Great theme for a series, 'back in black,' either in a virtual gallery or in the world, Alec. I can see these pieces hanging together either way. And 'The Emperors Shield' nicely evokes cultures of earlier times in it's subject matter & design..with a modern electric/plastic execution. Like, brilliant!

I like this and have my own interpretation, which is the beauty of abstracts. In any case, beautifully done! v/

Cool, colourful and well-designed. Although inspired by romans, I get a strong oriental vibe from the composition! V/F!

Dean, you have a great eye and I found myself in the same place once the work was complete. Sometimes we start in one direction and the result surprises. Thank you for the ongoing input and support...it means a lot.
