Feel free to enjoy designs of pipes Eber has made over the last 30 years!

Dag loved wood working and making pipes; however, Dag was not a smoker per se but a pipe enthusiast who believed a weekly puff will likely do no harm if you don't inhale. It was the carving of the wood which drew him and the room aroma of pipes he remembered growing up.

Dag always had his hand in art, whether drawing, sculpting or wood-working. Developing arthritis in his hands; however, made the rigors of wood carving somewhat difficult, leading Dag to retire from carving wood and return to drawing which is somewhat remedial. When asked where his art has been for the last thirty plus years he asks if anyone has seen his pipes.

Illustration Work

Dag prefers pencil on bristol paper, though he does work in oils and acrylic as well as colored pencil. Dag Eber is a traditional artist where all artwork is hand illustrated. Themes and styles include pretty girls, futuristic and fantasy themes as well as gothic. Eber draws in three primary styles which are sketchy shaded anime, shaded fantasy and commercial illustration and photo-real, overlapping as he sees fit. He prefers to draw what he likes in regard to subject matter as the mood strikes him. For this reason, he does not enjoy commissions; however, under certain circumstances he will take on a commission. One such circumstance is the Heavy Metal Blank shown below rendered in colored pencil.

He likes fantasy art very much but has said that he dislikes when he is compared to Frazetta:

"I love to draw and my work is original. Sadly, if I draw a barbarian or a warrior woman they say it's a Frazetta ripoff and if I draw pretty faces with nice detail in the eyes they say it's AI. Then when I post a video of me drawing they say the video is AI. I suppose it's a compliment but I'm still going to draw what I like the way I like to. Sure Frazetta is good but that has nothing to do with me -- have you seen the paintings of J. Allen St. John (1872-1957)? Look him up! The subject matter has been around since before the 1937 Prince Valiant strips by Hal Foster and many a Frazetta painting gleaned the style of J. Allen St. John and Hal Foster. Did Frazetta rip off those guys? Well, who cares! We artists draw and haters hate because they can't draw or be kind. Art is an expression of beauty and imagination and in there is love. Some people don't get that and it's a shame. My art is my own and just because it's considered good does not make it someone else's."
