This is a departure from the way I usually work. It is technically mixed media, but all digitized, so I am not sure where that lies.
For a themed event, with the topic of "Occult", which as true students of the occult sciences will know, refers to that which is hidden, not something oogety-booogety and circa late 80's Motley Crue video. Not that there is anything wrong with that approach, if it is done well. At this point, I am done with this, even though I know it could go in so very many directions, there is no more time to play. I chose to do this as a poster which explains the text (and I never use text in my work, not really) and to recall turn of the century portrait work with the oval vignetting.

The text says,

And yet in truth, natural magic is nothing more than the workmanship of nature, made manifest by art; for, in tillage, as nature produceth corn and herbs, so art,being nature's handmaid, prepareth and helpeth it forward; in which times and seasons are materially to be considered; for annus, non arvus, producit aristas. And, though these things, while they lie hid in nature, do many of them seem impossible and miraculous, yet, when they are known, and the simplicity revealed..." Thanks go out to to the fantastic Sofie and Ebenezer Sibly.
