On the Side
The Start of Something…

Well, I started this tumblr account to document and encourage some concepts and projects that I would like to work on in the near future. I want to start an annual art project separate and or different from my paintings. I am going to also attempt to document my projects in farming and brewing here.

Short list of project ideas:

Chess set(each piece and board designed and sculpted by hand)

Graphic Novel

Stop motion animation(I have worked on one before and it was a ton of fun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvNxeqXQwLM)

About me:

I love to paint and here is a my “about me” line from my website.

===============

I was born in Fairfax Virginia and spent my childhood in the suburbs of Washington DC, the mountains of West Virginia, and the gulf coast of Florida.  After receiving my MFA from the University of Central Florida, I established a studio on a family farm in the Appalachian Mountains.  

My fascination with marmots or groundhogs as they are more commonly known originated with my move to the “Con Place”, the family farm settled six generations ago in Ashe County, North Carolina.  Groundhog spotting from the front porch has been a shared family pastime that I fell into without any hesitation and has inspired my most recent Megalomarmot series.

I am heavily influenced by the artworks of Peter Paul Rubens, Eugene Delacroix and Henry Fuseli.

By fusing classical imagery with passions and vicissitudes of the contemporary world, I create images that are riddled with both overt and subtle humor. These paintings are intended to illuminate the futility of guilt and frustration we encounter in the struggle for identity and meaning by arousing laughter, indignation, curiosity, and finally recognition.

More than a line really. My artwork can be found on my website www.henryschreiber.com .

Input is welcome.

Thanks for stopping by,

-Henry
