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.

ART Works

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:

"The paintings of J. Allen St. John (1872-1957) and the work of Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) are some of Eber's influences. The subject matter has been around since the 1800's and many a Frazetta painting gleaned the imagery of J. Allen St. John and Hal Foster. It's a theme, more so than a style and it's fun. Art is an expression of beauty and imagination and in there is love. Some people don't get that and it's a shame."

Eber has begun to move his latest efforts toward friendly cartoony dinosaurs which appeal to children of all ages. Painted in acrylic on canvas board, these originals will be sold signed on front and back along with prints available at FineArtAmerica.com and other authorized affiliates. Eber says the looser style of this theme is relaxing for him and may appeal to a broader audience and he will be focusing on these works almost exclusively for a time.
