Vivarium Voyager by Adam S Doyle

Part of Light Grey Art Lab’s World Roulette show.

New painting Vivarium Voyager. Created over the summer for Light Grey Art Lab’s World Roulette show 🌟

My four random prompts were: high humidity, advanced prosthetics, ghosts, in the new scientific age✨

The once beautiful and lush land was no more. The words of worst case scenarios went unheeded. Hubris has a history of repeating itself. Young Tyrell had enjoyed school before it ended. He’d taken to making terrariums to foster plants, in jars larger on the inside based upon principles of the Tardis. His mother was duly impressed. She had been a pioneering roboticist and she was ready. Together they fashioned a means of traversing the cataclysm.

The La’uña

My piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s show WORLD ROULETTE. 

LGAL also has a Kickstarter for the World Roulette book! The show and book are packed with incredible illustrations and it’s an honor be a part of this collection.

Have you seen all of the super cool rewards on the World Roulette Kickstarter? Here are two of four enamel pin designs available in a variety of tiers!! Magic? Mysticism? Treasure? Secrets? We like all of these things. The "Four Realms" enamel pins showcase themes from the World Roulette book in stylish, pin form. Stick it on your bag and show your allegiance to the realm of your choice. The “Age of Darkness” and “Age of Magic and Mayhem” pins feature gold plating with white enamel and backing card designs that correspond with their realms.
