There is another side to the themes from Ananiel I want to approach with this piece. The original one was about the feeling of starting something you don't have the power to stop. For a lot of people that resonated with feelings of addiction. While the original was more centered on the powerlessness of that feeling, I want this one to be more of the false power that comes with it.

Baraqiel, The Living Vessel
The Watchers are being revived! I’m starting with Baraqiel.
After months of anticipation (on my part), I'm back to working on the black sheep of the Angelarium family. Getting back to doing some darker pieces has me excited. I've been doing moody black and white studies recently and it's been whetting my palette to start a full fledged piece like this.
Read MoreThe rituals Baraqiel performed were an object of fascination for both men and Angels alike. He brought to them the gift of tamed lightning. Despite the widespread appreciation for the fruits of this work, few volunteered to assist. Baraqiel was known not only for the power he commanded, but also his lack of respect for it. His fall was the first to prove that Watchers were not complete in their wisdom or their immortality.
Revival of the Watchers
The Zodiac series is all done!
For an entire year, each Angel of the Zodiac has been worked on in turn. Which has left the question. "What's next after they are done?"
Legacy Print Subsription - Patreon
I’m offering a way for people to get sold out prints from the store through a new subscription program on Patreon. It’s still new, so here’s some info about.
What is it?
Every month, there will be a different Legacy Print available exclusively for Patreon members that pledge $30+ per painting. These paintings have all sold out as Limited Editions and aren’t available through any other means online. Each print is 12x18 on luster paper, hand signed by me in gold. They are identical to the ones sold at conventions.
Every month a different print will be voted on by the subscribers from a small pool of popular sold out pieces that I select.

Tribute to the Watchers - Fan Art Contest
After opening up the Discord channel for the Angelarium Patreon campaign, I discovered that a ton of you guys are great artists! I'd love to open up the door for people to make their own interpretations of the Angels, so I'm offering up hundreds of dollars in prizes to get the ball rolling!

Angels of the Zodiac
The twelve tropical signs of the Zodiac are each associated with a patron Angel that embodies the properties of their respective sign. Starting with Ambriel, Angel of Gemini, I'll be illustrating the whole cycle with at least one new Angel per month.
Beyond the artwork, there is a special connection to this series that's yet to be announced. These pieces are going to be a part of an interdisciplinary collaboration that will expand Angelarium into new territory. Keep an eye out for more news on that as the series continues.
