I'm considering a new essay on Parsifal, Cassandra, and The Emperor (and his new clothes) as a metaphor for institutional silence.

I've got a working thesis and an abstract. This started as a commentary on The Fisher King, but it's expanded to all three

Dark fairy tales

Disturbing fairy tales

Grotesque fairy tales

Horrific fairy tales

Please stop. Folktales are, above all else, entertaining. Fun. Amusing.

After unnecessarily pushing him off the wall, the King urged a coalition of all the royal horses and men to put Humpty back together again.

I am very proud to announce I now have 50 different prints available on my website for purchase. They’re all limited edition, signed, and numbered 11x17” prints I actually print out at home on my own 8-color printer one by one.

https://coreyartusimagery.com/collections/art-prints

Each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, which I duplicate and sign literally on the back of each print so it’s always there.

I ship them in rigid flat mailers with chipboard inserts to prevent folding.

When I’ve printed thirty each at this scale, I won’t be printing any more of them at this size. I’ll still have them as greeting cards and maybe some smaller versions, but never this large again.

I think the 11x17" scale really shows off the texture and detail I work hard to achieve. I think the pieces I make look best at this size.

I’ll be adding more as I go along—I have so many pieces!! But I’m proud to offer these already. It has been a dream of mine to be able to do this for a long time. I think this is where my heart sings—what I’ve wanted to do since I decided to take the reins of my life and do the whole art thing a few years ago.

Onward!
