Dragon Slayer

An earlier piece from my 2010 collection. My focus was less on artistry and more on storytelling.
In this image, my goal was to illustrate the boundless imagination of a young boy.

I got the idea watching my friends children playing the "floor is LAVA!" game. It was in watching the children play that I realized how to make the merge of real and fantastical in my illustration. Everything the boy "touched' would be real, and everything else would meld away into a fantasy world.

Although my focus wasn't actually technical artistry, the end result is one which I enjoy more than other more technically challenging pieces.
