Alexander-the-Great Art

Alexander the Great coins growing on a potted plant.

Caption: Boy, that was some fertilizer!

The above image was created using MS Paint. I took a gold-plated image of Alexander the Great, then cropped it to the shape of a coin, created a reverse exposure copy (thus the blue coins), and finally pasted them on a potted plant I painted.

The following image was also created using MS Paint. The background and pillers are a photograph of Pella, Macedon--the birthplace of Alexander the Great. I pasted on a single piller an image of Alexander's head, then painted the blood trickling down.

An image of a statue of Alexander the Great bleeding.

Caption: Blood is the price.

Yes, blood is the price paid for all wars throughout history, for whatever purposes they were fought.

Let's Head over to Cyclops Island

A painting of a greek galley being rowed out to sea.


Caption: Hey guys! I've got it! I know this nice little spot called Cyclops Island...

I created the above painting with MS Paint. Not an easy task, let me tell you! Painting with a mouse is extremely awkward and frustrating! At times I wanted to throw the mouse into the river! The other frustrating thing is the colors do not blend but overlap each other, so it is hard to achieve subtle shades. Notwithstanding these difficulties, I was able to make a painting that sort of resembles an ancient Greek ship being rowed out to sea.

My thanks to you for taking a gander at it. Click here to buy a t=shirt or mug with this picture on it.

Melissa the Great

A portrait of my friend Melissa the Great.

I created this image using MS Paint. This is a portrait of my good friend Melissa. She emailed me a photo of herself, and I used it as a model. Her photo looked as though it was taken in her office or some room in her house. I thought, why not spice it up a bit. Wonder how she would look in a tunic, surrounded by the ruins of the ancient theatre of Pella, Macedon (where Alexander the Great originated, then went on to conquer the known world)?
