"The Beckoning Flesh" was #3 in the "Mythic Beauties Series" by Jay French. Not only is it much darker than most of the other pieces except for the vampiress, "Blood Moon", it is also quite individual in it's style. Most of the fantasy works by Jay are either detailed pencils with digital enhancement, prismacolor pencils, or digital paintings. A few of the erotic art pieces are Photoshop airbrush with heavy ink lines for a "comic-book" pin-up feel."Beckoning Flesh" is the only piece that is a COMPLETE airbrush, to the point of obliterating all the original ink lines.Also available is the original nude version.

"The Archangel Series" is the product of vast amount of research, thought and passion. An attempt to represent these archetypes of warriors and mystery-keepers. They are all detailed pencils, digitally enhanced, and printed in monochromatic color on gold parchment. They include the individual archangel's seals and greek as well as celestial angelic script of the hebrew terms depicted there. These prints include a description sheet which details the individual archangel as well as information on the series.Gabriel is primarily a messenger, though he is also a bearer and teacher of magic, a guide, and, in essence, an assassin. When the armies of Lucifer were to be fought down, Michael was called. When mankind was to be taught a fatal lesson, Gabriel was summoned. Gabriel is also regent of the moon and feminine qualities in men. Close text

The Basics: Gluttony is a pencil sketch that was digitally colored. History: I drew Gluttony for the purpose of the Pandora's Box show at Jerry's Artarama. The theme of the show was gluttony, and I thought I would be all cool and stuff and illustrate a slight twist on the deadly sin. However, when I went to the actual show, I didn't see any paintings that followed the theme, so I ended up being the conventional one. Ah well. It was a good experience. I tend to draw flowers, birds, and babies a lot, so drawing something dark like this was a great challenge. Additionally, I decided to break from my usual nouveau-type inking style in favor of a raw-looking pencil sketch. Yeah, this was a fun one. Meaning: Okay, this one actually does have meaning, in case you were wondering. The main point I'm making is that gluttony for material things is just as bad as food-gluttony, and despite its apparent social acceptability, I think its just as gross. A lot of women have told me that they really like this piece because it speaks to their own self-perception issues. To those ladies, yeah, I know. Me too. Close text

However, his role is not that of a killer, he is the one who gently beckons the soul from the body upon death, kindly greeting and guiding us to the next life. He is usually represented with the "Book of Life & Death" which he monitors constantly, and a golden apple from the tree under the throne of God, which he uses to entice frightened souls out of their physical bonds.

With examination, however, one can see that whereas Michael leads the angelic armies, Metatron is the keeper of all records. Therefore, their jobs differ greatly. Metatron is said to be the keeper of the greatest secrets, and it is usually he who speaks for God. He is best known as the voice of the burning bush which Moses encountered, as well as the pillar of smoke and fire which led the Hebrews out of Egypt. Close text

This is a piece that I worked on for a long time. I finished it about a year ago or so. The detail took a while but I guess that's what I like to do when I'm determined. I am quite fascinated with the octopus. I have learned that they are pretty brilliant and can change color to adapt to any natural surrounding. In captivity they are known to open jars and figure out problems. Sorry to cram ya with facts and such I just think they're pretty cool. This photo really doesn't do justice for the actual piece. Promise. Close text
