Description
Atychiphobia... the fear of failure. This fear has haunted me since I can remember, especially when it comes to academics.(There are actually words and phrases written thoughout the shadows of the monster, though it's hard to see in this image. I don't quite remember what they all say, but I do know that they're either things I think to myself, things others say to me, and things that happen that have fed my feeling of failure over the past.)
mediums:
watercolor
arylic
color pencil

It's crazy when the fear of failure can lead to failure. >_< Neat piece.

Hi, I managed an italian art-zine, called Chiamata alle Arti, that each two months collects artworks around the world, fitting the same theme.
You can read more deeply about it, here: [link]
Next issue's theme, deadline 15th July, is Fear and I would like to show to our readers, also this work.
Obviously the work will be credited, with your name or nick, with link to email and/or website, with your comments, if you wish.
Contact me for more details. You can see all past issues of the artzine, here: [link]

It's me, Patrick. I saw this at the con and seriously considered buying it. Beautifully done. Especially the colors.

Wow, talk about mixed media!
An impressive deviation, full of symbolism, well made in both a funny and frightening way...
Plus it is evocative for lot of artists, I think.
No wonder you won. Congratulations!

Creepy, but cool. I like how the figures are gazing down... as if judging you...

Definitions of failure vary... I fear death without having accomplished anything with my life. That's my version of failure.

Seems like an accurate description of failure to me. It depends though, what you count as accomplishment. I think if you can change somebody's life for the better, you've accomplished something.

Whoa. It's creepy. The colors fit well and the whole spirit or whatever dwarving the person helps.

Gosh!! I mean, it is SOoo marvelous of you to personify (if you are able to say it like that) your feelings, the ones from deep deep inside!! I hope I could do that!!

To be honest, that kinda scared me. Is that atychiphobia-phobia? xD
I like the color/texture.

Yeah, definitely had to look up what atychiphobia was. But this is cool!
I love the mixed media-ness, especially the red scribbles
