'''The Helianx Proposition''' is a [[cosmic]] fable, a creation myth that was written in 1979 by [[Timothy Wyllie]] after he examined the deeper symbolic meaning of the traditional [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Garden of Eden]] myth and wondered what on earth the Serpent was doing there. Since the creature's impact on the two [[human|humans]] was apparently so profound, it appeared that perhaps the Serpent, too, had a [[divine]] origin and a valuable function to perform. At that point The Helianx Proposition started writing itself.

The next 20 years he spent illustrating and [[calligraphy|calligraphing]] the story using graphite on parchment as the [[medium]] with the intent to produce them in [[color]] when computer technology would facilitate coloring the black and white images.

By 2001, the technology had developed sufficiently to afford him to transform the black and white pages through digital photography and then print them on watercolor paper using a high-end ink jet technology called [[Giclee]] printing. After learning Adobe Photoshop with the idea of using software to color the images. it would become clear to him that even more time might be required to color the pages digitally than to do it by hand--and not half as much fun. Consequently, the addition of color to the printed image was made by applying dry pigments, rephotographing the image, and then cleaning it up and make any minor adjustments using Adobe Photoshop before printing the page.
