Before time frame panel

This is a first draft of the top frame of the 3rd picture panel. It’s the start of the story. It represents the time before the Planck Epoch, in part, the ‘bonkers universe’ where space fairies originate. There, there is no time, no energy, no light. This is the consciousness field where space fairies exist, according to my accompanying book, which diaries this witch photographer commission.

The frame panel is approximately 16 inches tall, by 3 foot 6 inches wide. See the other diagrams in posts, below for further positional info and the story flow.

It’ll be redone, iterated over and over, refined in zBrush, 3d printed, cold cast in various gold and iron powders. Finally, hand painted. Like old bas relief, woodcarvings around picture frames.

A gold bas relief.

Description

A watching space fairy, on the far left, resides in her bonkers universe. Need to add her antenna, maybe goggles. The spirals around her are ordered, structured consciousness fields. These are developed, above, into clustered thought nodes. Pure ideas and awareness existing without physical form — as befitting a bonkers universe.

Connected via flowing tendrils, to the amorphous shaped space fairies below, their combined consciousness is represented by a mush of heads, universes and thoughts. This is a quantum foam. Each ‘orb’ slightly differentiated with headphones, antenna, wings; universes, galaxies, cells; ideas, and dreams; respectively.

All of this: space fairies, universes and thoughts, move to the right as a progression of damaged, old broken universes where they will transition into the recycling of the Planck Epoch (within the next panel).

Still a long way to go…

Frame diagram

Timeline diagram of cosmic epochs showing the evolution of the universe from the Planck epoch to galaxy formation. The diagram is arranged in a clockwise sequence numbered 2 through 12, with each epoch describing activities of 'fairies' (a metaphorical representation of physical forces) and their roles in universal development. Key epochs include Quark epoch, Hadron epoch, Lepton epoch, Photon epoch, Dark ages, Reionisation, and Galaxy formation. Time periods range from zero at the Planck epoch to 300 million years at galaxy formation. The diagram includes text describing how fields merge with consciousness, geometric patterns emerge, and various quantum fields interact. The text is arranged in curved, flowing patterns across the diagram, with red headers indicating epoch names and blue text showing time periods.

m’kay now I have a cunning plan.

The red texts are the main storytelling panels.

The blue is an inner border of time, kinda logarithmic, bursting out into the far future.

Orange is another border pattern representing quantum fields and the main narrative.

(The grey clock numbers won’t be used, they’re just for context.)

Second frame sketch

Artistic gold metallic frame featuring cosmic elements including a central black hole, dancers resembling celestial beings, and astronomical motifs rendered in ornate baroque-style metalwork with spiral galaxies and orbital patterns on a white background

This second sketch goes in the waste bin. Thought I could bodge bits together into scenes. I see now, I need to have a visual flow, a golden section balance, if you will. And… A narrative, clockwise: 1pm the Big Bang’s Planck Epoch, 11pm the witch photographer in a spacesuit. Then, space fairies at midnight introduce the consciousness love field to Earth.

Dancing space fairies are good and black holes, but I need to do more with the swirling gas clouds and nebula.

Repurposing for Print on Demand

I’m switching this site, from printing myself, and posting in a tube to a POD site. I have to reformat everything, so it’s going to take a lot of time.

It’s too limiting and a royal pain. With print on demand, I can have such a huge range of materials and have things framed! And, posted out for me to all corners of the world, directly from the UK, EU, US and AU.

I’m not sure what materials, yet. But here’s a list of possibilities.

Premium Papers

  • Archival fine art papers
  • Museum-quality photo papers
  • Textured watercolour papers
  • German etching papers
  • Japanese washi

Canvas & Textiles

  • Gallery-wrapped canvas
  • Natural cotton canvas
  • Linen blends
  • Tapestries
  • Fabric prints

Contemporary Materials

  • Brushed aluminium
  • Acrylic glass
  • Bamboo panels
  • Birchwood
  • HD metal prints

The Eyes of Creation: Space Fairies at Work

Industrial-style goggles in weathered metal, showing bright turquoise eyes framed by long lashes. The lenses display iridescent purple and gold reflections with floating stars. A mechanical ventilation system is visible in the central bridge, with exposed pipes and gears.

Space fairies, photographed during the Planck Epoch of The Big Bang, by yours truly. Their goggled lenses reflect the birth of everything — quantum foam dancing in amber irises. Their dragonfly wings ripple with multi-dimensional colours. All the while, wielding infernal machinery and casting mathematical, shapely spells, they sing the universe into being.

Goggles in aged brass with more elaborate metalwork, featuring pearled studs and mathematical measurements etched around the rims. The amber eyes are surrounded by cosmic displays and numerical calculations visible in the left lens. A central bridge piece contains complex mechanical elements.
Close-up of ornate brass goggles showing two amber eyes reflected in the lenses. Each lens contains miniature cosmic scenes with stars, sparkles, and colorful nebulae. The lenses are connected by black rubber tubing and decorated with intricate metalwork and small mechanical details.

Goth space fairies

Goth space fairies aren’t bad space fairies. But, they sometimes do bad things.

It would be the very last thing you’d do. To anger a goth space fairy when her wand is alight.

Goth space fairies are not a race of fairies, more a subculture. You’d think that over the billions of billions of years (that’s a billion with a billion zeros) that there’d be an evolution of fairies.

I.e. primitive, simple, cave dwelling, rock bashing fairies to hyper civilised and ultra intelligent fairies with off shoots and dead ends to an evolutionary tree.

Not so.

There are, for sure, primitive fairies only just now crawling out of the mud and peak pinnacle, hyper-evolved fairies, but they all exist at the same time. The same space fairy time. (My time, here, and your time, there, dear reader, are not in any way connected.)

Goth space fairies, though they look to our eyes like the rebellious, punk, death worshipping goths, with Doc Martins, black and purple clothes and silver jewellery, smoking fags and moaning about shit. However, they’re just one of those coincidences that happen with infinite time.

Of course, not all goth space fairies wear black. Some, wear white. I think they’re ghost goth space fairies. But, it’s difficult to get a straight answer out of them. Their conversation, always, always leaves me more puzzled.
