Karl Fjellstrom, owner / creator / designer / super hottie / person who is writing this product blurb, has broken free of his year long hiatus and busted out a new series of paintings: including this one entitled "Medicate". It is 100% awesome, as Fjellstrom takes photos of his friends and lovers for reference, draws them out onto had stretched canvas and then painted them using real brushes and oil paints just like the old skool' masters of the renaissance era. There is no digital transfers or photo manipulation in the execution of these crazy real works of art. Karl is drawn to the mystery and beauty of the human form, particularly faces, nice lighting, ad depth-of-focus (a attribute used in photography where an object appears in sharp focus while another is all blurry). With his patented "extreme cropping" method of composing compositions, Fjellstrom adds to the ambiguity of his images as you are not quite sure what is going on. The meaning or feeling is left up to the viewer. This canvas measures a massive 41 x 15 x 4. It is much thicker in depth than most traditional canvases, giving it a more sculptural quality. Since these are original one of a kinda paintings, they are non-returnable or refundable. Images is copyrighted under Fjellstrom 2008 and any reproduction will force the artist to take the criminal to the smack down hotel. . . For purchase information, please call 206.749.9167 or email
