| Mike Sexton | |
)
|
1977-Germany. Hello, my name's Mike Sexton & I'm a digital painter/artist who loves to paint wildlife images as well as fantasy & mythological scenes; I try to blend a touch of the new style along with the classic look and feel in everything I paint or design. |
| About the Artist | |
I'm self-taught digital artist living in America; I've been drawing/sketching since I was a kid and even designed my own special touch to my school folders back when I was in school- yea I was always a bit different hehe. I love to paint wildlife scenes especially of big cats & birds & wolves but I am also a tremendous lover of Egyptian art and I style some of those as well as dragon and griffon paintings. |

Gateway to Hall of Truth
2006 |
)
|
| This is a lovely depiction of what an Egyptian might have come across once they passed away; they believed very strongly in the afterlife and you had to face a series of perils in order to get to the final destination-this is the gateway to the hall of truth where your heart was weighed against the Ma'at feather to see if you were worthy of the afterlife. |

Night Owl
2006 |
)
|
| I love owls, all birds really but with this painting I focused on an owl coming right at their prey with a beautiful wooded scene behind him. |
|
Egyptian Room
2006 |
)
|
| I read up on the ancient Egyptians and this scene came to mind of what a classic middle-class room might have looked like in ancient Egypt. |
|
Maker of Scribes
2006 |
)
|
| Thoth was a major God in Egyptian antiquity- he was the god of scribes, writing & the moon and as such, I have painted this beautiful image of Thoth in front of a wonderfully crafted temple creating a new magical papyrus. |
|
Temple Anubis
2007 |
)
|
| My 1st new Anubis painting in quite some time; here he is kneeling in front of a temple dedicated to him with a beautiful mastaba- the forerunner to the pyramid design-- in the background. |
|
| Education and biography | |
| I am self-taught as I said but am always trying out new techniques to improve my own work; I do design for my own online stores as well as design websites to help an artist make ends meet. MY gosh, The contest is now officially over and thanks to everyone's votes I can happily announce that I won first place!!! I won by 104 votes and for all of you who voted for me every day and as often as you could, I must say a sincere and heart-felt thank you; without all of you I wouldn't have done it, especially when I fell behind a couple of times during the contest; thank you so much. Here's the link in case you wish to see all the final tallies . http://www.bestofartists.com/ArtCompetitionsExhibit1.html I was also part of the Junction City, KS Art Council's Art Gallery Walk on 15 of June 2007. |
