    My artwork is related with my mind daydreams. Normally, it..s a gender of fantasy, surreal and dark abstract. I like to mix reality with unreality, so I can find a single and unique kind of image. Something that people don..t see it everyday. It..s a way of expression to my different feelings. I use two different pseudonyms for each kind of image. grENDel is for the most colorfull, or the most accessible ones. beowulf is for the most dark ones. My artworks are a mix of photography (95%) with graphics made with an edition pc program. Some of the pictures are taken by me, some others are taken from stock sites, but never using the facility of the better images. I like to work with the most spoiled images. My inspiration comes a lot of times through music, mainly from prog or ambient music. Also comes from other artist, such as Mark Wilkinson, Salvador Dali, HR Giger, Travis Smith or Lasse Hoile. ___________________________________________________________ O meu trabalho está relacionado com os devaneios que ocorrem na minha mente. Normalmente, é um género inclinado para a fantasia e para o obscuro abstracto. Algo surreal. Gosto de misturar a realidade com a irrealidade, fazer com que cada resultado final seja único, algo que as pessoas normalmente não vêm no seu dia a dia. É uma forma de expressão aos meus variados sentimentos. Uso dois pseudónimos para cada tipo de trabalho. O grENDel para trabalhos mais coloridos e o de beowulf, para os mais obscuros. Os meus trabalhos são uma mistura de fotografia, com grafismo criado a partir de programas de edição. Algumas fotos são compostas por mim desde o primeiro click. Outras, são retiradas de stocks que tento sempre trabalhar o melhor possível, nunca usufruindo da facilidade que elas impõem. Minha inspiração, por vezes, parte da música que oiço (rock progressivo e ambiental) e também de outros artistas mais conceituados, tais como: Mark Wilkinson, Siro Anton, Travis Smith, Salvador Dali, HR Giger.

    To be honest, we couldn't be happier with the artwork! It's amazing and we've gotten quite a few compliments on it!

    Rest assured, the next album we are definitely coming back to you for art, it really is amazing.

    Now we just need to think of a name for the CD, lol...

    We are thinking of going with "Scenes of Tomorrow" but not sure yet...
