 This or That is . . . Now and Then [Alan G Brooks 2018] ---| implanting of machine forces into humans |--- Man will, in time, manage to implant the death-forces in man, related to electrical and magnetic forces, with external machines. He will then be able to direct his intentions, his thoughts into the machine. ( Rudolf Steiner, Individuelle Geistwesen und einheitlicher Weltengrund, November 25, 1917, Dornach "Monskeeto" - Mosquito / Monsanto Alan G Brooks 

 Music - Art - Illustration I have put up some more pieces on my website that are sci fi and music themed.  I am settling in to work again after settling in to the new house. I am taking commissions again in music, sci fi and fantasy related art - cover art, logo design - the works. Back in the saddle is - [I guess] - what I'm saying - so Onwards and Upwards and back to it. See you there - gallery  Alan G Brooks Design

 For all those in Lockdown - caged - chained and despairing . . . . . Prayer 300 Way Out I did the picture above around 1999, 1998 even. It shows a man in a stone circle - in reverence - who at the same time has yet to understand that he is not only encircled by these stones but at the same time enslaved by them.  Just before he is to awaken to the fact that he is imprisoned by that which he is in awe of, his attention will be taken by the cross which is starting to appear before him. The cross is within a crystal encasement, but will be revealed fully to the man as soon as he gives his attention to it.  For the hard of hearing it is well worth remembering to harken unto the words of the book of Malachi [4:5] where it is explained in the last words of the Old Testament -  Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: and [4:6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the ch...

Drawing of guitarist Steve Vai. 2015.

I did quite a few pieces for Steve at that period in time. Concert posters, promo art, Passes and Tee's. Check out Alan Brooks Design. Blues for Dust Art Alan G Brooks Design

 Pearl of the Cobra Pilot / Navigator #1 / Page art Flying Ship Operatives - storyboard / animation design Title Card Page art - a retro sci fi noir adventure -  More animation plotting / plus graphic novel double page Medieval / Medi evil Ship crash-land - page art Two Worlds / Fight scene / page art. Some bits and pieces from Pearl of the Cobra developed with Jay Brooks back in Illinois. These pieces / pages and designs were all done in a multitude of ways. Jay did computer modeling . We both did photography and I did the majority of digital drawing and hand painting. We handed pieces back and forth to one another, cleaning up as we went along. Details of the Pearl of the Cobra and it's legend, mystery and supernatural abilities are documented here . It is up to you to decide if such a thing does indeed exist or not. Alan Brooks

This book was supposed to hit home and have uncomfortable truth's within it.  It was meant to provoke and make you uncomfortable in it's "what if" scenario.  Now we see it was prophetic all along.  It's happened - happening - and in your face - right now.  Unbelievable.  Actually, I'll rephrase that.  It is totally believable.  Nobody has to travel far to see it unfolding in their daily lives. Live and in color . . .  1984 The above piece was made a few years ago for a magazine when the story 1984 was still a novel.  A disturbing read at the best of times. Provocative and unnerving. But still just a novel. I didn't really expect to see it play out the way that it is. It seemed to be steadily getting closer. Then all of a sudden - and in fast forward - we are now suddenly  in it.

or Pot Noodles - take your pick . . . Pink Floyd of 1968. Left to right Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright Acrylic and colored pencil I like doodling . . . Not having any restrictions and being free to just mess around and see what develops. The couple of pieces here are examples of what I'm talking about. More heroes of mine from 1968 - when I was an impressionable school kid - Pink Floyd and Cream. CREAM of 1968. Ginger Baker at top. Jack Bruce center. Eric Clapton bottom. Acrylic and colored pencil.

1993 or thereabouts . . . So, more pieces discovered from a visit to England. This time it is a couple of design / drawings made in preparation for paintings. I had signed the originals 1993 and remember they were made for a poster company in Holland [if my memory serves me well.] I was still working in airbrush, watercolors, gouache and inks on illustration board at that time. Dolphin Princess 1 - Alan Brooks 1993 Dolphin Princess 2 - Alan Brooks 1993 Another erm, quirky couple of pieces here I reckon. Quirky in as much as we have been hearing a lot from the Diamond Princess / ocean cruise ships in the last few weeks due to the pandemic happening right now. Seems to me there is a lot of ocean, princess and crown going on in these pictures  . . . . time of the signs - or sign of the times - I don't know for sure. I would say that these - and the other pieces brought back from England all have specific time related stamps in on and about them.  Mad...

Stillness and Transmission These are pieces that didn't find their way into the Living Stones series of artworks [see following post] - They are I believe, interesting enough to show and pave the way [paving stones?] to the completed gallery. I guess it was and is a case of having to leave no stone left unturned.  Or is it no turd left un stoned ? Above - Stillness. Above - Transmission. Alan Brooks Please check it out.

Trees of life . . . These three trees were done a while ago and shown as ideas for Tree of Life Creative Art Workshop   - they sat around for a while and I posted them on my website some time ago. Since then I have seen one or more of them used as inspirational cards, and also rake up thousands  of views on Tumblr. So, better late than never . . . here they are. TREES OF LIFE  Alan Brooks Design

A crystal driven frequency finder of the future - and not for the faint hearted! Victorian Viewfinder This relic from the Victorian era was used to search out and seek the future! It was compared to the Ouija board at the time - albeit an upmarket version of sorts. Unfortunately a comparison that would ultimately hurt the product in the end. The idea was that this device, when a candle was lit within it, would generate an image on a glass wafer that was inserted within the viewing device. At the top of the artifact is a candle flame and within it you can see four men jumping. Below the crown and nearer to the center of the object you may see four men walking in line. An accompanying note that came with this particular purchase from auction in 1945 stated that the four men were associated with insects and would change the world. Another note mentioned a geographical area - Liverpool. Another one described a location four the walking men as Abbey Road. Used as ...

 . . . Or the End of the Beginning? Depends on how you look at things? - No, not exactly. At least erm, not on this occasion. For example, in my picture below -  Quantum Boy sits and ponders. In a state of "Totem Recall" he weighs the Geocentric Earth position against the Heliocentric model. He sighs. "Where are all the independent thinkers of this day and age?" he exclaims out loud to himself. Come to think of it . . "What is this day and age?" "Plastic age?" "Computer age - ?" "New Age?" "Ah, yes" he tells himself. "I remember now . . . It's the End of the age" Quantum Boy in Totem Recall - [Alan Brooks - Mixed media] And So It Is Alan Brooks Design
