Artist Notes:
Moondust evolved from a charcoal drawing of a creature in profile, complete with an anglerfish-style antenna sprouting from the top of its head. In the original sketch, the creature had only a few wart-like bumps, but as the painting developed, I kept adding texture and surface detail until its skin began to feel ancient, cratered, and almost planetary. Somewhere along the way, the glowing orb it carried stopped feeling like a lightbulb and started feeling unmistakably celestial.
Naturally, paint spatters followed. Tiny stars appeared across the surface, and then one particular splatter landed in exactly the right spot, carrying the unmistakable feeling of drifting moondust.
At that moment, the painting declared itself finished and titled itself. I like when that happens.
