The Big Foldy Website of Death

My name is Ian Forbes and I have an MFA in Painting.
I paint, draw, and make things in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The starting position is imagination. Our imaginations effect the material world through Art, Science, Religion, Magic…. My work is eclectic – not unified by style or content. It is helpful look at these pieces as the Material Components of a Magical Operation; Art is the realm of the Magical, where anything is possible. So look at this seemingly random assortment of objects through the lens of imagination and see these creative acts building a bulwark against the forces of Evil.

Here are the various places I post things on the internet:

Fun Facts and Retweets

Part of being on the Internet is to rage at total strangers in impotent fury. Twitter seems to be unmitigated cesspool of vile hatred; but some of us are trying to make it marginally better.

I seem to post mostly in progress artwork with the occasional BLAST from the past. Also some random travel, beer and weird things. Follow me and I generally follow back if I remember.

My Soundcloud Feed

I like to make soundscape or ambient style electronic music using minimal equipment – mostly my Arturia Microbrute analog synth and Garageband. I’m currently working on music for our weekly RPG.
