Art that was left behind
An early portrait, from the Earth’s early 90s. This is Bleeb, one of my first clients. This sitting was actually a family portrait, with each member having their own canvas just like this. I remember I also did a painting of their feet - they were going to hang them in their dwelling next to each other. Bleeb and his family were very simple, nice entites. The rest of the family picked up their portraits on time, with full payment, but Bleeb was not with them. They said they weren’t sure where he was, that his address changed with no forwarding address. Seems strange, but obvi I can’t drive around looking for him. My first intergalactic ghosting.
This entity, Sareth, asked that I paint their portrait as if they were on their home planet - they showed me a picture of what it looked like where they lived, and I think I did a respectable job. I guess they weren’t able to travel to their home planet as much as they would like, so it was kind of a keepsake for them. There were so many layers to this entity that made it challenging to paint, but I think I got the overall essence. Sareth was tall and strong, and also wispy. It’s been two years since I did this painting, so there might still be a chance they will come and claim their painting!
This is a family portrait. The entities pictured were unable to breathe our air, so they transported, and also stayed, in a glass chamber. Their dynamic was very loving and calm; their only challenge was trying to stay still in a liquid like substance. But we got it done. Evidently there were some issues with them travelling back to this dimension due to some long term traffic construction in their local black hole. I guess travel construction is annoying not just in my neighborhood, but universally!
I really liked this little guy - he only spoke in one tone, with like a horn sound. Evidently, his planet language is a tone pattern, not differences in sound waves like ours. But we communicated just fine I thought. I heard through the grapevine that he thought I made his head too big. Which, you know, whatever, entities are all different. A big head is nice. Maybe he got teased in school about it or something - but hey little guy, you still owe me big money for your big head.
Who is this masked entity? This was a pretty challenging portrait - an entity who had so much energy surrounding them, it was hard to get a good read on their face. They liked the portrait, but couldn’t make their pickup time, with no excuse at all. I heard that they may have gotten a new job in a different galaxy, but for real - no PTO?
Some entities breathe, some entities excrete some type of bubbles for sustenence. You get used to seeing differnt types of friendly faces, and this was one of them. Graneth, the portrayed, asked that I include her pet entity, which was a circular floating black hole. It was a great session, and I was happy to meet her. Graneth was employed as a field operator, and although we tried to reach her several times, her contact information had changed.
A face of a thousand colors. This lovely entity would blend into their background, so we thought it might be fun to put them in front of a very colorful background, to see what we got. And this is the result! This painting is from the 2000s, so there’s not much chance of it being picked up. I don’t even remember why they didn’t come back!
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and this is one that I did for the Tricketenol family. They were both expecting. I’m pretty sure they have a large family, and were unable to make the trip back to pick up their artwork! Totally understandable. This was done this year, so as long as they get here in the next 30 years, I’ll have it saved for them.
