Love Clive Barker, his genius and talent is absolutely unique. A rare gem of an artist indeed.
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.
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 🙏🏻
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.
He is incredibly imaginative. I think he may be right about channeling from other realms. It seems as if he has that ability.
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%.
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..
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?
These paintings are awesome just like his books! He is such a genius!
Clive Barker is just fantastic I love this guy
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😐
Clive Barker's talent as a painter and writer is unparalleled.
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.....;-)
His paintings are awesome ❤ I love the atmosphere there.
Clive Barker is an amazing artist.
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.
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.
God I love Clive Barker.
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.
Always loved his books - had no idea he was such an amazingly prolific painter - what a great talent and inspiration he is!
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.
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
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.
A genius!
thank you for the video. I'm reading Abarat now for the first time. I'm obsessed. Love Clive Barker.
Clive Barker is one of my favorite authors. His artwork is very unique.
Super creative and imaginative!! I love it!
I absoulotley adore this book! Who knows what my life would be like now if I hadn't read it!
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.
Those blinking eyes on the painting had me go back three times to be sure!
2005 I watched this after military school it was a really nic movie
He truly is a brilliant surrealist.
I am you and you are love, and that's what makes the world go round...fantastic!
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
I want to go to Abarat! Clive Barker is so talented! He creates worlds like none other! This is what "genius" is.
Imajica - the film. With today's effects, it would be quite some movie beyond words.
Very nice work.
Abarat means warm tears in my language.
What language is that?
Holy mother of god Kaspar Wolfswinkel blinked at me!
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."
Clive Barker is my artistic soulmate. My absolute hero.
Thank you
Well said.
He is a modern-day William Blake.
lol love the absolutely demented look on his face in that final shot. WTF. Crazy goddam genius
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.
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.
This guy is awesome.
Genius.
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.
Masterpiece
The blinking got me 😂👍
11:18 Gah! That scared the crap out of me!
He's a god!
Go seek help
A Remix from Clive Barkers "JERICHO" would be awesome, for me as Gamer !
This game was criminaly underratted !
I loved it .
J'aimerais tellement discuter, ne serait-ce qu'une heure, avec cette personne.
Did anyone else notice that one of his paintings blinked?
Are those knifes used for cooking or painting ?
Clive Barker: yes .
A really lucky man.
His wonderous work is Tribal and an Ancient like
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.
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.
12:44 the eyes blink.
He sure loves those cigars
@relictheseer It happens with a few of the paintings.
hes really good looking
I've found my acrylic painting I'm now playing now with the idea of sgraffito
That picture blinked at 12 : 45 !! wtf
I have this video, funny it's on youtube now.
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.
He’s a genius -
No, he has or had what is known as polyps in his throat and has had numerous amounts of surgery to remove them.
and Carrion just did the same at me!
I don't care what anyone says this guy is a vampire
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.
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
I'm becoming the next "whoever I am".
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.
@relictheseer 12:47 and 12:50
Le Salon de l’artiste
The picture at 11:13 blinked. Seriously... did Clive notice that? Or did they do that on purpose? A little weird.
scarlet gospels anyone? when can we get out hands on this shit. ABARAT is amazing but come on! i need that book!
What happened to his voice? Cigars?
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!!
actually, that was proven to be nonsense; a claim made by the ex spouse that had no basis.
Can you buy his paintings?
I'm 99 percent "Straight", but I find Clive Barker around this time to be magnificently sexy.
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.
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..
12,50 The painting moves his eyes wtf!!
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.
what happened to his voice
He had polyps in his throat, so he had them removed via operation. It made his voice raspy.
12:47 blink.
