I colored it. I tweaked it. I took Photoshop and made something new.
I can see the influence of all those artists I check out in Juxtapoz creeping in. The style of the ooze tells me so.
I drew the original with an overriding sense of feeling behind it; It wasn’t done with me so it’s still riding.
Prints of this one are for sale, 15 bucks each, 8 x 10.

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.
