Icefish paintings
Acrylic paintings of Antarctic icefish.
Thanks for visiting my website. Here, I display a number of my projects, as well as offering for purchase some of my output.
During my transit on the RV Polarstern to my working environment I am working on completing a series of poster / postcard designs based on Ursula K. Le Guin's 'Hainish Cycle' of stories. I have previously illustrated the cover of 'The Word for World is Forest' for Gollancz-Orion, and I have reworked that for the poster design below. I have also just completed a design based on 'Rocannon's World' - The first book in the Hainish Cycle and Le Guin's first published novel. A great book it is too! I will try to produce a set, together with 'Urras/Anarres' from 'The Dispossessed' which i recently completed, and designs based on the remaining books... Whether I also attend to the short stories, I am not yet sure...
I am on my way to Antarctica as part of the PS152 expedition. Before setting off I had the chance to explore a bit of Namibia. Here above is a sketch I made of the unusually long lived (more than 1000 years) Welwitschia Mirabilis plant. This odd thing lives slowwwwly in the Namib Desert.
I am about to go to sea for a few months, and will therefore be shutting my shop until I return... Order before midnight (UTC) on 12th Dec if you would like anything before Christmas! I will be taking seafloor images on the PS152 expedition!
Here is my 'Fantastic Travel Destinations' poster based on this fantastic book! If you would like a print, please email me on autunpurser@hotmail.com and i will see what I can do...
I have designed a print based on the fantastic book 'The Course of the Heart' by M. John Harrison. The odd flower maiden from the Coeur / Pleroma is here pictured in front of Morvah , Cornwall, as she is in this most magical of weird fiction books.
I have printed (A3) and framed and signed edition of 10 of these - as shown here, with Nyarlathotep and a Playmobil cultist provided for scale...
