A very dear friend of mine, @matobago became a collector of my original artwork today. I installed "Once Bitten" in his house today, and helped him rearrange his other artwork to accommodate the new piece. I'm so happy to have a collector that fully understands and appreciates my work, but also looks for other depth in the work that helps him relate it to his own life. It's amazing what kind of emotion a zombie portrait can conjure. I'm lucky to have friends that are also collectors, and collectors that become friends. There is no greater feeling than to have someone fully appreciate what you do, enough to support it and want to own a piece of it. Thanks, Marcel! Prints of "Once Bitten" are available on shaneizykowski.com/shop (direct link in bio) #artsales #originalart #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #darkart #darkartsociety #horror #zombies #undead #artcollector #walkingdead #oncebitten #zombiebite #artinstallation

DM me for payment options! ------------------------------- "The Gift of Grievance" 2018 Oil on Masonite 34 x 36 x 1.5 in Framed & Varnished --- The superstition of opening an umbrella indoors spans across many cultures. While the origin is not completely agreed upon, some say it can be traced back to the Egyptians. Umbrellas were used mainly in Egypt to protect (mostly nobility or religious leaders) from the heat of the sun, not the rain, and were thought to ward off spirits who may do them harm. To open one inside or even in the shade would offend the Sun God. In Bulgarian culture, the only time to collect an even number of flowers is when you attend a funeral. And shoes placed on a table symbolize the death of a loved one, and can also be associated with contamination.

"The Visitors" Oil on Masonite Framed, 21 x 36 x 2 in Yet again, the image of the black cat appears in folklore, cultural beliefs and superstitions. Although, this appearance is oddly specific. In Romanian culture, if a cat cleans itself in your hallway, you can expect visitors. That notion could send shivers down your spine, when coupled with the idea that the visitors may have nefarious intentions. And even further than that, it is believed that photographing three people together could have dire consequences for the person in the middle. The person in the middle is said to be the one to die first. For generations, it is also believed that a photograph will steal your soul. #blackcat #superstition #superstitious #romanian #visitors #soulsteal #oilpainting #originalart #darkart #darkartsociety #sale #saleitems #artsales
