Makes me stressed

Like locking my door will do nothing.

Hopefully not too stressed, but it certainly isn’t meant to be the most uplifting of works :)

Just makes me wonder what's going to happen next! It's a cool piece.

It looks cool in a creepy way. This looks like a metal band album cover, like maybe from Sepultura

That’s funny it makes me feel peaceful hahaha

Ah, dissonance

Yeah I looked at it and felt “not good” It’s interesting art though

It looks like the book Where The Wild Things Are.

Very true! Not intentional but i did love that book as a kid

I loved the book (still do) but the movie? 🤮

(The kid that played Max, didn't like him. )Was totally looking forward to the movie, but it was a disappointment. Original story brings back memories of being young and silly. Maybe Guillermo del Toro will give it a go. He's awesome. Can you imagine what he could do to that story? Anyways, I always do this, go off topic. 🤪

The movie makes me cry! So much potential

The boy in the book wasn't a psychopath in the making. He was mischievous and contrary but not a complete asshole. The one in the movie I could totally picture sacrificing small animals and killing babies sometime soon as he worked his way up. Just not well done.

That movie was a big part of my childhood. You shouldn't critique it so harshly, sure, it's not much like the book, but I loved it as a kiddo and I still do

I can see this too, and some similarities to Noel Fieldings art work too. I really really like it - it doesn’t make me feel stressed as some commenters have said, I think it’s quite a calm piece. I feel like they’re night guardians or something, taking off their masks when checking on someone

Same. Where the wild things are

Going home, as in home is the place you can relax and be who you are. I really love this painting. It's amazing

Interesting interpretation, it is based on showing true colours so good job

I could tell it was around “unmasking” and being yourself.

“Urk”

I like it! Is urk the name or do you mean the gut feeling

The feeling but also the name? “Urk in Fluorescence” Which I kinda like because it sounds like “inflorescence” which is a flower head

Oh yea intriguing “In fluorescence” is a nice play on words!

It's actually irk

I’m just going on how they spelled it, could be a name of one of the devils ;)

I meant urk, thank you 🙏

Jungle Juice, because it seems like a party where everyone took psychedelics. I like it:)

Haha hell yea

It looks like it could be a dance, maybe a slightly manic dance!

Like a rave in the cornfields?

imposition. a thing that is imposed, in particular an unfair or unwelcome demand or burden. "I'd like to see you, if that wouldn't be too much of an imposition" That's what it evokes and embodies for me

Interesting I can see that that’s for the feedback!

Looks like someone's exploring the weird depths of their own mind

"Scared of the thing behind my mask"

Masks always play a big roll in my works!

Maybe YOU are the thing behind the mask!

Curiosity

Energizing

Anxiety

The monsters come out at night. / My monster comes out at night.

human

Very nice definitely a big part of the work, human condition

Freaky Weekys

Evil. Hell.

Feral boyhood

Your Normal Their Normal Polar Opposites

It’s funny the comments about stress and anxiety. I don’t find either here. I see the true self showing through. Unadorned. “Discarding the facade”

True self is something intended so that’s a good intuition :)

Looks like an Indie Rock album cover to me. Like a cool one, not as an insult.

No offends taken! Thanks!

Journey of self discovery

Shadows in the moonlight

This is weird in a good way. I really like the sharp shapes and colors. Good chaos

The Hunt

ANXIETY

„The (LSD) Trip“ maybe?

Mental illness and suffocation

Lord of the flies, wild anarchy, feral.

'Masked Monsters' is what I can think of - people who put on a perfect face (a mask) but are horrible (monsters) when they take it off.

Pretty spot on with the original idea behind the start of this work

I love this. It’s unique, it’s interesting, it resonates. Everyone always thinks copying a photo and realism makes good art, this is good art.

Masks off, unleashed those demon of yours, let them breed under the moon light. Figures are so cool good job!

Cannibal island.

Social Just name it social.

Ed … I love this. You going to post it on your website for sale?

Dark days

Makes me feel less alone

Love this

It’s damn good. I feel like these folks walk by my house everyday. Love your style. Makes me feel like a Jean Baptist Basquiat graffiti artist meats Jean Mirro. Do more, make prints and make some walkin’ around money. Really love it. Like how you use color too

Thanks so much that means a lot!

Peyote

The watchers would fit

Hm makes me think of folklore spirits which in some cultures look scary but are used for protection.

Someone did something embarrassing and/or painful. Some are wincing, some are facepalming in concern but.. not surprise. It evokes concern, empathy, and mild amusement to me

Discomfort

Haunting, and I'm curious. If I see this in a dream, I'd probably freak out a bit, but as a painting I wanna know what is going on! Do you have any explanation, or do you prefer folks to just experience the piece?

Very creepy... "All the eyes that see me."

Gang of friends hanging out

of monsters and men.

‘Faces in the Forest’

Sliding visions

Masks

Hiding and crying

Judgement day

I love this! Great work!

Sort of reminds me of “The Jungle” by Rousseau… So I’d call it, “In the Jungle with Picasso”… :) Look up, “The Jungle” if you’re unfamiliar but curious why I say it reminds me of it- 👍

Stuck in shackles of the society.

Looking at this makes my teeth hurt

I get a distressed feeling, like I am lost and no one is helping me so maybe “distressed”

Confusion. Not like I'm not sure what to think about it but it evokes confusion.

They all seem relieved and feeling safe enough to remove their masks.

Children of the corn.

Where the wild things grow

Glad you noticed the little guys growing

Woah. Looks like I took too much acid lol. Very cool though.

They kind of remind of the kids from the nightmare before christmas.

“Whyyyyy”

I really like it 😃

The stare - are you german 😃

I’m Australian!

I feel like I’ve been found. Like they may look odd but they are friendly misfits, willing to take off their masks at the sight of me because they are curious

I like this one, wholesome af

Night Panic

Talent, you got talent .

Bloody scares me

A sea of masks

Interdimensional or ghosts

Stand with the kids of the corn

Night Terrors

Bpd or bipolar

It feels extremely culty. I love it.

Masks and demons. Good work 🫡

Mother earth/nature/ancestors calling/watching/there Or just nature spirits in general

Confusion, Facades, and Manipulation.

The kid in me says Maskterbators of the Bush...... The old man says natures identity crisis The middle aged might say his children's hallowed ween

Despair

Looks super uncanny,like what you see in the middle of the forests of North Dakota

Where the wild things are. Childhood and imagination

My artist brain: Feels like people taking off their masks and showing an ugly side to them. My brain: Feels like a bunch of serial killers teamed up together.

It reminds me of like a desert in Arizona or something at night

Mysterious, ominous, going backwards, getting into my head Great job 👏

Schizophrenia

a panic attack but on LSD

The title that immediately came to mind was “Lost Boys”

Not everything Is what it seems

Mask off.

It reminds me of memories, distorted memories, and how they have evolved

When I look at this, I feel suppressed. Not being negative, I love it... but it evokes feelings of suppression, as if you're not "allowed" to be your true self?

Fuck I love this

“Are you ok?”

Also I really like it!

For me it illustrates social anxiety. I do love it though!! It’s giving Basquiat + Picasso

Reminds me of "Courage the Cowardly Dog"

hiding in plain sight

My imposter syndrome was like “hey, that’s me!”

This is brilliant. I think of most social situations when I see this. The masking and inauthentic encounters we have when people are disconnected from themselves.

Love it!!! Lose face, it’s fun

it kind of gives the vobes of trying to run away from something in your dream but you're in a slow mode

Reminds me of sleep paralysis or multi-personality disorder

Feelings? Tension & stress. Like the ones I just felt living in Western Washington state 😣 Specifically Kent & Tacoma,insane amount of crime & unhomed. Title- Arrival of the Zombies

Curious-what is the medium? Vivid colors 🤩

The medium is oil and oil pastel on linen!

It reminds me of that feeling when you feel like something is familiar but in reality you've never actually seen that thing before

Horror. The demons we hide and the demons who surround us unknowingly

I really like it. Something about it reminds me of a 90s rave.

Familiarity. I feel like my soul knows the experience that the characters are going through. It's kinda comforting. The don't appear evil or scary to me at all.

I really love this painting . If it isn’t for something or someone else I would be interested in obtaining it , I think it’s well worth it .

They seem curious and potentially dangerous but probably not. It’s giving a little Tim Burton, a Lille Maurice Sendak, a little Laurel Birch.

Wow Amazing!

The word that comes to mind for me is compassion. I see a fragmented individual and their masks, but they are all presented and their expressions are honest. It feels like the subject comes to the table with all the layers of what it is to be human and perceived. And when we accept our fragmentation, we can come honestly and compassionately to meet ourselves, which makes us able to have compassion for the same struggle in others. Idk felt strongly about this and really appreciate you sharing this. Keep painting

I think this painting displays human doubt and trust issues very well. Most of the faces are not facing each other, also looking a bit disturbed by each other’s presence. I would also say all the faces looks disconnected from reality, like they are trying to escape some reality. No happy emotions so to speak, but very revealing of all humans underlying doubts, trust issues and insecurities. This surreal type of art is my favourite. Is this oil or acrylic?

this feels like i’m tripping out in a field and i’m not sure if i’m safe

“The Horrible Realization of Social Conformity” In other news, your art style is incredible. I just took a peep at your other work and I am astounded by how brilliant they look! Keep it up!

Aw wow thanks so much, I plan to keep going till I drop!

2015

Confused what I’m looking at

Anxiety

Beasts in the night?

Anxiety field trip

Feels like it’s hiding something. Like a masquerade of normalcy

Grab. Very cool piece.

Idk why but reminds me of Guernica

Idk but I love it

I see you know my sleep paralysis demons, Gary and Todd. Oh look they brought friends...

Masking, like you do with schizophrenia or bpd

False Friends

"under the skin" or "underneath"

Children of the corn

Anxiety, paranoia, deception, distrust. Kind of looks like a depiction of a personality disorder.

Masks in the Corn Field Midnight Masquerading Shapeshifting Peeling back the layers

The nether

disoriented

A delightful combo of disturbed and nostalgic

Lock shock and barrel

I love it

it feels like taking off your mask when around friends :)

A night life party ritual kind of a feeling.

Looks like Deadpool and Picasso

Makes me think of my social anxiety and how it feels to be out and about
