Merry Xmas from Betelgeuse and Mintaka

Xmas Greetings from Betelgeuse and Mintaka!

As long as space endures,
And as long as sentient beings exist,
May I, too, remain
to dispel the misery of the world.

Fantastic art & fantasy art & surreal?

Not doubt I am an alien from the end of a rainbow.

A new dream

(My new digital painting - mixed media: traditional oil painting, photography, photo shop)


I would like to spend my life gazing at the stars up in the sky wondering about ………..it is a surreal painting, fantasy art, fantastic art, imaginary art.........

Mintaka out of the egg

Mintaka is awake for a few months by now and he grew up and changed his shape......and I forgot to tell you about this.
He looked at me today very upset and somehow sad and I had no choice than to promise him to put him online. And here he is, my sweet Mintaka with his funny-brush-like tail.
I didn't suspect an alien species of narcissism. Maybe he is already to long on Earth. Probably Jim had a bad influence over Mintaka. Ha......ha. It is not my influence on Mintaka, as an artist I am very humble of course. :-)))

Here he is, do you like him?

Mintaka, Kasia and sleepless night

©kbt 2008 -mixed media

I am painting millions paintings in my brain

I don't sleep. I can't sleep.

As a substitute for a sleep I imagine that I paint and

Indeed I am painting millions paintings in my brain.

I am dreaming and Mintaka is watching over me.

My brain creates millions images and impressions in my memory

My memory is trying to remember my dreams and my visions.

My hands are drawing the encoded scraps of the past reality in my sleepless grey matter -

the wonderful past reality of those nights when I had been painting millions painting in my brain.

Kenneth Clark & A Stick in the Mud...

I know this video has nothing to do with the Fantasy Art but nevertheless it has everything to do with Art.
And we are chatting here about art.

Kenneth Clark was an extraordinary man. With his passion for art, humans and his believe in the Goodness of homo sapience.

His TV program 'Civilisation: A Personal View' about art and in general the human civilisation was a very unusual one,a masterpiece.
"It is lack of confidence, more than anything else, that kills a civilisation. We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs."
