Outsider Art

I read this quote on the wikipedia page for "Outsider Art"

Jean Dubuffet characterized art brut (outsider, or raw art) as:
"Those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses – where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere – are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professionals. After a certain familiarity with these flourishings of an exalted feverishness, lived so fully and so intensely by their authors, we cannot avoid the feeling that in relation to these works, cultural art in its entirety appears to be the game of a futile society, a fallacious parade."

Amen.

it's all for the birds, all of it

Nobody can touch this original work of mine. This bird is portrayed much larger than it is in reality, because it has been torn away from all context. Forget angry birds, they are nothing. This is a real bird, with real malice, and ill will towards you. Let its gaze penetrate your soul, and see your faults. All pain is an illusion.

Master Peep

Meet Master Peep, the Halo bird. The idea is stronger than my rendering of it, most likely another thing I'll have to come back to at a later date in order to be completely satisfied with. Credit for the name goes to Upper Park Art.
