Paintings giveaway

Here are the paintings that I’m giving away. Yes, they’re all FREE. However, you need to come pick them up from my place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Why am I doing this? Mainly because I need to make room for future work and also simply because I can and I like making my art available for free.

Let me know which one(s) you want. First come, first serve!

There are few self-portraits too, but I doubt that anyone would want those 😛

Don’t Break the Ice Claimed by Presley Thompson

Tread lightly, for that is me you step upon, walk upon, skate upon

Let me freeze, my blood is cold.

Let me go.”
— Engel Schrei

I Want to Tear Down the Walls that Keep me Inside Claimed by Karly B

This painting portrays an internal struggle that happens when a person considers the possibility of taking the risk to follow her dream.

She knows that it is a journey marked with struggles and hardship, but she can’t help to wonder what would it be like to live that life fueled by passion.

U2’s song “Where the Streets Have No Name” was the inspiration for this painting.

Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

And wash away
What I’ve done”
