Murder with paint. (ignore the other one)posted Aug 8th 2009, 5:14PM

I couldn't really find the energy for any appropriate excuses that accurately explain my absence. I can say the sun leeches any inspiration for art from me; a lot like the way the sun bleaches blood stains from bones, so I figure it works the same way with motivation.
I've managed to find a select few people (near me) who don't actually act repulsed by my art, and rather than suggest I draw Ponies or something nice like that. SOme of them asked to actually purchase my art. Odd when something like that happens, because most of the time the minute I finish a painting it gets stored away in some dark recess of my home to never be looked at again. (Bad and disrespectful habit I know, but it's much like the emotion I experience when I draw it, fleeting and meaningless when it's over) so I'm feeling fairly smug as of late.
I guarantee I have a plethora of projects on the go, it's just a matter of…. Well… refer to above statement. Or else me getting up the energy to scan the doodles for my second account.
On a side note – No one expects anyone in the real world to care, and I've noticed when you show you unlike most of the worlds population does, people just start to figure you're insane.
Also.... I believe Momento Mori should become popular again. It just makes more sense in my eyes. (not to mention some of it looks gorgeous)
I have a secondary account, that my pointless character idea’s, childish imagery, and scraps have been placed to collect dust in… I think art should have something to say… this account is my obnoxious one… it yells a lot…
I am so surprised I've never seen your work till today. I absolutely LOVE your use of the macabre and disturbing to create such thought provoking and visually stunning work. I tend to pussy foot around my ideas, and it's nice to see someone so dedicated to their work.
I'm always surprised when I stumble upon great artists, such as yourself. It's been far too long for this non-watch to keep up, you just earned yourself a new fan! Love your style, it's fantastic!
And in turn I'm just as surprised when someone thinks I'm a good artist. I realize I'm my worst critic, but believe me; I have had my share of. "Don't quit your day job." comments. I think most of the time, it may be the fact a fair amount of what I do involves someone being dead, or dying. (Not to mention some of the more opinionated peices involving a certain “savior” as many of the very religious would call him, have garnered some of the more unhappy comments.)
So I have sort of gotten used to refusing to draw a lake of diamonds with bunny shaped clouds to get approval, making your comment a bit harder to swallow than you’d think.
Although, thankyou very much. I appreciate it.
Well I'm not blowing it out my ass, I'm being super serious. I take my art to heart, and I only watch those who I find compelling or some-what eye-catching. And you're far more than eye-catching, your art is simply amazing, and utterly breath-taking, I truly admire you.:)
Oh! I never meant to give you an "oh no" moment. I will post more art soon, working on some landscapes at the moment, hopefully if I'm not going to be horribly lazy they'll be done soon... Right now all one can do is hope and cross fingers...
We are easily found loitering in washrooms, hideing behind bushes, standing on the outskirts of playgrounds and elementary schools, and usually carrying large, filled garbage bags about at night.
