Burning Bright Painter November 2008
Originally created for a contest at Pixelbrush.net, this image is a reimagining of Jean Leon Gerome's classic painting "The Pelt Merchant of Cairo".
The idea behind the contest was to take a painting by one of the Old Masters and reinterpret it. I did not win... but I may have reinterpreted TOO much. This still remains one of my favorite paintings.
