Eluus: The dark side

I've seen only one work by Eelus. I found this piece in Dublin, and when I posted it on instagram the artist him self asked for the photo. Eelus moved to London when he was 22 and became fascinated by the street art scene in the Shoreditch area and began to make work in the streets him self.  He rapidly got a reputation for imagniative, dark and mystical stencils. Eelus in his own words: “I live in a different world to most people. A world that is crawling with hidden magic and strange creatures. There are dinosaurs and strange beasts within the centre of the Earth, Bigfoot is alive and well within the forests of many lands and the skies are full of beings from other worlds. There are gnomes in the mountains, secret bunkers in the desert, and always, ALWAYS monsters under the bed. From within this world, I love to paint, draw, photograph, write, watch, read, listen and most importantly, learn. My goal is to continue making a living from doing all these things I love and being creative in any way I can." Eelus doesn't do art in the streets anymore, but in his studio and exhibit in galleries.
