Hehe, I didn’t think of that as grotesque or even art! just a holiday punch – must make it again this year the link is here if others are interested.

The painting in this post is probably the most grotesque of all my grotesque works, it is about my struggle with eating disorders. I would like to do more along this line but it is quite disturbing to do as well, quite emotional. but sometimes they are the best too!

Please excuse me — I meant to say (in the second sentence), “All I’ve seen of the grotesque in your work is the photo titled ‘Halloween Party 2005 – 1.’”

Best wishes.

Hi there –

Beauty and grotesque. Interesting parallel. all i’ve seen of your paintings are beautiful — the only thing i’ve seen is the photo titled “Halloween Party 2005 – 1.” The comparison is centuries old, and still, as far as I can see, a basic drive in ALL art.

Please understand, I DO NOT consider myself an artist: I am an admirer of art. As a lover of the the dark and the macabre, I am not sure I fully understand YOUR distinction. I would be VERY interested in viewing more of your work. I am unable to travel, but if we could establish a dialogue, possibly allowing me to see more of your work in digital format, I would be very grateful.

Again, I wish for a dialogue, hopefully one in which i could contribute something useful. I am a gay man, happily partnered, but also a lover of the female form.

I would enjoy your comment. Be Well.

Sincerely,

–Puck
