Origin of the idea ....

This one was made with a series of similar postcards back in 1998, most of which have been mail out somewhere. It's notated on the back "Tales from the Metropolis of Destructon: The Approach". It got me doing these drawings again and I completed a much larger one that had been sitting around incomplete for 10 years with two others. I'm working on them currently.

The Approach '98
The Petrofect Islands . These deep sea mining outposts tap into rich fossil and mineral deposits globally like the massive sulphide deposits near "black smokers" that spew 350-degree Celsius water into the frigid deep-sea environment that support strange marine organisms.
