- Full version of Abarat - The Artist's Passion by Graydon. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the art for Abarat right before the release of Abarat 2: Days of Magic, Nights of War. Keep a close eye on some of the paintings!
Love Clive Barker, his genius and talent is absolutely unique. A rare gem of an artist indeed.
This man,in my humble opinion is a genius. Brilliant novelist, artist,producer, director, just insanely talented, and his whole body of work especially his art and writing is so original. To top all of this off he's a very nice man.About 20 years ago I wrote to him at an la address requesting an autograph. After a while an index card and letter arrived, with clive profusely apologising for the delay, which didn't bother me in the slightest, I was so happy to have his signature. I have every book he's written and all of his films as both producer and director.
"Everything is gloriously imperfect"
-Clive Barker
Clive Barker's talent as a painter and writer is unparalleled.
I recently started painting after decades ov waiting. I hear Clives voice each time I paint, espc his advice from the master class here on youtube. Ty Clive for all ov your artistic contributions.
Clive Barker is an amazing artist.
God I love Clive Barker.
Getting a bit worried about when Kry Rising, the 4th book of Abarat, will be released. Even the Wikipedia pages has stopped posting dates for it and just omits it from his biography. I hope he's okay.
Fear not, KC! From www.clivebarker.info/intsrevel34.html : "And finally, I’ve been working on the Abarat books, the two remaining Abarat books. The room I’m sitting in at the moment has piles of handwritten manuscript which is obviously Deep Hill, which I guess is now about 1,200 pages of handwritten stuff, and hundreds and hundreds of Abarat illustrations, so what I’m trying to do right now is go through these many illustrations and obviously the paintings here which have not yet been seen and I can start to put them together with Abarat Four which needs one more draft, otherwise it’s finished [...] Here I am facing Book Five, the final book of Abarat and it is huge. It’s huge in terms of its narrative, it’s huge in terms of its number of characters, it’s huge in the way I want to wrap it up. I want to make sure that all the questions people ever asked (...) all those questions are answered."
@@FrF Thank G-- er, The Cenobites for this!
Legit just put a smile on my face!
Haven’t started reading the Abarat books yet, but that’s good to know, even if it’s been 3 years since then. Would hate to start the series and then not be able to read the next one.
Those blinking eyes on the painting had me go back three times to be sure!
This man was a prodigy child of the bizarre and terrifying in both writing and art.
15:18 - "What matters is there's something in you, which is unique to you. And that's the only thing that matters. Not being the next Clive Barker, not being the next Stephen King, not being the next Stephen Spielberg - whatever. What matters is being the next whoever you are - the only, whoever you are - and right or wrong, I'm the only Clive Barker."
I am you and you are love, and that's what makes the world go round...fantastic!
A genius!
He is incredibly imaginative. I think he may be right about channeling from other realms. It seems as if he has that ability.
He truly is a brilliant surrealist.
He is a modern-day William Blake.
Abarat means warm tears in my language.
What language is that?
It’d be nice to see Clive do paintings in the same sort of format that Bob Ross did his paintings, maybe even come out with his own show like Ross. Wonder what Clive’s thoughts were on Bob Ross.
Thank you
Very nice work.
J'aimerais tellement discuter, ne serait-ce qu'une heure, avec cette personne.
He sure loves those cigars
12:44 the eyes blink.
I have yet to read Abarat but sound great.
Abarat is fantastic. It's a "riot of color and weirdness" according to the interviewer from Trashotron, and he's right. It's a great mix of plot twists, colorful characters, imaginative environments, outrageous action etc. etc.
Unfortunately, like many of Barker's works (Scarlet Gospels, Galilee, The Art series) he hasn't finished the series which started in 2002. He's got 3 of the 5 books published and part 3 "Absolute Midnight" ended on such a strange cliffhanger I cannot wait until he finally releases part 4.
Attention fellow youtubers: I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous comment. It has recently been brought to my attention that my comment was received as negitive, ignorant, and a form of gay bashing. Also, informed that I had been misinformed about mr. Barker having AIDs. I was wrong to make assumptions based on rumor. Also as I said to the viewer who brought this to my attention, I was happy to learn that the rumor was untrue..
He's pretty hot,sucks he's married!! His paintings are amazing!
vodkagal28 yass he is hot
No, he’s not. Picture me saying that in the voice of the guy in phantasm. Haha
Can you buy his paintings?
Isn't the music in the beginning form a porn movie series on the internet? I swear to God i reconnize the music from porno!
Yes, it's the same stock music from a extremely famous Sasha Grey skit.
What's the title of that skit? For research purposes of course.
I think that mr.Barker is a beautiful, talented, intelligent, and kind man. I love him, and only said it was a shame he's gay, because he is attractive in many ways including physically.
I was not expecting that accent
@relictheseer 12:47 and 12:50
Did the painting blink?
@ 12:44
Temporal yes
I love Abarat books. Never before have I experience a book like this, Not just on the writing and world creation level. But the illustration on the book as well. Shame I won't get the 3rd book in the same way the first 2 does :(
Why won't you get the 3rd book in the same way?
@@KCHunter Its a bit complicated but let me try to put it this way:
- The first two volume are release on 2002 and 2004.
- In my country there are one publisher brought a copyright and translation right on these books.
- These books they are publishing are done in such a very fantastic manner, Hardcover, Gloss text paper, Full color with all the original illustration. Through and through, A collectible quality. Exact to the original print.
- The market and landscape of "reading a book" in my country had been change since after 2010s and I doubt the publisher would do the same quality as they did back then or worst, translating it.
- Meaning it will be harder to get to and the price would be more expensive as well.
* I might be able to acquire the original book, But I would love to have a translation one.
At the time I posted this comment, O wa
First time I've seen artwork of him and it's such a letdown knowing the covers of his books being interesting.
He"s a much better writer than a painter, we can agree to disagree. His art is not imaginative at all, and there are concept artists who are in obscurity that do a better job. He should stick to writing books and doing movies and being less questionable in his devotion to Christianity; which he claimed to be but I'm sceptical of him being not heterosexual.
Being gay and Christian is a paradox and not possible.
After you.
You're a hateful person and I won't stoop to your level. If there's someone who'se critical of Christianity it would be me. Fact is that in America a lot of people give it a bad reputation. There's lot's of hypocrites in that country who claim to be what they're not, using it as a façade to further a very different agenda or for other dubious reasons. It must also be more difficult to comprehend the importance of Christianity for maintaining Europe's legacy if you weren't born there. I agree with the notion that people should not play God. Not in science or other areas, it's usually human hubris th at would lead to such explorations, not the search for God, living purely and concentrated toward what matters, as millions directed themselves before through history. Christianity has never and will never be about hatred toward other people. Not even toward muslims. It's about drawing strength from your faith. It's about having a center and living from that center. When you go to court and are faced with a judge who will sentence you for being an idiot then he will want to objectively sentence you and ask himself about God in that position.He wants to make the right decision about what your punishment should be but he's not alone in that decision. There may be judges with no faith today, but as described is how it always went before and how it's still happening today.
There's nothing wrong with homosexual people. Usually there are psychological reasons that led them to become this way. Usually a meek father figure with no strength to attain from. In previous decades these people were taught by society to learn to restrain themselves. Some became priests and suppressed it until they overcame it.
I don't care how this evolved in america but the country has been progressive from the beginning it was founded. The statue of liberty represents this and the entire country has to thank the French Revolution for it.
Still gays and transsexuals - people such as yourself as it's unclear if you're male or female or maybe an eunuch - should have some standard of dignity and rise above themselves not becoming gays or transsexuals. It's a crime against nature and always leads to natural selection's final coup de grâce. A society should never encourage feminization of men from childhood onward. Only one as warped and female-dominated through all strata could normalize the abnormal and celebrate the degenerate.
My European ancestors knew the nature of the beast called humanity, they knew so much already and shaped this model for society throughout Christianity. A timeless way of life with no testament to the transitory.
Modernity has only shown failure and opened up a whole plethora of cesspools that were kept closed by Christianity and kept degeneracy in a headlock with it's societal grip. As of 2016 there has been no valuable new paradigmn presented only nihilism no matter how you turn it. Christianity is non-negotiable.
This is why I don't like the average american. So uneducated and vulgar, anti-intellectual. Obviously you never explored true Christianity but a sensationalized American interpretation in line with the american mindset. Extremely superficial. In Europe and Russia Christian disciples, practitioners of the faith are normal people who are generally rational and not the freakshows generated in the usa.
Your mindset is so lacking and one-sided it causes you to project all your ignorance and stupidity on this blank canvas here. Typical american. Concepts as heaven and hell should never be taken too literally, a lot is made of parable and metaphor. Only ridiculous americans take it to ridiculous extremes and that only represents america, not genuine Christianity. For degenerates such as yourself and your peers in america it must be trendy to be so spiteful to the moral dichotomy and the judgement of your decadent choices.
You want no responsibilty and shun it because you're too weak to bear the burden Christianity brings with it.
You would rather live a degenerate than a just life. You would rather live in lies than gaze upon the truth and the truth is there's more to life than we can perceive with the naked eye. There is a spiritual truth and to find it one must redirect himself (or herself) to tap into that consciousness.
The visions of Clive Barker are very interesting because they show something that's underneath consciousness, a darkness that exists within some people and through art can be outpoured.
Where does that come from, what is the origin of this space? When you can be open-minded this can be analysed so it's not about good and evil per se. I wrote this for others to read to show a Christian mindset can be intellectual and not judging of everything as either good or evil. No more words to waste upon you.
Also, I'm 13, so we'll see how God reacts to you saying all these hateful and terrible things to a child.
+Landen Taylor
I find your total ignorance and view that there is no God utterly disturbing. Coming from a 13 year old makes it even more scary
That picture blinked at 12 : 45 !! wtf
Oh god Clive what happened to your voice? How many cigars did you smoke?
what happened to his voice
He had polyps in his throat, so he had them removed via operation. It made his voice raspy.
ive just started writing short stories again and more then anyone it was Clive who inspired me
Gordinaus Lupenington de Loccia thanks for being interested . but no i actually wrote it on paper . im not to trusting of my computer about saving stuff lol . but i am thinking about recording a audio book of it once i get it all done . then if i have time im making a short film .
Bro. The Books Of Blood...
Keep writing 🙏🏻
I love this man! Clive Barker has been my favorite author since I was 13. I’m 36 now and love him even more. ❤️❤️❤️
Bookhangoverz I was 15, found Clive, am 37 now. I completely understand my friend.
i like the way this video maker made the carion's eyes blinking at 12:45, 12:47 and 12:51, i thought i was imagining things hehehe
such a great painter clive is, and i love Abarat
That was so freaky
11:14 Kaspar Wolfswinkel blinked at me!
I saw it too😐
Genius!
I have visited his website and there are thousands of artworks and paintings!
THOUSANDS!!! literally! and each and every artwork is an individual masterpiece.
I never realised that these artworks are so LARGE!!!
CLIVE BARKER the name is associated TOO much with hellraiser series and candyman and that is a SHAME that CLIVE BARKER the ARTIST & PAINTER has never received world recognition.
there is nothing less in his paintings than any other great masters of fine art.
Clive Barker is such a creative inspiration....I just have to watch this video every so often....just to hear his parting words right at the end about being unique! An Awesome Dude!
100%.
What an illuminating look at one of the most original and unique author/artists I've ever had the privilege of being turned on to. His Abarat books, while intended and classified as being part of the young adult genre are equally appealing to me as an adult. Having the additional pleasure of having these paintings go with the book adds an incredible dimension to it. When I first heard there were paintings that accompanied the work, to be honest I was a little worried that by having actual pictures in the book it would remove my ability as the reader to entertain my own imaginative view of the world and its characters. My fears and doubts proved completely unfounded. Not only does the art bring out the book in ways I could have never imagined, it offers a kind of intimacy to the reader with incite into the characters and the places that makes them living and breathing. I was so happy to get sucked into this world. Thank you Clive Barker, and we can't wait to see the paintings you've been working on for the third book, Absolute Midnight, and we can't wait to read the fourth book. But I won't say hurry up or rush it. I trust your genius and however long it takes, I'm patient and willing to wait. Thanks for touching the world with your art and literature and being willing to share it with me and countless others!
Yes there can be only one Clive Barker but sometimes Quiddity and Abarat feel like they are places I've visited in dreams..there IS and only ever will be one me but it amuseses me that the collective subconcious (I think..I'm not quite arrogant enough to believe only myself and Clive Barker visit these places nocturnally!, it really makes me think about the spiritual, dream life..Clive Barker has such a talent for capturing these elements of ephemera and putting them into his amazing work. I just love it he"s the best of the best!
I have also so some of the creature in my dreams.
humans used to be eaten by wild beasts. humans used to not understand the mechanisms of the world. it was confusing and hostile.
having such elements in nightmares are preparations for a primitive reality. our lifestyles have evolved, but our brains? our MINDS?
maybe our nightmares aren’t preparing us for modern reality.
maybe even our emotions aren’t. stress is killing people in the modern world, because stressful situations are no longer a two minute scrap with a tiger or swooping bird. now your stresses last months, and they have no claws or eyes to see. it puts our bodies into paranoia as though there is a literal unseen enemy, when really it’s an abstract concept like the IRS.
maybe the reason so many people feel that their emotions are wrong, is because they are? because we aren’t built for the world we’re building? what if we are making the human experience obsolete, and suffering for it?
Clive is a master of horror. He's been an inspiration for my own music and artwork.
Incidentally, ten years ago I was treated for a huge noncancerous brain tumor that robbed me of my left-side hearing-a particularly nasty form of torture for a musician. One of the guys that operated on me was Dr. Barker (Chouinard)! Needless to say, I've never been quite the same since then!......strange.....surreal.....nightmarish.....;-)
Clive Barker. My all time favourite author. Long may you live and keep creating these wonderful worlds. I always preferred my nightmares to more ordinary dreams and you have been the one who came closest to actually charting or depicting the worlds in my (and many other's) dreamtime. Just do one more thing for me..finish the Books of the Art...I'm running out of time!
We all are..
These paintings are awesome just like his books! He is such a genius!
Clive Barker is just fantastic I love this guy
This was a special feature on a fangoria dvd featuring short films. After seeing this I went out and bought the book. I got hooked, then bought Days of Magic, Nights of War. I have Absolute Midnight but haven't read it. Can't wait until they're all released.
actually, that was proven to be nonsense; a claim made by the ex spouse that had no basis.
I prefer the young Clive Barker to the way he is now. I don't think he writes that much anymore, spends most of his time painting.
Holy mother of god Kaspar Wolfswinkel blinked at me!
Are those knifes used for cooking or painting ?
Clive Barker: yes .
Did anyone else notice that one of his paintings blinked?
Super creative and imaginative!! I love it!
I love the Abarat books, and it would make the most amazing movie/movies. Imagine the creatures and characters in the book brought to life on screen.
His art is so shocking, like it is from another world👽 it's absolutely stunning!! He's voice is also from another world🤖
i love that book so much. thank you for making amazing imagination on my head
He's a god!
Go seek help
Imajica - the film. With today's effects, it would be quite some movie beyond words.
I was thinking that he'd be well paired with a woman. Though I still feel that way, I realise after reading one of his twitter posts, that he can't help being who he is and that it shouldn't matter anyway.
I'm 99 percent "Straight", but I find Clive Barker around this time to be magnificently sexy.
The other day I decided to pick up my watercolour pencils to make a painting with water. I never do art, but I discovered I must have been inspired by Mr. Barker's work.
Didn't anyone else clock the trollface? Lol. Life is strange, forreal.😁👻🎊🎉🎊🎉🌟✨✨✨
Always loved his books - had no idea he was such an amazingly prolific painter - what a great talent and inspiration he is!
Love this man so much!
Hope to finally get the third Art some day.
10:59 Kasper Wolfswinkel was the first painting. Fascinating. I loved that part of the book and the twist with his hats.
yeah,he was married to a guy,and I'm a chick.
I absoulotley adore this book! Who knows what my life would be like now if I hadn't read it!
2005 I watched this after military school it was a really nic movie
His paintings are awesome ❤ I love the atmosphere there.
I don't care what anyone says this guy is a vampire
11:18 Gah! That scared the crap out of me!
What happened to his voice? Cigars?
The blinking got me 😂👍
A really lucky man.
Well said.
Genius.
Hr giger vs barker oh thats a tough one...
Two different world builders, both macabre..
To me Giger's world is rather sick and twisted. Barker's world is just wondrous, even when he is portraying very evil characters or sitations, indeed like a dreamworld. If we could enter dreams and walk around in them, my mouth would be agape in Barker's and I would be petrified, no doubt, but also thrilled and excited. Giger's world I'd just want to get away from as fast as I f'in could, seriously. That guy is seriously messed up.
A Remix from Clive Barkers "JERICHO" would be awesome, for me as Gamer !
This game was criminaly underratted !
I loved it .
thank you for the video. I'm reading Abarat now for the first time. I'm obsessed. Love Clive Barker.
No, he has or had what is known as polyps in his throat and has had numerous amounts of surgery to remove them.
wait, this is THE Clive Barker, the writer of the Book of blood? man, I sure have been out of the loop...
Krobilad hell yeah bro, book of blood is an awesome bunch of stories!!
K.C. Hunter, sculptor David Richardson here. I just finished my newest video "Richardson Studio meets Clive Barker", please have a watch. Cheers my friend.
🐇🕳
scarlet gospels anyone? when can we get out hands on this shit. ABARAT is amazing but come on! i need that book!
Very cool. His voice is this way I presume due to fumes from art like the eye patch to Dale Chihuly. The voice and tone of artful dedication.
1:13
The picture at 11:13 blinked. Seriously... did Clive notice that? Or did they do that on purpose? A little weird.
Clive Barker is one of my favorite authors. His artwork is very unique.
I want to go to Abarat! Clive Barker is so talented! He creates worlds like none other! This is what "genius" is.
i love what he says at the end saying the only thing that matters is the thing inside you that is unique and being who you are
and he gave his ex hiv so if you fancy that ain't no problem you go girl..
lol love the absolutely demented look on his face in that final shot. WTF. Crazy goddam genius
I've found my acrylic painting I'm now playing now with the idea of sgraffito
Clive Barker is my artistic soulmate. My absolute hero.
12,50 The painting moves his eyes wtf!!
I admit, so far I've only read the first volume of the books of blood, but I can already tell by his art and his intricate stories that he's a very creative person and a great author. This guy gives King a run for his money.
I love his Barker's writing a lot better than Stephen King! Although both are great, Barker's surrealism speaks to me more.
