MY WORK FEATURED IN THE RUE MORGUE 200th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

I am stoked to have been featured in the
200th Anniversary Issue of RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE for May/June 2021.
On June 16th I got a surprise in the mail. Back in February/March I was asked by British writer Rich Johnson (who also writes for Fangoria Magazine) if I would like to see my work published. We had some conversations via email, eventually I almost forgot about it. Then this package arrived, with two complimentary copies. Well written, it got down to the gist of what we talked about.
The magazine article centered on a signature work of mine that I had published before already on this blockchain (a couple of times, most recently): DETERIORATION OF MIND OVER MATTER - below I will add images for the artworks, but as a title image, here is a detail from one of the paintings featured:

Since this was published, I had additional conversations with the writer, Rich Johnson. On the Magazin comment page I had already left a comment of thanks for the feature:

My latest email in reply:

I mentioned before, in my posts on Social Media, that this article was well written and encapsulated in concise form the many conversations we had about my background and experiences. It captured particularly the early childhood influences from the post-war period in my hometown Vienna that were certainly a big subconscious influence in my work, particularly my early work of my mature period once I had settled in Canada. The artists that influenced me the most had similar memories from their past, with Ernst Fuchs being 14 years, and H.R. Giger 4 years older than me. Even someone 3 years younger, Gottfried Helnwein, had still experienced the scars of this post-war period in Vienna, where he studied at the Academy I had visited often as a teenager to observe the students there.

The seventies and eighties in Canada were probably the most productive, but since returning to Vienna in 2011 (to stay) I had again been very active, working in my studio. There is now a emphasis on drawing in my more recent work.
