Blast Off Limited Edition Canvas Print by Simon Stockley

About this print

This is the first artwork that Simon Stockley has released that is a pure digital rendering, an image from a virtual world that can only be physically manifested by being printed from a digital printer. With the dawning of the "Metaverse", this is now more relevant. A juxtaposition of banal suburbia with the fantastic. The retro rocket ship is in period with the art deco building in the foreground. This rocketship belonged to Emperor Ming from the Flash Gordon serials of the 1930s, which were shown on TV in the 1960s. Simon does not use AI in his artwork, instead he uses 3D rendering and digital painting applications which he has specialised in for nearly 30 years.
