Steel Fields

This is an early Blue Sky image that was an attempt to illustrate a more extreme type of environment we could traverse. in October of 2001 I visited the aftermath of the World Trade Center, about a month or so after the attack. I was 12 at the time, so walking 20 blocks to get to ground zero of the site was a slow way of easing into what we would then see. That experience has been a huge defining moment in my life, and I've always felt like there was something therapeutic for me when it came to illustrating nature reclaiming the ruins of our world.
