Alien Ice
Detail of Dream Lake, January 2006

Found this lurking in my archives ... probably not going to make the website cut, but way too bizarre to not see the light of day.

Need an album cover Mr. Alien Abduction guitar dude? :smile:

Ha im too fast for you, first view and first post :biggrin:
Well, cd number 3 is coming out shortly, and i already did the photo art for it, but ill keep you in mind for cd #4 :cool:
I really like this, BTW, but i would definitely add some psychedelic colors to it :wink:

I really like this, Jesse. How bout a version with that cool blue toning you've been doing lately?

This is cool, add some psychedelic colours and this could be an album cover for sure :wink: .

This is so cool! Between you and Stan, I don't know which "Iceman cometh" first. You have such a great eye for patterns in ice. This one is no exception. I like the tree refelctions in that one facet. I agree you should apply your special talent for toning on this one, too. Would this be considered cubism?

Very cool! And I love the reflections on the right.

Beautiful shot, Jesse. It really looks like alien. :smile:

Very wild man! I could see the blue toing and mabe some reds poking through too. Verry cool Jesse.

Jesse you should consider putting this on your site, you never know, someone might want this in a 50" x 50" canvas. Stranger things have happened!!!

What an eye you have! Looks like something from a distorted carnival mirror!
With some blue, violet, and red intertwining splotches of color, it would be a great CD cover.

This is pretty cool Jesse. If this was the 70's, I would be gazing at this for hours......

I think it's an alien clown with a bowtie.

Well, it certainly has that "rorschach" appeal. Thanks for commenting everyone.

Here's a similar color comp, for reference.

The second one reminds me of Mercury or maybe the newer version of the terminator and he is putting himself back together! Very cool image.
