#introduceyourself ; Crazy Norwegian Artist Joins the Community :-)

ArtScrap.png

I loved to draw, paint and create things as a kid. I just recently found back to it, and it feels great to be creative again. To be an artist again.

Before my return to being an artist I was a corporate stooge for some years, and I also started a couple of failed business ventures. Doing a good portion of mistakes. Good for me I say today. Those mistakes taught me entrepreneurship. Something I gladly take with me as my path continues.

I get inspired by junk and scrap, and how I can give it new life. Creating crazy works of art. I am also very much into buying and selling antique and vintage treasures.

My artistry is all about Scrap, Art & Treasures.

I am just now starting up as an artist, and I very much need followers and admirers of my art.

The Crazy Person Artist

He`s right now 32, turning 33 this year. He creates all sorts of art, and mixes several genres... seemingly he has no boundaries, at the same time he also has no idea what he is doing. He paints on himself and on paper, takes photos and videos, creates art from raisin boxes and other crazy person art stuff.

Alright, enough third person talk.

Instead of writing and explaining who I am, let me show you through my art.

Story: The two candleholders was given to me as a gift back in 2009 by someone I knew while I was living in Thailand. Apparently my friend found this item on a flea market. He could not account for how much it was worth or how old it was. According to my friend it was made of ceramics.

I have tried to get the item dated and according to various experts it is approximately between 80-150 years
