Description Original artwork for the BT album "These Hopeful Machines".

This was painted on two canvases 15 x 45 inches each. Painted with oils.

It took me over a month to finish. I consider it one of the best things I have ever made.

I can't offer it for as a print, but thought I'd share what the full artwork looks like. Get the album! It'll rock your world.

OK, The only thing that matches the beauty of BT's music in the wonderful album "These Hopeful Machines" is the artwork, I love it so much, and I want a large copy to plaster to my wall or something lol
Some day I will get this. I bought the digital copy so I don't have a solid copy of the art work sadly

Considering it your best, and how. It definitely is quite a work and use of colors is magnificent. Props for working with BT, as I really love his music, and this art more then compliments his musical style. Peace.

I'll be completely honest in saying that your work for the cover is part of the reason why I decided to buy the album in the first place. Incredible work!

This is the most beautiful album cover I have ever laid eyes upon, and for my favorite album of all time. The visual theme presented in this work matches the feeling of These Hopeful Machines perfectly. An absolute masterpiece.

So YOU are the amazing artist behind this album's cover! WOW That's incredible work. You really visually captured BT's amazing soundscapes. Great interpretation! "These Hopeful Machines" is actually my favorite album of all time (of any genre). Previously "Movement In Still Life" held that spot (also by BT). Amazing artwork for an amazing album.

You are brilliant. I love themes of boys looking into water and seeing their reflection. I just bought the CD, just for your artwork , and my son will love the music. Okay, I might just like the music too.

I cant believe the artist for the covers has a dA

I loved the covers the minute I saw them
Seeing the whole thing just makes it that much more awesome

Also I dont recall seeing the portion towards the bottom on a cover or anything

I want to see it bigger. Much bigger. Too much detail to take in on such a small scale. You should definitely make it a print piece.

This is fantastic. It's weird because while I know the quality that comes from your art so often, I am so not used to seeing amazing album artwork like this. Thanks for pushing the envelope, and BT is awesome for seeing your talent. I hope other musicians pick up on this too.
