My husband is an artist. He is also an art teacher at a private school. Here is some of his stuff.

sculpture too

this is all I can do...just so the thread can be about expressing MYself

 

[Badjedidude]

VERY original, interesting stuff... but I like this one the most:

It looks like Sleestaks coming out of vagina-trees situated on a field of corpses. *thumbs up!*

P.S. 500pts for anyone who gets the "Sleestak" reference without cheating. lol

 

[Spare]

Your husband is very talented, eris.

Hmmm.... Sleestaks. Makes me think of some sort of land that is lost...

 

[Badjedidude]

EXCELLENT! Very original, the colors are very rich and vibrant. I LOVE art! I think your rose is beautiful too.

Eris - I'm curious about what your husband's inspirations are (excellent work, by the way)

Would it be fair to say that he might be inspired by certain ... well, 'shamanistic' experiences? Or am I completely wrong?

 

[Zak]

Wow. They say every painting has a story. I would love to hear stories of these.

 

[eris]

Thanks everyone He is reading this and values every opinion.

Electric_Fusilier - His inspiration is actually his schitzophrenia. He is "all there" but has an elaborate world open up to him sometimes visually. These are his experiences.

Sanal - Really? because he has stories typed out about most of them.



These things are actually HUGE btw, about the size of a full sheet of poster board. He does pen and ink as well and they are very detailed but I don't have a real camera and I don't have pictures of anything else. He also can paint realistic portraits. He did one of my cousin that killed himself....his 5yr old son pointed to it and said " who painted dad ?"

These two are amazing!! I love the eye's in the top one. Very talented man! I find his inspiration to be fascinating as well. I think it would be so interesting if you could explain a bit more about these, visual image inspirations... Art is my passion!

 

[eris]

He is asleep, but I'll get him to explain it by tomorrow. Also, I'll see if there are stories of these in particular, or if I can find one that has a typed out story. i bet he has a thousand individual pieces...

more

I absolutely LOVE the big guy holding hands with the little girl. That flashed me right back to a dream I had a few times years back of having my own big monster, (good kind) who held my hand while going places in the dream. He was my protector....Awesome work. I can't wait to hear some of the stories.

 

[eris]

Sorry, I didn't know I'd be away a few days.

I'm going to let him explain this...he can give other descriptions if you want. Nina liked this one so here is goes.

Maloro is the creature on the left. Aldia is the human in the middle. Maloro was found in the dark and the rain as an infant by a kind elderly couple. They took Maloro in and raised him as their son. They looked after him until their deaths many years later. The only person Maloro had in the world was a girl named Aldia whom he first met when he was young. After Maloro buried his parents, Aldia took him to live with her parents on their sprawling farm. But Maloro and Aldia's love was no match for the fear and hatred of the townspeople who lived nearby. Aldia begged and pleaded with the mayor and the people of the town, but they were eager to have Maloro removed. Maloro and Aldia said their goodbyes and Maloro went off into the wilderness to find his new life and purpose in his adventures to come.

eris--
Thanks so much, to you and your talented hubs for sharing the story behind the art. Beautiful yet so sad....so much like life sometimes. I'd love to hear the story behind all of them. I think the thoughts of the artist is always as complex and fascinating as their work.

 

[Mr. Blue]

Beautiful stuff! I can draw my favourite scenes...ala stickperson

 

[echo]

I'm really loving these, especially the second one, the sculpture and the one with the girl! (the green one scares me, heh) Seeing the vividness and detail of the art and hearing about how your husband gets his inspiration, it makes one truly feel like we're glimpsing into other worlds, it's all fascinating and I thank you and your husband for sharing!

 

[Cereal]

Amazing, very Pink Floyd - with an astounding attention to detail.

 

[eris]

Thanks everyone he reads all of this and he is very interested and happy with your replies
