This is the work of Richard Stainthorp. Of the pieces below, the two that appeal the most to me are the falling woman, and the crouching angel, the latter of which I find to be particularly reminiscent of Paul Fryer’s piece ‘Morning Star’ – (one of the most favourite pieces to ever be perused by these wide eyes of mine) – that I featured in a previous ‘beady eye‘ post ‘Ascent into the Maelstrom’ (scroll to the bottom of the page to see the figure in question).
Enjoy.

The horned and seated lady with the rather large breasts I find the most appealing. Although the angel is quite spectacular.

Horny and buxom eh? She speaks well of you also Peter. Hahahaha, she is most comely indeed – I think he’s done a marvellous job if getting proportions correct and managing to give them all expressions of a sort too. Or so I find. He’s taken such a cold hard material and made it into something that looks so soft and pliable. Clever stuff.

Yes, well, you laugh, but I did at first start writing the sentence using horny.
And while one must admit she is well proportioned her feet are rather too large, or appear so. However, for the pedophiliac, (of which I must here make note, I take no special interest in feet beyond the norm, well, perhaps a bit more than norm) nonetheless these two large features might make a splendid combination for said sort.

But she doesn’t have feet, she has hooves, for she is a…hmm…fawn of sorts? So you’re average foot fetishist would be terribly disappointed as toes are the best part of the whole…er….sport?….laughs in their books so I’m told. I know one well – if a female wants to have an eye to eye conversation with him, they best not wear sandals or flip-flops I can tell you. Rolls her eyes and then goes and picks them up again.

Hooves, is it? Well, that does add a bit of a different twist to it now, doesn’t it. But they are rather large hooves. And perhaps that is a good thing. Not that I’m into hooves mind.

Technically impressive, although a bit too realist or literal for my own tastes. I might warm to them a little more once they rusted, which presumably they do? But then that makes me sound like Salad Fingers. 😮

Well, once again, and as I suspect you know well, the spoon holder and the banana are somewhat stating the obvious. They need to move in different circles, one in which the artistic mind is free to paint the chair from the inside, always asking the question ‘what is it like to be a chair?’, and pale-faced existentialists pontificate upon purple sofas whilst half-moustachioed men recline in fish tanks:

For nearly a quarter of an hour I went back and forth with myself over the question of whether it proper or not for me, or anyone (though, truth be told, no one else entered into my thought process other than myself for that full fifteen minutes), to leave in a comment section a personal story having only the most tenuous of connections to the subject of the post appearing above. My conclusions were as follows. First, for posts featuring artwork it is permissible to leave almost any comment (excepting those overly filled with profanities and attacks upon social mores) as it is believed by a good deal of those who think about such things to be the purpose of art to inspire thoughts within the mind of the viewer (though, truth be told another fucking time, this is not as easy as one may think) and, furthermore, for that viewer (full of thoughts) then to go on to inspire others in return. Secondly, I am almost certain that most everything I do is a blessing upon those lucky enough to be aware of it. So, my story…
An acquaintance of mine ( his name I will not mention but to say it is the same as a land in which a Wizard exposed by a dog pulling back a curtain lived) who was (I say ‘was’ as I have had no contact with him for some time, and there is every chance he could no longer be existing on this physical plane of being), in comparison to most adult males, of a diminutive stature, and, as he was fully aware of this fact he would, from time to time, attempt to assure those who bothered to listen that if the need arose that he fight someone over something he could definitely hold his own, if not ultimately prevail, in the battle due to the fact that he was, as he described, “wiry”.

You – can come again. (The former is a colloquialism coined in the northern districts of the land the Cloud hovers over at present, close to mountainous areas, and is used to denote an element of affection, (nothing saucy nor inappropriate , don’t be getting excited or calling the newspapers/taking out a restraining order) and pleasure – it indicates that the subject, (in this case The President and Founder – in as much as you, you there!), is most definitely the finest of company, or/and is a boon entertainment-wise or indeed otherwise, as wise as such activities can be, or indeed a boon can be, for we all love a good boon of an evening don’t we? I know I do.)
I’m not sure that Wizards being exposed by dogs should be taken as an example of activities that please me mind you, and would like that to be noted by all and sundry, though, if you do happen to have any photographs of said incident I’d be interested to view them, for research purposes in connection to….a…secret…er…project.

As I was looking back (thoughtfully) over the images above it somehow entered my mind that the magazine the figure was perusing was of a pornographic nature, and, as leaning in close to the screen and squinting did not determine for me without a doubt that this was the case I then enlarged the image and, to my relief, being that this piece ( I imagine) was on display in a public space where young impressionable minds may wander freely (secured inside of the heads of their owners of course, and those heads attached to the rest of their bodies) discovered that my suspicion concerning the contents of the magazine was completely unfounded.

Not at all, it is yet another example of the many angles art can be viewed from and The President and Founder himself, in an earlier comment, focuses upon it. i’m glad to have shared it with you M.M.G smiles
