I've posted a link on snapperhead (here) to your fantastic art. Although I see refinement and depth in your newer works, I still love death of the baroque the most. My 2001 drawing "Difficult Index" (here) is about as close as I can get to your superior talent.

I love that it looks so amorphous and ambiguous. The best kind of art is the kind that makes you imagine beyond what can be seen. I don't believe in talent, only hard work I can't thank you enough for liking my art. I don't think I'll be doing much of it after this, though. Graduation marks the start of my working life as a graphic designer, and it's just simply not the same. I am happy to have made these works though.

I think you'll be surprised about what makes you happy (drives you). I left the creative side of myself to join the working world after college with similar thoughts to yours. But I discovered that I never completely stopped creating. And then, after leaving the working world, returned to creating full time. I'm most happy when I'm listening to music and creating art.

Your art is so inspiring!
It's got me loving baroque, how did I live without drawing things like this?
I'll have to make up my own designs as soon as I can. They will never be as good as yours though!
Know any artists that I can use as influence?

hmm i dodnt really have any artists to draw influence from with regards to the baroque piece. But there are alot of books on such designs where you can learn from...

absolutely beautiful work.. especially your baroque inspired pieces. just out of curiosity are there any places online that teaches how to draw the baroque ornaments etc...

hi thanks so much for the comment. im not too sure about online places but for me i merely started out copying tons of baroque designs. helped me understand where the shadows should fall before going onto other things. hope this helps
