Eric Scott Bloom, (1962-). American-born painter, photographer, singer-song- writer, producer, performance artist, poet, filmmaker, journalist, graphic designer. Eric Scott Bloom, now 48, has been fascinated with art since he can remember. All his work, especially in painting and photography, but in all the other disciplines, as well, is predicated on the fact that spirituality is real, and that creative power can tap into the power of the spirit, or the human soul, and reflect profound truths about what it means to be human. More than 1,000 paintings, millions of photographs, thousands of poems, hundreds of songs, and the list goes on, and his work continues. Bloom, who calls himself "MODARTIST," claims the scope of his overall body of work came into being because he does his art without compromise or self-censorship. His spirituality has given him a key to the castle of producing vast amounts of work in many varying fields. Two things serve as his main inspirations: His love and fascination with his artistic, creative idols and mentors, and his now fifteen year-old son, Kyle, who also writes music, paints, takes photographs, et al. "My art is now for my son. It'll be my legacy to him. Along with un-conditional love and the reverence I hold for Kyle, I have my art to give him, and his family, when I'm gone. It will be all the art and music that stands for those moments when I truly tapped into my inner being; whatever it is that makes being human possible, and became one with my vision of what art can sound like, or look like. How it can move people to think and feel in a way that is most intense and unique. Bloom feels that all his work, although original, is definitely his on-going homage to the artists that came before him, and whom he followed and studied in his formative years as a young romantic. Someone once told Bloom: "Eric, you can't do it all. You should just pick one art form, and stick with it." Eric didn't listen.
