Phantom Satellite

Like “Sketch #1″, this is a piece that was lost in the Great Blog Erasure of 2010. It, too, is an earlier effort. I barely had Sonar out of the box with this one but it seems like it turned out pretty cool.

The inspiration for “Phantom Satellite” was a story that a friend and I have been kicking back and forth for a while. It involves a massive, invisible structure orbiting the Earth and occasionally coming into view for certain unfortunate souls. The intent of this piece was to paint the moment when this thing appears in the sky.

Now, as much as I love that visual, someone once offered an even better one. After listening to it without the benefit of my little back story they said it sounded to them like being shot into space inside a coffin. I don’t think anything could have made me happier.
