Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Rampant Lion

This illustration was done for two reasons: 1) as an exercise in metal texture and 2) to prepare myself for some Arthurian illustrations that I have had in the works for some time now.  As part of my research, the shield itself was influenced by a traditional medieval armory collection.





Medium: Prismacolor on Artagain paper
Dated: 1998
Original size: 9"x 12"
Original Art: In the collection of Bob Glass
