About the Piece:
When heroes begin the undertaking of an epic adventure, they hope that at its conclusion, they will find rest. After saving the world from yet another nefarious or even apocalyptic scheme, the heroes pray that their work will be complete. However, not all heroes earn the luxury to prop their feet up and enjoy a relaxing pipe or a cool mug of ale.
As these four warriors start on their heroic quest, little do they realize this will not be their final journey. Within their lifetime, they will hear the call of yet another fantasy they must fulfill. And thus, as they stand upon the hillside, this is really only beginning of their second to last journey, but they don't know this.

About the Artist:
Paul and his brother Michael opened Aradani Studios in 2002, selling both their artwork and costuming as they travelled all across the US. Paul’s medium of choice is charcoal, a passion he discovered in college. He loves the fluidity of it, the ease of moving it across the page with a simple gesture, and on the flipside, the challenge of it, such a simple gesture can also erase hours of painstaking detail. Paul’s work has won numerous awards around the country, including the prestigious Chesley Award in 2006, for Best Monochrome Unpublished for his piece Nightmare. He currently resides in Nashville, TN, where he, his brother, and sister continue to expand and build their elf ear empire. You can see his artwork at http://paulbielaczyc.com/.
