New Photos of Dream Helicopters: Some Close-up Shots
Let's take a closer look at these flying things.
It's been tricky getting a photo of this painting in it's frame, but here I am trying again.
The glass was reflecting everything, so I took the painting off of the wall to get some better light.
The painting is based on a dream; in the dream, my friend the famous artist Roller Wilson had an office in New York City, and in the dream I went to visit him there.
On the front glass of his offices were stencils of helicopters and odd geometric flying things, and when I woke up those helicopters were all that I remembered.
October 2004 is the date on the painting, I had been living in NYC for about a month.

Thanks for sharing :)
There was something eerily familiar about your 2nd last pic, and then it struck me.
It's the bottom section of the Qabalah. Where Malkouth joins with Hod, Yesod and Netzach :)
Association to the helicopter is strange though, but then its imagery would invoke different thoughts in different people.
Peace.
Oh I see that! There's a book on a shelf behind me now called 'The Mystical Qabalah', and the cover has an illustration of what you're talking about. I've painted the bottom of the Tree of Life then, flying with helicopters. Back when I painted this, I'd scarcely even heard of the Tree of Life, and I still haven't studied the Qabalah much.
I like the artwork, that is why I am letting you know in this comment. I upvoted as hard as I can, but I feel it only made a dent.
Haha! Seriously though, I like the composition and the colors. That background contrast is gorgeous! I feel like even without the helicopters and geometric figures, it could stand on its own. Wonderful work, brother!
It was a serious dent, and was felt, thank you!
This painting was mostly walls, and I found myself detailing them quite a bit, but I really just wanted to draw helicopters, not paint walls-- but I do like the way they turned out.
Wow very interesting, the paintings are so real as helicopter. You have mentioned that all are based on dream, your friend is out of description telanted. Thanks for sharing such an interesting topic. Wish you a very beautiful time ahead my friend.
I learned a lot about painting from Roller Wilson, and I think you are right, he is beyond description. His painting he calls his 'monkey business'. Thanks for looking at my art, I'm glad you like my helicopters. Have a great day!
good job..you have drawn them nicely :)
Thank you, I definitely had fun drawing helicopters!
