Does your art have something to do with a disease that evolves into life beyond what we can see? I noticed in your work it seems to have a bug or disease inside your head (don't take that in a bad way! XD)

no offence taken. you may have read already that i have schizophrenia- i draw from my dreams a lot. i guess a common theme in most of my art is having weird things coming out of the top of the head, or having shadowy figures in the background. the stuff coming from the top of the head could be seen as symbolic of the disease, and the figures in the background is something that i see regularly. thanks for the feedback.

Yeah no problem. I to may have schizophrenia, like i don't see things. But I hear a lot of voices outside coming from vents for example. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're real or not and it sometimes makes me upset. There's more to it than that, but anyways I think it's cool you draw things from your dreams!

if i can make a suggestion- unless you are having a really hard time, try to stay away from psychotherapists. i know that in canada at least,(where i live) once you are labeled as a schizophrenic, under the mental health act, the police can arrest you for no reason and you can be forced into a hospital. they can take away your driving licence and the list goes on... unless you need to, don't let them label you. dont give them the opportunity to ruin your life.

Thanks. I hate having people given labels so that they are treated differently because of it. I don't look at it as being a 'personality disorder' a 'disease' or 'mental illness'. To me I look at it as being who we are. Personally I'm happy being who I am, even if I do have mental problems. I don't want to take meds to help me change myself into being what a 'normal' human being should be. And yeah I was never going to find out if I was diagnosed with that, because I'm worried about those issues and being put into an institution.
