Imaginary view from window, memories of living in Amsterdam

55 mins “I Never Noticed The House Was On Fire” This is a painting for an upcoming group exhibition about memories. When I was a kid I grew up in a household where my parents were functioning alcoholics. They gave me toys, put me in front of the tv, and sent me outside to play to keep me distracted from what was going on. When I look back almost all of my childhood memories revolve around these things. I became obsessed with these imaginary worlds and I learned to draw by copying my favorite cartoons and characters from children’s books. It was not until I was much older, that the truth could no longer be hidden from me. The imaginary world of cartoons and books kept me shielded from the harsh realities of home. As I grew into an adult that form of coping grew with me as I created my own imaginary places inspired by the ones I loved as a child. A healthy place to escape.

Same idea as previous dragon work but a bit difference way

Whales in space yet again, because why ever not?

All creatures great, real, imaginary and small(ish)…

Part of a series of black and white drawings on birch plywood. I took some liberties with horns and the look of the face. Don't consider this a realistic bison.

graphite, character from an imaginary folktale.

Oil painting, imaginary.

What startet as a somewhat mindless marker-sketch at a cafè while having a conversation later came out as a pretty cool cityscape. Probably inspired by the movie Tekkon Kinkreet, which I watched previously.

An imaginary title for Carson Ellis's prompt.

Micron 005 pen doodle of imaginary leaves and berries, then colored in with Prismacolor pencils.

This is an exercise made at school. It is a fantasy cityscape drawn from wood blocks in persppective.

freehand illustration of wildflowers...This is a smaller piece, 6"x9". Micron ink, watercolor

This art work of mine really shows the beauty of nature, n' whenever I take a glance at it, it makes me imagine the place I've always wondered of...I really feel as if it has taken me to my imaginary world & gives me pleasure...

A simple doodle in watercolour of some pot plants. Imaginary, of course.

Portrait of an imaginary robot woman. And attempt to use up old markers and short pencil crayons - whatever I've got left.

Imaginary trash scene, what can I say

In a parallel world, not unlike our own, we find ourselves floating above a densely woven city of colorful roads, buildings, and parks.

This a self portrait drawing of myself as a younger man, with a lot of shadow play on the portrait itself and a stylized background of a sky, clouds and the sun, rendered in a kind of an imaginary dream-like almost surreal scenario. Many thanks for looking.

I love to create imaginary places with a black brush pen on paper.

This is my friend "shar" that is always there for me as a child in Africa living in those round huts. I could talk to him, share my moments of joy, sorrows, pain, and confusion. Anywhere I go he is always there with me, he is my angel.
