The Atlas of Dreams - Color Plate 210

Picking its way carefully across the slippery landscape of the Atlas, this jeweled frog seems to be intent on its goal and completely unaware of our surveillance.

“Color Plate 210” combines a photograph from deviantART member Danika-Stock with a painting created by my father, Gus Maier.

"The Atlas Of Dreams" is an ongoing project that began in 1999. Each plate is composed of several different images combined to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Complex borders around the images fade into a white background. Source images include 19th century engravings, filtered stock photos, ArtMatic renders, astronomical photos of space and planetary surfaces, the paintings of my father, Gus Maier, and of course my own artwork - recycled and reused.
