miles in the sky.






i'm not always quite sure where some of these originate, but this one was inspired by one of my favorite albums, miles davis' 'miles in the sky'.

It has a quality of revelation or vision, made me think of Exekiel seeing a wheel within a wheel in the sky (I'm not religious, just have always liked that description).

excellent piece again, donny...you certainly did the album justice.
glad to see a new post from you-sounds like you're having a great summer!

Impressive! Many layers to interpret. I love the addition of the lit TNT flare.

Geeezzz Donny, how DO you do it?! Every design is inspired. I think this is a great homage to the album...love that flare on the tightrope and the depth of this piece..way to go! Funny you mention it, but this week's piece for me was like yours...didn't know where it was going until it ended up as it did. I like when that happens! Keep up the awesome work!! : )

I am just as blown away with your awesome brand of creativity and energy. Honestly, Donny, all joking aside for a second. You bring such strength and creativity with each piece you do. You are an amazing designer and illustrator. I am always left in awe at your style and original concepts. You are truly masterful at what you do. Miles would be so proud. Hope that you are enjoying every bit of these last days of summer. I can't believe it's time to go back to school seems all to short. Hope that you are doing well and It's always GOOD to hear from you my friend. Thanks for taking time to come and visit me. I so look forward to it and appreciate as well.
Hugs

at first I just looked at it, and was perhaps even momentarily pleasantly taken aback... there are so many meanings one can take out from this piece... I like "Miles" a lot :)
