I would think it goes without saying, but nevertheless, given how blogs go on and on, I suppose I should make it clear, that all text or photos are copyright by me upon posting. Dan's Myth, that is. Unless I state otherwise. Just doing my thing. My writings at times, may be dark, or sarcastic and acidic. I do try to throw some romance into the mix. But I wish no harm to anybody. That is the best I can come up with as far as disclaimers go. Don't steal suff.Thanks a lot.
Beuys was very interesting, and as you say, strange. I was directly influenced by one of his remarks, which was "Show your wounds"...I began making slides of my own blood...but that is another story!
I can see that you would like the sense of fantasy in his work...you might also like Roger Dean, or Frank Frazetta....Dean did a lot of fantasy album covers in the 60's and 70's and Frazetta's work often made the covers of fantasy and sci-fi novels...I think of these kinds of works as "magic realism". They depict in a way some magical or other-worldly realm, and they are painted in a very precise and realistic manner!

I've always like Beuys. Strange but cool.
This painting is great.
You have such a talent!
Do you know Sahm? I love his stuff!

Cool - will have to check them out whenever we get a house and I have some walls where you can actually hang some frames :)
This is beautiful.
Thank for comments...many of the things depicted in the drawing are associations with the life of Beuys and some aspects of his work.
