Captivity and Freedom by KunstFeuer

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:38:18 -0000

There are types of captivity, but the type that abounds today comes from addiction and abuse. Our actions in life do one of two things; they bind us or they make us free. By making the correct choices we can continue to grow, progress, and live unhindered by cumbersome baggage. It will not always be easy, but it will create a freer, more complete life. If we constantly chose things that drag us down, we find ourselves stumbling along in an ungainly, jarring fashion. Like the horse, they move forward, but without grace or finesse and with more effort and trial than another who gives to the subtle pressure and gentle guidance of a knowing hand. While it might initially be viewed as a restriction, the guidance received allows the horse to move with more fluid grace and balance than initially thought possible. Not only does he become graceful, fluid, and balanced on the ground, but carrying the extra weight of a rider, the burden of another, he moves effortlessly.

Zaub by KunstFeuer

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 18:00:03 -0000

A trio of Zaub, the top one is Dunst colored using the Chunky Oil Pastels, the middle one is Achtung, "painted" with the Wet Round Gouache, and the bottom one is a random Zaub done using the Pastel tools. The Zaub are one of the three main intelligent species on Tae-Kahn and have what is called the "Zaub Gift" or Kech (those that have it are called Kechen). Virtually all Zaub are Kechen, which means they are able to manipulate elements, such as, in Dunst's case, Silver. Zaub, Dunst, and Achtung are the intellectual property of CERT Image © CERT

Sunrise by KunstFeuer

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 19:39:39 -0000

Large pastel drawing of Troech taking a moment to watch the sun rise. It looks more impressive in person, I assure you. I also wanted to put more time into this, but other things are pressing.
