Description
* * * My Artist Statement * * *I create my art not out of inspiration, or the desire to express myself, I create it out of necessity. The necessity to communicate and feel attached to the world; that I so often feel detached from. Art has been more then a recreation, and financial medium for me, I use it to communicate. Ever since I was a child I learned that the world I see and experience while it is the same has been quite different then others, and only threw creating images, with different mediums, sculpting and taking photos can I even start to express and explain the world and how I experience to an other wise, blind, deaf, and dumb world..
My muse lies mostly in the very world around me, nature, music, and gaming are what inspire me the most giving me thoughts, patterns, visions, and rhythms to continue into my own work, literally acting as a wellspring or diving board for my own creativity. Many times I look around to find myself in this enchanted and awestruck world that surrounds me, unveiling it beauty spender to me at every turn. How ever when I try to share my findings with others they seem to be lost, unable to see and experience the world how I do. There for I turn to art to communicate that which I experience and see.
My art programs and combined other media allow me to not just capture the patterns and experiences I go threw but to emphasizes and heighten them while allowing me to crop out unnecessary interference that is in the way to show the world a true glimpse of what I experience daily. The world is a fantastic and enchanted place for me with surprises at each turn and I wish to express that to my public so they might be able to gain some of the joy and wonderment that I feel from it and in doing so create not just communication but a cord of contact, allowing me to even for a short time feel more attached to the world and people in it.

Very well drawn, I admire the structure plus the figure itself. Amazing touches to it along with such creativity. This is true art here, and I admire it highly!! 10/10 of course!!

Aw thank you, you're making me blush, and here I was just screwing around making a fictional add for a nonexistent comic book store for a friend of mine.

Oh he likes it a lot. But then again he likes most of my art. I finally talked him into letting me build him a webbie I just wish I had the time, inspiration and energy to do it all at once for him, and we still have the comic to work on. LOL here I am rambling, any way thank you very much again for your kind words. I really appreciate them.

Ah- No problem once again. I'm sorry for phrasing your friend as "She" rather then "He". Wow, that is very delightful of you to do so much for him, you must be a blessing upon his Life.
I appreciate you telling me these things, you may continue to contact me and talk as much as you wish. I do hope things work out and your comic becomes a financial success!

LOL no worries on any of it. Honestly I think I annoy him about 50% of the time, we're kinda opposites he loves order and I love chaos but we make a good team. If anything we are really more like siblings then anything else when I get bored I pick on him and vice verse. Though some times I wonder what he says to the rude sods that just wont listen to me telling them I'm not interested and to go away. But really I wouldn't call myself a blessing on his life were just two people that get each other.
Talking would be great, and feel free to to drop me a note or something anytime you like. It's very nice to talk to you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I sent you a note so talk as much as your heart desires!! I like to socialize and know what is happening (Only if shared with me).
Nah, I wouldn't be annoyed by you...I would cherish you helping me and I think you are a blessing just for being yourself ^_^. I feel you two are a good team, just be honest with one another is all

You say such nice things but I have to be honest. I'm not nearly as sweet as everyone likes to think. There's a reason I have friends that call me evil or cute evil regularly.

I don't judge character, I don't expect you to be "Goody-Goody" in any form of matter as in Perfect...No one is Perfect. You be as you please, and I shall not take that against you. I've known and helped people in this World who aren't at their best or considered "Outsider" in that way. Please don't get down on yourself...I am glad you were honest with me and I am always happy to know you're happy

Hehehehe You're to sweet but I'm totally not down on myself I'm just honest and well it's always far more fun to be the problem child. I do totally get what you mean about no one's perfect. You are very right in that aspect because in all honesty true universal perfection dose not exists. Not even the gods are perfect. I just wish more people would remember that no matter what religion they chose to be in. It's unfair to their chosen deity for them to except perfection of them and to constantly handle everything, don't they have enough to do anyway?
Yay for cute new signs you can hang on walls for the season. They make everything so bright and cherry. And people like to star when they see them next to the Asylum and Morgue signs on the wall.

Mmmghhh *nods* I'm christian and I know i'm not perfect. No matter how much I try to be...never will

To each their own and well honesty really is so much more fun then lying. I don't understand where people got the silly idea of universal perfect. I mean if you look at it it's all relative what's perfection to one isn't to another so it's silly doing harm to yourself or stressing yourself out to be perfect. In the end all we are is who we are, and who we are can stay steady or change every moment. But you can never be something other then yourself.

Thank you so much and the same goes for you. From what little of your art I did get to see your really talented.
I just wish we both get to achieve what it is we set out for.

Thank you really

Thank you. It's funny I've several goals to achieve here on DA though some of them I wish I could achieve now instead of later. What about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just going on by to express how much art means to me and giving my fellow DA peers their credits ^_^ it's just for now... I am trying to also improve on getting people to be motivated by my words too!

You are doing an amazing job of reaching those. For now my short term goal is definitely winning the Art Water contest. I could really use the opportunities it offers. It's a real honor to be competing with other artist that are so talented and amazing in it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am glad you're not underestimating those other artists - The key to winning a contest is always observe just how well or talented your peers are who are also entering.
I'll have your back, once you submit something to it please notify me

You think? I'm more then positive that helps though doing your best always helped to, like when I competed in a Ms Milwaukee pageant and when I use to show horses. Competing with worthy opponents just rocks any way you put it.
Aw your too sweet. Actually I got about 15 entries in last night, mostly old work I adapted They are in my gallery. I've got a few more I'm working on two while trying to shake some new designs out of my head, while waiting for the cob webs to clear. Since they said you can enter as many times as you want I figured i might as well summit new and old things. I just hope to make a lot of work and expressions many people understand and really like. If you want to see what I put in already it's in my gallery page.

It will...believe me

Aw ta again, really there weren't that much in the way of rules for what you can summit. Those ones I summit though I will probably be changing in a day or to, now that I know how to get my hands on the font they are using for Art Water. I can't wait to see all the results.

ITZ MAGICAL

This makes me think all space has died out, and the sun is just...a blue ball of nothing. Not sure :3.
Or maybe the sun has changed elements! Instead of red fire, maybe blue fire and black/grey smoke.
Either way, I love this ^-^

I share your sentiment greatly (I even wrote about this same thing not too long ago), but rather than necessity to feel attached to the world, I create out of necessity to express. As far as I see it, money is a convenient side effect of art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, I totaly get what you mean about money being a pleasant side effect. I just wish I would get more of that with my art.

Thanks a lot though what is it you see conveying there? This one like almost all of my art I just well rarely have a meaning or anything else attached to it. Normally my mind just hits a blank meditative like state and I just create these images. Or I just make them why doing other stuff and talking to friends.
The truth is the meaning is there for people to interpret for me, much like me they exist, they are what they are, just like I am what I am. It just seems silly to slap a meaning or deffination on something that could mean so much more and so many other things to everyone that sees them. Why limit yourself to confinement when you can fly in the stars and enjoy real freedom?
That could just be me being silly though. Some times just existing is more meaningful then being defined.
