M A S T E R - U N I V E R S E - C A N V A S - P R I N T S


Following on from the commission I worked on for the Urantia Foundation back in 2002, the image is a much more detailed overview that combines all the info shown in those four images into a map of the “Master Universe”.

Effectively this maps illustrates how the Urantia Book describes the organisation of the entire creation in top and side profile, with some other info about worlds.

This piece took quite a long time to complete, not to mention the extended period of time where I intended to work on it, but was a little unsure of the correct distances and geographical positions of things. I relied heavily with the online resources to get these numbers and details right, so thank you to everybody who contributes to these!

The image itself is enormous:

FInal dimensions 21000 pixels wide (shown here at 8,4%!)
All text is vector so it can be translated or amended
It is intended to be printed potentially *very large* and to visualise some of the more complex concepts in the book.

I think the image took about 200 hours of organising, painting and research – using about 4GB of memory while I painted and the saved files are 400MB in size.

I am not sure what is going to be done about prints of this piece – so many people contact me about the original 4 (which have still to be released by the UF as prints) – I may organise some limited edition canvas runs of this piece in the near future.

Book info is here for those interested:

My dad is really big into the Urantia book. A print of this would really make his day. Hopefully the UF offer prints soon. T_T

Not much to look at with the book, I'm afraid to say; but that is a very good painting! You should do one of the actual known universe as well.

ANTIFAN-REAL In reply to FlamingMetroidzd [2009-07-28 12:08:41 +0000 UTC]

That is an interesting request actually. However I tend to veer away from producing much scientifically based imagery (unless it is commissioned) because modern science and its knowledge base changes so often that any piece of art would become as outmoded and irrelevant as the theory it was based on, once superseded by additional discoveries or changes of scientific thinking.

Something like this, however, be it believed, or not, right or wrong is not going to change because it is based on non-changing literature, so it’s artistic worth is hopefully more prolonged.

Is there any chance that we get a version where the text can be read?? This is by far the MOST awesome urantia-book-related-universe map!!!

ANTIFAN-REAL In reply to radikian [2009-07-24 13:54:47 +0000 UTC]

I am trying to work out how to do this - my problem being is a res that could be read easily is fodder for somebody to steal the image and print it themselves (which has happened before). I will post up once it is up for sale though - or if I manage to get a way of making the info readable (via an interactive flash file or something)

Thanks for the kind words

Looks pretty, but some of the text i could make out is quite confusing. Does this image have any scientific foundation or is it based only on info from this suspicious book?

Only based on the books info.

Reminds me somewhat of "The hichhickers guide to the galexy" im sure they would have loved to use it

This is splendid, i love how it's all put together! But is there a bigger version? I can barely read the subtitles

Absolutely amazing in all corners. The details made on this map are well created to give one the idea that the Universe is not so complex as they think it would be to find these galaxies. The colors of the galaxies are well made.

Congratulations on the Daily Deviation!
Certainly well deserved!
