The Twilight Zone Venusian Pins and Buttons

I used the color red on this one to symbolize anger, aggression, and danger, which our unfriendly neighborhood 3-eyed Venusian here most certainly represents. Based on another one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, this piece is essentially another spoiler (sorry), but I will assume my fellow fans of "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" won't mind.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone...

Welcome to the Twilight Zone...

The door is inside

"There Is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as time and space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and supserstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Its cool art works from The Twilight Zone series and its awesome stuffs here.

The Twilight Zone is my favorite show of all time, despite it having concluded long before I was born. Rod Serling is a hero of mine - a perfect wordsmith and creator of truly fascinating studies of the human psyche, tales that due to stellar writing, directing, and acting, feel almost more real than most TV today, despite the outlandish sci-fi scenarios. For this, I chose 4 of my favorite episodes that could be instantly recognizable with floating heads, and I used color symbolically. For the background color gradients, I created a subtle "Z" shape as a nod to the show. I also developed a new shape-drawing technique to create the faces piece by piece. It is a very tedious process, but rewarding, as it is an original look!

Twilight Zone

forever alone

You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

This is one of those pieces in which the artwork itself is a spoiler. Sorry about that, but I had to make this creepy pig-faced nurse for the cool kids who already know. The symbolic color here is green for envy, also associated with greed. "Eye of the Beholder" is a classic example of how people (or even non-people, apparently) in communities always try to fit in, try to be like each other, and feel the need to fall in line mindlessly, sometimes going to extremes to do so. Rod Serling holds up a big mirror to our society to reveal our very own sheep-like nature in another brilliant Twilight Zone episode that is utterly timeless.

Although it is not a human subject, "Rabbit" from the 1983 horror classic Twilight Zone: The Movie was just as challenging for me to make. The original painting has been sold but now you can buy the adorable critter here. This image *is* from a painting and not a still from the film so know there are brush and canvas marks!

Yum! Don't ask what the secret recipe is

Beauty is surface level and merely a comparison to the norm. If everyone is "ugly", a beautiful person would be seen as ugly.

It's like an all-stars of freaky episodes!

Twilight Zone “The Masks”

If for some terrible reason I had to narrow the genius of The Twilight Zone down to just one episode, "To Serve Man" may just be the one. If I could bottle the feeling I got when I saw the end reveal of this episode for the first time, I'd sell it and make billions. It's the twist of all twists. I'm not even going to spoil it, just in case there's some off chance you haven't seen it. And if you haven't, go watch it and come back to honor this Kanamit by wearing him (or buy now, then watch)!

Ah, poor Henry Bemis. The episode "Time Enough at Last" is a classic example of ironic tragedy, played perfectly by the great Burgess Meredith in a rare virtually solo performance. I used blue for Henry's color for fairly obvious reasons: he may just be the saddest character in Twilight Zone history.

Eye of the Beholder Doctor

There's a 5th dimension

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
