Hi there,
this is my first entry for the Alien Art community. You asked for mildly strange? Well, I might be able to accommodate you with this digital painting I created several years ago. It's called Serenade To The Universe and it shows a regular guy in a typical boring setting. NOT. See for yourself.
It took a long time to produce, not only because of all the detail but because the initial concept was for the guy to be part of something different, but then it took on a life on it's own because I grew fond of that weirdo and decided he deserves being the main character in a dedicated piece of art.
