I often have trouble distinguishing fiction from reality. I live in a world of my own making. This blog is purely for the purpose of pretty pictures and my own fantasy/fiction writings with the extremely rare rant or random thought thrown in. If something is not mine, it will be obviously quoted and the author stated. None of the pictures thus far are mine.

Photo realistic, totem-like animals and distorted childlike people float like dreams through blurry surrealistic European city scapes or drift on stormy seas on decrepit ships in a soft focus haze, shimmering as if in a fevered dream.Beyond the wondrous imagery there is another startling and unusual aspect to Chris’ work, in which the smooth, translucent look of the his medium of choice (all works are created with drawing ink, bistre, graphite, parquet lacquer, alkyd coating varnish on inkjet photo paper that is then mounted on wooden panels and adhered with bookbinder’s glue) is contrasted with fact that the paintings are patch-worked together, in pieces ranging from 1 to 3 inches across. Each section has been been painted numerous times and layered over each other and each segment flows seamlessly into each other, creating a cohesive image.</p> <p><strong><a
