A tangle of streets beyond count, the city’s arteries are clogged with work-gangs of souls and demons of every description. Leaving Adamantinarx – (unpublished – acrylic on Gessoboard) – Caravans of all description cross the hostile Wastes, braving Abyssals, Salamandrine Men and marauding demons from enemy realms. Unless they are escorted by significant numbers of armed demons they are frequently lost without a trace.

While this painting represents a semi-intelligent individual, there must be countless Abyssals that are mere animals.Not since John Milton’s Paradise Lost have we seen such a vivid and well-informed account of infernal doings. As I had just recently finished GOD’S DEMON and there was a scene involving Demolishers, this painting provided me a rare and serendipitous opportunity to envision a kinetic battle scene in Hell.

Barlowe’s Inferno – (from Barlowe’s Inferno – acrylic on panel) – The unpredictable chaos of Hell is present even in the most advanced of its cities. To me the most difficult part of this painting’s concepting was whether or not to add a question mark after the title. For a very long time now I have been relatively skeptical about the ability of any computer rendering program to emulate the personal handwriting of an artist.Built to commemorate those lost in the War with Heaven it also serves as the headquarters for Dis’ military. Lee attended an art college for one year, but felt she would be better writing her ideas than painting them. So heavy that they need supernatural augmentation to move, they are lumbering, building-crushing tanks capable of chewing their way through soul-bricks and natural stone alike. In 1971, Macmillan published "The Dragon Hoard," another children's book, which was followed by "Animal Castle" and "Princess Hynchatti and Other Stories" in 1972. Dis, like all of its sister cities, suffers from wrenching, deafening upheavals that tear through the city breaking away and sending archi-organic buildings high into the air.
