Project Aurora 13: Gems

1 min read

I have pretty much given up on here because of DA's stance on AI art with the generator and the absolute flood of AI images making the site all but unusable in my opinion. But for those who are still here, I wanted to let you all know we have released our 13th exhibition over at Project Aurora. It is titled Gems and has some fantastic pieces in it (including a whole 7 from me!). You can check it out here: https://www.projectaurora.art/xiii-gems

All the best Alastair

Project Aurora 12: Gold

1 min read

The newest Project Aurora release is here! Our 12th release, titled Gold, can be seen at www.projectaurora.art

The third and final installment of our precious metal series, the royalty of the metals. Gold. Treasured for its appearance (and workable nature) gold has been a symbol of excellence, wealth and sophistication for thousands of years. It has been the foundation of legends, the basis of our currencies, the driver of exploration and the cause of wars. We present to you 24 karat creations from our artists as they bring gold to life.

Personally I have 4 solo pieces in the release consisting of an abstract series and the 3rd installment of my Dragons. I hope you enjoy!

Project Aurora XI: Silver

1 min read

The newest Project Aurora release is here! Our 11th release, titled Silver, can be seen at www.projectaurora.art

As we move one tier above our precious metals exhibit, we now explore Silver. Silver represents many things to diverse cultures around the world. Apart from its obvious relationship with elegance and regality, it is often associated with the moon and it is said to be a mirror to the soul. It is also an element often associated with healing, wisdom, positivity, and the feminine energy.

We present to you these elegant creations from our artists as they artistically explore the ways of Silver in their own way.

Project Aurora: Blue - Out Now by Smiling-Demon, journal

Project Aurora: Blue - Out Now

Sep 2, 2020

For this exhibition we are certainly feeling the Blues. A color often associated with water and the heavens, a color that has seen diverse use and highly prized since ancient days across different cultures, coveted by royalty and artisans alike. Blue is a color of power, authority and divinity. A color of balance and equilibrium. It also evokes a sense of calmness, tranquility, and peace. But apart from the benign and benevolent, blue is also associated with lifelessness, gloom, and sadness. It can also represent the darkness or the night. Steeped with diverse meaning, it is no wonder that the color blue holds the record of being the world's most favorite color. Please enjoy these creations from our Aurora Artists and may they help you with the blues. You can see the release on www.projectaurora.art ---------- The pack has 6 pieces from me in there (3 solo, 3 collabs) alongside loads of other excellent pieces by lots of artists. It is our biggest release yet, and quite possibly

Hey all, I have been pretty quiet the last few months, but hopefully I can find some time and motivation to change that over the next few. Off skiing later this week so that will be a nice break. Anyway what I have been doing is I am now on Instagram and it has been fun to go through my back catalogue and upload a load of older pieces to it. Been good to reminisce!
