Added a couple of new geometric transformations of concentric circular patterns & palette brightness sort, for future histogram use in determining physical paint quantities & mix requirements. Start animation will be inspired by Moto G 2016 bootup. @SpotsDotArt #Spots #VanGogh

@ViolettaPJones A lovely evocative commissioned piece. Title: (Highland) Monarch. Or you could opt for old masters approach to titles and call it Untitled no.5 🤦‍♂️😁

@trevorjonesart As children, we are taught to believe in mythical characters; fairies, the Easter bunny, Father Christmas, vampires, demons, elves. Some take the belief system too far and morph into one of those characters, bringing a sense of anticipation and magic. Ho ho ho 🤭

@DomainNameWire Congrats Andrew. What outreach techniques did you adopt and how did you source the lead/buyer, or just good fortune?

@powerdotart @afternic It's your round 🍻 smart choice.

@HailMaryLogs C'mon Ryan, Rocky did more than his fair share to save both planets and save your life. Credit where credit is due. 😁

@trevorjonesart Damn, I almost missed this, as I've already adopted less social media scrolling. Health first. Brain, muscles, stress recovery. I'm sure V will have been scared too, and have some sensible suggestions. My suggestion is a temporary ban of mobile devices in the bedroom. 😉♥️

@trevorjonesart Looks like you're enjoying your rescue mission in the Lacandon Jungle. "If it bleeds, we can kill it". V is panicking 🤣

@theandreiverdes Corporate dislike intelligent people who can problem solve and have independent thought, surrounding themselves with yes wo/men. Leaving is the correct move and brave step to freelance or start your own business. It's a pleasure when they go bust, after the real talent leaves.

@shl First you need to understand there is no photo.

@Mr_B_OB 🤣

@ViolettaPJones Powerful and nice spread of skin tones. This one brought a tear or two...

[Derrick.Art @ColourArtwork]

@TurnItUp79 That's a look of someone is in trouble if they don't reply to your DM, .oOps 🤭 I'll send a photo of one of mum's tartan cushions ♥️

@trevorjonesart Take the grey hairs all day long, because they're better than the alternative ... posthumous unfinished The Titanium Angel 😁 What makes me chuckle is when asking an "average person" how much a painting is worth and their price doesn't even cover the cost of a blank canvas 🤦‍♂️😅

Epic. The Titanium Angel, by Trevor Jones.

Take a moment to appreciate the dedication to produce an oversized triptych oil painting and hybrid of classical and steampunk themes, combined with digital animation and AR.

Gm! 🔊👆 After 2+ years working on the massive oil painting The Titanium Angel (180 x 320 cm) and over a year on this 3.5 minute award winning animation, I’m proud to share my tour de force. In a world of quick scrolls, here’s something to pause for. Please take a few minutes to watch and read the short summary below. Likes, shares and comments welcome. 🙏

This has been a labour of love that consumed me for years. The painting and animation pushed me further than I imagined. I may never sell it or turn it into an NFT drop, but what matters most is this: it’s finished, and I’m incredibly proud.

It’s more than a painting and animation. It’s an entire world called The Engine; a 4,200 word story, academic essay, 9 animations, and multiple short stories. And now, with my next project #EXPOS3D, which has consumed me since January, I’ve found an exciting way to tie The Engine series into my art practice and vision going forward, alongside the other enormous project that defined 2022–2025, The CryptoAngels.

What comes next will be even bigger.

-------------------------

The Titanium Angel is a tale from the Clockwork Court, a vast machine-realm built on the ruins of a dying planet. The Court appears eternal with its chambers of gears, pistons, and furnaces, yet its grandeur conceals a poisoned legacy. Long before its construction two great powers ruled the Earth. One, symbolised by the Bull, was driven by strength, expansion, and light. The other, symbolised by the Bear, embodied endurance, shadow, and entropy. Known in the Court’s chronicles as Talos and Artos, these forces were forged into nuclear reactors meant to defend their nations. Instead their unleashed power consumed the world and left it collapsing.

From this devastation arose the Engineer and the Programmer. Once human, they remade themselves to endure. The Engineer sacrificed nearly all humanity, becoming a being of metal and circuits devoted to form and control. The Programmer retained more of her human essence, her mind still shaped by language, pattern, and imagination. Together they harnessed the forces of Talos and Artos, binding them within the Court’s core to power its eternal rhythms.

Most inhabitants live by ritual, unaware of decline, yet some feel urgency. This drives the construction of the Titanium Angel, a colossal rocket built not for conquest but for survival. It is designed to pierce the heavens and seek new worlds before the current one fails.

The Angel is revered as both triumph of engineering and covenant of preservation. Its design includes seeds, records, and fragments of knowledge to be carried into the unknown. Echoing Noah’s Ark, it is both machine and myth, faith and technology bound in steel. For Sialia, the Page, the Angel is awe-inspiring and unsettling, a masterpiece that embodies renewal, warning, and humanity’s restless drive to explore even when it risks destruction.

@trevorjonesart Titanium Angel will attract its fair share of haters. Haters gonna hate. Hating that they never produced it or the complementary AR tech, ha. Keep the Just Stop Oil fan base away.

@trevorjonesart Shortly before the tragedy, I watched a Tiktokker stopping random people whilst out enjoying their normal day and throwing them a pool noodle. Fight! No fear of the other person, an opportunity to vent some aggression, nobody gets hurt, and maybe, just maybe make a new friend.
