The Comforts of the Creator

“There’s a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milkshake, and you can go off to strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner.” – David Lynch

What magic happens behind the horse blinders of routine? The chair is in the corner. And the dust on the countertop remains undisturbed. A place of meditation and mediation between the left brain and the right.

The nonchalance of home lends itself to sublime expressions, hidden between breakfast, the bathroom, and sleep. Meditative gifts that come straight from the synapses, ready to be snatched and exploited.

Our personal environments may seem alien to others, even hostile. The air we breathe is our own. And, through the work we put out, we offer onto others shallow breaths of our own homely id. Not all may find them palatable but that’s the beauty of the game we play.

Home is not where the heart is. Home is where dreams are made.

Messy Corner of Home

Messy Corner of Home by Jocelyn

Gouache on canvas [25cmX30cm]

I spend a lot of time cleaning up this corner in my home and the laundry basket always overflows. This is home: messy, untidy, where endless housework has to be done but also filled with familiar and special things.

Jocelyn

Based on “Daydreaming” by Radiohead

Daydreaming by Paul

Acrylic and Gouache on Arches [21″ x 28.5″] 2018

This painting is based on Radioheadâ€™s Daydreaming music video and their album art. The meaning of the video seems open to interpretation but I saw it as Thom Yorke walking through many doors in search for what is or what was his unattainable solace or home.

The Frida Kahlo Lamp

The Frida Kahlo Lamp by Piya

The Frida Kahlo Lamp by Piya

Acrylics (spray, markers)

I didn’t have the heart to throw away this old lamp that was bought by my mother so I decided to give the floor lamp some TLC and work on it, so I started to paint the lampshade first. I gave it a white base coat and then started to paint lovely objects on it like flowers, cactuses, hearts, and some images of Frida Kahlo (because I adore her!).

After I finished painting, I could not see any stains or rust anymore and the old floor lamp became brand new and shines brighter than ever, and has a stunning decoration piece in our home!

Kitchen in Bangkok

Kitchen in Bangkok by Ban

Pentel brush pen and Winsor & Newton watercolor on Moleskine paper.

Recently I left Thailand and returned back to South Korea. I like the place where I used to live in Bangkok for three years. I felt cozy and relieved in that small place. I decided to paint this piece before leaving, to keep my memories of my life there.

Home

Home by Shen

Procreate on IPad Pro

I love reading books and when I’m immersed in stories, it feels like that’s the world I belong to.

Suitcase

Suitcase by Elizabeth

Digital art – Sept 2020

I feel that you always take a little bit of home with you wherever you go. Therefore I made a suitcase that represents traveling, and the little house on it represents home.

Home is a Feeling, Not a Place

Home is a Feeling by Venky

Digital ( Autodesk Sketchbook) – Duration : 1hour

It is very difficult for me to feel at home in one place. But I have had several instances where I felt at home. So to me, Home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling of peace, of arriving and trust towards the environment to provide the same.

Venky

Home is Where the Horror is

Home by Boris

Digital art – CLIP STUDIO PAINT.

I’ve always wanted to paint a scary house and with Halloween in October it was the perfect opportunity to do so. I started with dark values to get that eerie atmosphere and added the colors and effects. I’m still learning to use colors but if it looks scary in black and white, it’ll look scary in color.
