Sometimes I take sketches into Photoshop to see what comes of it. I did this awhile ago, for Bag Lunch. It never made it into the site, but ideas are patient; they come out when things are ready.
So this here image – I was into this eighties spray paint aesthetic, which seems to be having a continual resurgence on the fringes of popular culture. Below is the original sketch.

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.
