Artist Spotlight - gunnar20

"A Losing Battle" - gunnar20

Today we bring you Nathan. An artist who has crafted over 80 pieces in less than a week. His work reflects his dark internal struggle which tends to manifest itself through a hopeless battle with a mighty dragon. He draws from his memory banks to tell the woeful tale of his broken spirit. His deviantART page says "Art is not my profession. I use it as a way to cope with my inner-self. We generally don't get along." Click below to see more of his work.



"Battle with the Dragon" - gunnar20

For all their weaponry, it is clear that this suicidal attempt will never bring back the warm light of the sun.


"The Dragon Winning" - gunnar20

Only the dead have seen the end of war.


"The Dragon Burning my Hopes and Aspirations" -gunnar20

Though he depicts the dragon destroying his dreams, the dragon is a metaphor for the dark maelstrom that is his own mind. It is not lost on us.


"The Dragon Ripping me Apart" - gunnar20

If he doesn't regain control of his pitch black soul, it will destroy him. It will devour him. And it will start with the legs.

"I'd Like to Get Along with the Dragon" - gunnar20

As do we all, Nathan. As do we all.
