# About me
“And sure enough, in seeking to become superhuman this foolhardy young man renders himself inhuman. The heart that he has locked away slowly shrivels and grows hair, symbolising his own descent to beasthood.”― J.K. Rowling, The Tales of Beedle the Bard
I am a young artist on a perilous and sometimes hopeless quest to seek the impossible that all artists, one time or another, seek to find meaning in the act of creation. I must ask the question: if a painting is made and none lays eyes on it, does it still exist? Is it still a painting in the true sense of it? Or is it still locked up in the imagination of the artist doomed to die along with his/her legacy? Come and explore my work and please leave a comment for, as they do say, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and what is art without its participants?

Thanks for the fav on INKTOBER 12: Dragon - Shoulder Massager for Sale
Sure, it’s been used quite extensively, and it was the prime suspect in three murders, but none of those charges could be proven, so you have nothing to worry about. It’s also very expensive to operate, requiring no less than 11 sacrificial teenagers, a moldy corkscrew, and a box of half eaten thumbtacks, to be refuelled, daily. But can you really put a price tag on a deep tissue shoulder massage. Like, really, really deep tissue. Like, “Oh my god, I’m bleeding to death! Tell my goldfish I loved him, and please delete my browsing history” level of deep tissue manipulation. Now that is the sort of quality that you just can’t find in stores. So just indicate your interest and you’ll go in the pool with the other potential buyers. It shouldn’t be long before we’re ready to start the bidding. Until then, I recommend you keep your head above the water, and just try to ignore the bloated, floating corpses of all those that just couldn’t wait for this sale to start. Besides, we clean the pool daily, so just avoid them and you should be fine.

Love your style. Stippling is such a cool way of drawing. Your work has the minimum amount of ink to make a maximum amount of impact. Bravo!

Thanks a lot for the llama! <3
I think your point of view is very interesting ("if a painting is made and none lays eyes on it, does it still exist?") but I personally think that if the artist has worked hard to create the painting and he/she is satisfied with the result, the painting does exist... if not, all the time spent doing it would be for nothing!

I made my bio so long ago that I forgot all about it! Hahaha!
I get what you're saying. Even if you don't publish the artwork you can still use it to practice so you still gain the experience from it. I think what i meant with that was more like "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Thanks for your input and you're very welcome for the llama
