Architectural Illustrations from Nathan Freise.  Fallen Silo’s narrative revolves around a community that has inhabited a family of derelict grain silos, returning to a pastoral way of life. The multilayered rendering style strives to capture the fragility of these stoic structures.

About My Artwork:

The ushi-oni, or gyūki, is a creature from Japan. There are various kinds of ushi-oni, all of them some sort of monster with a horned, bovine head.

‘Many modern images give the ushi-oni the horned head of an ox or ogre and the body of a gigantic spider, a shape which seems to have its origins in various old picture scrolls. Another scroll, the Matsui Hyakki Yakō Emaki, gives a monster with the same shape the name tsuchigumo, and indeed the tsuchigumo which attacked Minamoto no Raikō in the Taiheiki was described as having a horned head on the body of a spider. Tada Katsumi theorizes that the spider-bodied ushi-oni image may be the result of confusing the two horned monsters associated with Raikō.’
From the Obakemono project
