The Drunken Boat
The title is borrowed from Arthur Rimbaud but the painting’s loosely inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean (amongst many other sources). These musicians are pretty daring but they’re filled with grace, trust and passion and above all they do enjoy a tough ride from time to time, so the Sea is pleased and smiles at them. The Sea takes care of them. Because you have to admit… they’re a bit foolish. But foolish in the Jungian sense of the term. The Fool is the one archetype that fascinates me the most. He restores lost spontaneity, and is the absolute best guide when one’s in the process of losing one’s soul.
Meanwhile the girls are daydreaming. There’s a time for action and another for contemplation.

Here is another steampunk device which comes without a manual. This one’s inspired by Alex CF’s awesome works.

A track I listened to in a loop while painting this:
The Garden
This was a bit tricky composition-wise but I really enjoyed doing this. All these details took a huge amount of time. I really like compositions where the eye can travel here and there, leisurely. Everything is provided, a cruise boat, a resting place in the gazebo, birds songs and enough mystery to keep you enchanted.
