Every now and then 'true mythical creatures' from the human world invade the 'Dream World'. These creatures such as dragons, trolls, wizards etc, do not belong here. Nevertheless, they are all welcome, but it is expected that they will all be under surveillance for a while. They haven't forgotten the incident with the little dragon. It turned out he was allergic to feathers. The once beautiful town called 'Burnt to a crisp' was then burned to the ground after this dragon had a sneeze session.
My name is Ed Schaap, I was born in Sittard, Limburg, Netherlands in 1965. As a child, I already showed a penchant for fantasy and science fiction movies and series that were shown on television at the time. Especially around the time movies like Star Wars and Alien came out, I was fascinated and fascinated by this unknown world. As for the art that I create, I have to say that I have been influenced and inspired by certain artists and concept artists, but over time I have found my own way. The works that I create are, as a rule, subjects from history, myths and legends, as well as things from everyday life. I give my own vision. In the beginning I used an airbrush. At a certain point, I started to miss a few things in my work. While experimenting with the combination of brush and airbrush, I realized that the painterly effect of brushwork was the missing element in my work. With these two components together in my recent work I find the result satisfactory. Despite this result, I also started painting with oils. Here a completely new world opened up for me, for example, the colors obtained with oil paint are almost impossible to create with acrylic paint.
