14 Rectangles and Five Circles, an Original Digital Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
14 Rectangles and Five Circles Monochromatic Composition | May 2024

I was challenged by one of my social media followers to do a monochrome composition. This is what I came up with. I'm pretty happy with it. He liked it to, so it's a keeper.

Jenny 867-5309, an Original Digital Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Jenny 867-5309 | April 2024

My homage to Vinyl records and Eighties Music legend Tommy Tutone. If you're of a certain age, you may not know that "867-5309 - Jenny" was a hugely popular song in the early 1980's. Also, if you are of a certain age, you're welcome. We had the best music.

Admit One, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Admit One | June 2024

Admit One is mostly just an exercise in composition, but, there are a couple easter eggs in there for anyone who's known me for a long, long time. Although, they are subtle and it has been so long they probably wouldn't get it anyway.

Black Moon, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Black Moon | March 2024

Most of my artwork is about healing the open wounds of childhood trauma, abuse, depression, and the resulting PTSD. This was a big one. And that's probably all I'll say about that.

San Diego Poster, an Original Digital Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
San Diego Poster | April 2024

At the time, I figured it made sense to pay homage to my new home city.

Chicken or Egg?, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Chicken or Egg? | April 2024

I've heard this question posed since I was a child. Which came first, the chick or the egg? Well, now you don't have to know. I give you both, the chicken and the egg! I can't say with any certainty why I chose a green background for this image, but I like it.

Composition by Felix Del Marle 1925 Reimagined, a Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Composition by Felix Del Marle 1925 Reimagined | May 2024

I liked the original so I wanted to see if I could make a similar one, but also make it mine. So I did.

Containment, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Containment | September 2024

When it comes to chronic mental health issues, I feel like containment is the best some of us can hope for. Avoid these colors. Take these pills. Meet this Doctor. Do these motions. Take these other pills. Check those locks. Turn off the lights. Stay up late/Get up early. Avoid people/visit people. We do our best to make it through each day without a glimmer of hope for a cure. Just containment.

Day One, an Original Anti-Fascist Political Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Day One | July 2024

Donald Trump said he'd only be a dictator for "one day"

Egg Plant, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Egg Plant | April 2024

I always thought Eggplant was such a weird name and strange looking thing. Is it a vegetable or a fruit? I am an egg lover, so here's my Egg Plant. No more arguing.

Fibonacci Explorer, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Fibonacci Explorer | May 2024

I'm not really a fan of actual space, I like air too much I guess. I am definitely a land animal. And I don't see much value in trillion dollar pissing matches over who will do it first or better & what-not. But I also love Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Dr Who and other space and time traveling fantasies. It's a conundrum.

For Linda, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
For Linda | August 2024

Linda's favorite color is purple

Fragmented Sunset Assembly Required, an Original Abstract Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Fragmented Sunset Assembly Required | July 2024

Composition

Imperial Dunes California Poster, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Imperial Dunes California Poster | March 2024

Widely known as "Glamis" and a favorite location for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, the dunes also offer fabulous scenery, opportunities for solitude, and a home to rare plants and animals. It wasn't until I made California my home that I discovered this breathtaking locale, so what else could I do but create a special piece of personal iconography to commemorate my discovery.

Making Green, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Making Green | July 2024

Nostalgic childhood dreams of more candy than I could eat in a lifetime, Making Green is inspired by the imagination that powered Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Ongoing Assembly, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Ongoing Assembly | September 2024

I often have days where everything feels "off" and some how out of alignment with the world.

Orange Juicy, an Original Abstract Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Orange Juicy | February 2024

My first major personal art project. Each element aside from fonts used, was created from scratch. The entire image is a shade of orange with the exception of the leaf.

Outside The Lines, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Outside The Lines | March 2024

Organic abstract composition based on a drawing from my sketchbook.

Pac Man Curcuit Board, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Pac Man Curcuit Board | March 2024

Inspired by the Pac-Man video game, a 1980s maze action video game where the player controls Pac-Man, who must eat all the dots inside an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts. Eating large flashing dots called "Power Pellets" causes the ghosts to temporarily turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points.

The Feast, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California
The Feast | August 2024

I think I was hungry when creating this one. But when I was done, it looked like a plate of food, hence the name.

The Path, an Original Abstract Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
The Path | July 2024

In this piece I explore the path of life we are all traveling. We are not all traveling the same path but they do cross on occasion. We may meet for a few moments before continuing on, or we may sit together a while and get to know each other a little.

Thre Scenes, an Original Digital Abstract Composition by Steven Preston of San Diego California

Driving home from work one day and saw a solar halo so I had to mark the occasion in art.

Pink Triangle - Symbolism of the LGBTQ+ community, an Original Artwork by Steven Preston of San Diego California
Pink Triangle | October 2024

Historicaly, queer folk living openly would surely bring legal trouble, or worse. Symbolism has taken many forms through the ages. Today everyone now knows the rainbow colored Pride Flag as the universal symbol of the LGBTQ+ community. But before that, there was the Pink Triangle.
