Glen Curtis
Hey Glen (Silas) here. Welcome to my Orble Art School and Meet Up Bio!

I have been an art student since as long as I can remember! I began drawing inspired by my favorite cartoons. I loved the meditative quality of drawing and the freedom to create whatever I wanted. I grew and grew and began to create more and more realism! Art is an expression of inner self and total freedom. It's very tranquil and peaceful.

I drew for many years and only began painting in high school and college simply because the classes required it. For some reason I didn't think I'd like painting, boy was I wrong.

In recent years my love for art and fashion have collided and I've become increasingly fascinated with clothing Alteration and design!

Come along on this journey with me in creative growth!

I wanted to incorporate an antiquated look to an old story. I've always loved this image of a first nation warrior, so proud, strong, and dangerous. My 3 phase technique using florescent and glow in the dark paint gives the viewer 3 different looks with the help of a black light. And when you turn off the lights he's still there in the dark

Title or Location: Steam power.
This started off as an exercise in painting clouds on a stormy day. As the work developed my clouds looked increasingly like billowing steam so I thought I'd add a traction engine to the swirling steam. It's in acrylic on a 58 x 38cm acrylic board which is a good size to hone in on small details. I don't think there are many purple traction engines around but it seemed like a good idea at the time!

I love to bring out the natural beauty of color around me. It's a magical experience to paddle-board around Austin's ladybird lake and I wanted to try and capture some special moments from those times on the water. Hopefully people will also feel the same and take good care of the environment there and keep it clean and nice for everyone.

She sadly flew to the rainbow bridge 2 years ago. She lived on a working farm for her life and was a special member of the family.I used Faber Castell Pitt and Derwent pastel pencils to complete her on Art Spectrum Colourfix original pastel paper.

Living in the city of Philadelphia, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and dignity of old, no longer needed structures from the last two centuries. They appear to me almost as dinosaurs from the ancient past that need to be preserved on canvas before they disappear. This particular beast sits on the Delaware River, just beside the former Philadelphia Electric Company site. The whole place is being renovated (thankfully not torn down), so I wanted to make sure I captured it before it gets a f

This is an idealized image of my love for Mother Nature. It is a face in planes and looping curves with natural colors, mechanical forms, nature forms, symbols from my cultural background, flora and fauna forms. The bold outline is immediately recognizable, yet subtle when blended into the forms, parts of the human body are also recognizable and only as disproportionate as real life. Not exactly a traditional style but manifesting a streamlined pop and surreal modernism executed in a very sponta
