Official Web Page for Art of Warble

The birthplace of Warble has never truly been known, and his origins remain obscure. We can, however, let such idle histrionics lie where they may, for nothing or anything has an origin or an end. To begin, we should say that Warbles art emanates from the Grail, and idle chatter about time and space should be cast aside. In other words, let ones identity speak through the art, rather than in cheap measurements of time. Must everything be held to the ruler?

The Grail cycle and other such mythological tales are central to understanding what Warble would represent. The artist holds obsession with the lost cause, or, as in the Grail, the unattainable. It is the journey that matters, rather than the goal. As life reveals to us all, the attainment of an objective leaves little to be desired, especially when the process offers many fruits in transformation. This topic is the mainstay of Grail literature and the great body of medieval chivalric code in the collective unconscious. Warble holds this art aesthetic when approaching such stories as Parzival by Wolfram Von Eschenbach, Le Morte De Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory, and the chivalric body of works by Chretion De Troyes. And since he cannot be sued for these 700-800 year old works, it is nice to know that he can unashamedly represent them in the art.

Warble is 31 years old, and since time has no meaning here, you should laugh. Art is for all, and is token proof that we recycle nature into an ageless and cyclical prospectus, dulling the sickle that cheap novels and histories hand to the Reaper. Ha, let them claim their harvest, Warble lives in the City of Cambridge anyways!

The idea of pen and ink drawing excites Warble to no end. The works of Albrecht Durer, Aubrey Beardesly, Harry Clarke, and the genius of the Macdonald sisters have been obvious influences on Warble. Although he steals from them incessantly, as any artist with half a wit should, he could not, and should not ever replicate their great beauty. Warble takes his own spin on this artistic style, and creates an aesthetic from chivalric and medieval symbolism and literature. In Warbles way, Colors should be left to the imagination, and since most painters cannot see a good color (or anatomy for that matter) it if hit them in the backside, Warble knows his limitations and gladly steps aside. Hail black ink in all its glory, an amateur can wield gold with such dark matter!

To end this idle info-log, we can make one final point clear. A Warble is the shaky, yet beautifully warped sounds of birds. The artist never sought to command a sure line in drawing, as we see in many artists obsessed with commanding the obvious: realism. Let them be generals in the digital age, or an admiral on the slick sinking ship that would replicate everyday life, Warble would rather walk with Percival, wild in the forest.
