As often mentioned, an Echelon scene will start by constructing a flying craft of some kind on a gradated sky. It’s a somewhat simple procedure of overlapping shapes and gradations and graphic elements that I find appealing. They often turn out quite abstract. 

Below is an offshoot image using craft, not necessarily an Echelon image, just something further abstracted.

148 Echelon

One of my favourites. Maybe because of the graphic element of the Morse code like dashes superimposed over the architecture. I think the flying ships are stellar! A few posts earlier you can see the design development of one of them. I often put too many elements in these pictures. It’s hard for me to be satisfied with simplicity. The top ship probably doesn’t need to be there but it adds a nice counter movement to the two other ships.

 Funny what can influence you when making art. I recently bought a Lava Lamp.

Echelon Dream - 152

Every once in awhile there is an Echelon piece that does not quite seem like a Twilight of Echelon image, so it must be a dream. I’m still wondering who or what is dreaming … and what does it all mean?
