NEST VILLAGE
It’s 100 years in the future. The world has become a dangerous place. The surface of the planet is polluted with green house gases and roving bands of gas mask wearing bandits scour the Earth for what’s left of the dwindling resources mankind left behind. Sprinkled around the landscape are these small settlements built up high on towers, safe from the bandits and high enough to allow them to breath less polluted air. Is this what will become of humanity? Is this how we will live in 100 years? Or, will we finally get a grip on global warming and solve the existential problem of climate change?
I first painted a version of this picture ten years ago. I called it “Nest Town.” Like all of my work, it was a digital painting. The painting was very popular and it sold out in many of the sizes I printed for sale. “Nest Village” is a new digital painting. I revisited the same composition from ten years ago and repainted it in a more spontaneous rendering that gives the picture a more immediate look.
JOHN LEBEN'S COLLECTABLE NOTECARDS
Leben's collectable notecards showcase his limited edition images on high quality watercolor paper and feature distinctive deckled edges around the image giving a border around the art. These cards are a great way to sample the art in a tangible way before purchasing a larger picture and can act as a mini print if you choose to frame them. They can also be a great way to send a personal note to someone special. Each card comes with an envelope included. Each order is a quantity of 1.
