This just came out of me. This little panel in a comic book spoke to me, and out of that inspiration came this. I’m proud of this piece, as it represents the direction I want to go in, and standard I aim to achieve with every piece, if not higher.
‘Torch Song’ print is 20 dollars. Inspired by the style of Alan Davis. I do this a lot, take what I love in the world around me and tweak it to make it mine, so I can speak with it. The original now lives in the Detroit area with a private collector.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis
Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle.
Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
