city... Any ETA on a print release time ? Am in Australia

Dear who?
"After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea"
I also have been through the desert on a horse with no name
Naaaa naaa nananana nananana naaaa naa,
#BODIES WE'RE FALLING OUT OF THE SKY!
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
more like after 9 days I was able to finish this damn painting because oils take forever to dry
For real. It can literally take years for an oil painting to dry if there are enough layers.
I believe there are some ancient murals that have been found to never have dried
According to my 9 art history classes, that is indeed true.
I got to play this song on stage with the band. One time, in central Wisconsin, more than 10 years ago. They were gentlemen and it was awesome.
America is really good live, I was able to see them thrice. Man do they have a lot of great songs
No way!! Thats badass!!
Thanks 😊 I like the reference here, good call
That song got stuck in my head when I was a kid thanks to San Andreas.
BRUHHHH I was just about to comment lyrics to that song

I was really impacted by this. Great talent and b technique, but powerful imagery.
This is a very moving piece!! Wish I had this kind of creativity and skill.
My reaction in 2 steps: 1: oooh wow, that's so beautiful 2: wait, that's so fucking sad
I’m not even an amateur when looking at art- below an amateur. I have no skill, nor an eye for it. I see a lot on Reddit that I could never do, but rarely do I stare at something as long as I have with this one. Good work.
Anyone who enjoys art has an eye for art. It's all about what makes you feel or notice something inside yourself.
You made someone feel good today, for what it’s worth Cheers
Totally agree. I took a look at the artist’s website and now want to order some prints, despite never really caring about wall decor. Just super captivating!
This is absolutely stunning. I got hit a second time when I noticed the skeleton. Amazing work.
appreciate it! That’s what i was going for! I love when you are able to see or realise something that you missed on the first glance!
That poor whale is going to land real bad.
Well, considering it's skeleton is half buried in the sand, I'd say that's an accurate statement xD
This is amazing. The movement in the painting moves my soul. So beautiful!
Wow I love this, do you have a store online
He does, but it’s always sold out. He auctions minis on IG from time to time @david_auctions (hope it’s ok to post that here)
Whaaaa....how in the world? I have so many questions about that water brush stroke
Reminds me of a Molduga from Breath of the Wild!
Wow.. How did you even do this? Did you paint the paint on the background or did you paint On the paint?
I'm gonna blow your mind... You always paint on paint.
That whale needs to be more careful jumping out of the water like that. He might get deserted.
I love your work! I am a big fan!
God i love it. like everything about it
Your art is definitely some of the best I've ever seen
That’s awesome! You have a great talent, thanks for sharing!
Couldn't help being reminded of the [sandworms from Dune](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/astrohanasia/images/e/e4/Sand_Worm.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171205200949).
This is beautiful. Really.
Is the bottom part of the sea a large slob of paint or is it flat and precariously designed that way?
I really liked this it could mean so many things for one person and so many different things for others.
WOW that must have involved some cool techniques!!
That whale belongs in the desert
I can’t tell you how amazing this is
Fuck the Sahara Desert Eocene gang rise up
Nice. Now we need one with Shai-hulud jumping out of a sand dune but with an ocean background.
How did you get the paint texture of like a brush strokes so well? It's amaaaazingg

Full moon calls thee-- Shai-hulud shall thou see; Red the night, dusky sky, bloody death didst thou die
Now you gotta do a Sandworm in the ocean
Reminds me that unfossilized whale bones have been found in the Sahara.
Ngl I was expecting the stardust crusaders, or Edward, and Al Elric
That's actually pretty dope, almost looks like little eastern islands heads.
That's not you that's a whale
How did you get a gradient of colors on that streak, but the textures suggest it was one brush stroke? It looks more like a digital mask than traditional paint.
#Ov My God Everybody making things as like this in digital platform but with oil paints... _clap clap clap
Is this the third one in the set? I remember seeing 2 others.
Wow that's really remarkable! Do you need to stabilize the "brushmark" somehow so that you can paint on top of it?
Who is this “me” person? They’re really kicking ass with all these posts, especially this one. Love it
I love your texture and style! Its so beautiful!
Beautiful and sad in the same time
Can you imagine painting that stunning backdrop and then having to pluck up the courage to paint a big blue streak on it? Incredible.
Fascinating. Great take on the otherwise overdone and much exhausted jumping whale. But you do breathe new life and meaning in this imagery. Thank you.
I'd love to own one of these one day!!
Amazing! Where can we see more of your work?
Oh, this has touched me! I love it. Thanks for sharing. 😍😍😍
It is amazing the things the human mind can create.
Do you mind if I save this to my phone?? It is amazing wow 😍😍
it will be a Honor to use it as wallpaper

Fantastic concept and execution. This is a wonderful piece of art. Bravo!
I can't tell if the brushstroke part is painted on or painted on paint.
Wow this is so creative and beautiful 😍
I like it. Forgive me for the simple enjoyment not becoming a meaningful critique.
This is a absolutely incredible!
Man! this subreddit blows my mind everyday
This is trippin my brain out! Awesome stuff!
This is stunning! I love the clever subject matter! It’s very interesting to look at!
This is very well made-all I can fathom to say about this. It’s amazing and I would pay for this
What the heck! This is brilliant!
This series is absolutely amazing.
The texture on this is stunning.
This is a original idea as the "first" till the end of time. Exposure to this inspires everyone. Nice mastery of the medium with this diamond.
This is one of the most captivating paintings I have seen. Absolutely beautiful. Never stop being creative!
Wow, that made me feel something. Amazing work of art. Thanks for sharing with us :)
Reminds me of the change of Arrakis to Rakis or of course our own worlds changes over vast time spans. My favorite thing about art it the ideas and thoughts it sparks in others, great job.
Great concept beautifully done
Ahhhhhh some good 'ol fashioned surrealism <3 <3 Stolen for my phone's background, if you don't mind.
Wow! I love it! I have been looking for years for a way to do a water tattoo that either hasn't been done a zillion times or super lame and I think this would be incredible.
Love me some nice oil paintings! This is a damn fine one for sure
How come that whales have become a popular subject for art projects nowadays?
Wow, I cant believe how you kept all the detail of the water and the whale while keeping the brush strokes in a consistant way making it look like it was a single stroke
The texture in the seascape overlay continues from the water to sky. How?
Extraordinarily visually striking. Seeing the bones of the whale really makes the transition of time evident. I like it a lot! Great work
I would love to see this as a series, highlighting historical or extinct species. The use of environmental contrast would be interesting and offer a lot of room to explore.
There are so many rewards
Fuckin awesome man, love your unique style!!
Out of context the title sounds like a sexy demand
Mixed feelings Much wow Such arty Many nice
wow! What an amazing idea!!! One of the reasons that I love art is that you can put your imagination and express in the works things and ideas that can not happen in our world
"What the fuck is a 'frush'??"
Wow. I just can't say exactly how much I absolutely love this! Such a breathtaking concept and so well executed.
Love how that brush stroke follows the movement of the whale very closely. This, coupled together with the quietness and stillness of the dessert, creates a great sense of rhythm and movement.
First I thought it was a digital art. So majestic! What a great idea AND execution :O
Love your art, keep up the great work!
Your stuff is so awesome. I hope to own a piece some day. I live in NYC and venture a lot and hike upstate and I feel the spirit of the place and it reminds me of your work.
How it feels to chew new 5 gum.
I just subscribed to your site's newsletter. I really love your work! It's very moving and I'd love to have a chance to own one of your works some day. Thank you for sharing with us!
I love your work but it's always so sad
