sPikE--2012

For some time I have been very into pen and paper. I have doodled and drawn and am now starting to paint. I have had many people make requests for artwork. They have also paid for things. Tattoos, publications, work, etc. I have even had some of my artwork stolen from me. So I figured why not start making it available for sale? People want it that bad then they can just buy copies or orignals.

Also as a foot note or just another paragraph I guess... I Have 6 piercings. Labre, lip, and 2 in each ear guaged at 6's and 12's and plan on adding 18's behind those. I have 5 tattoos that I designed somewhat myself and plan on adding a few more. I am also currently getting into tattooing in my free time. Might as well since I have designed so many for people. I also am trying to learn to fly without wings... More on that if and when it happens. I guess.

NOTE:
I guess I need to post this since I get a lot of these questions about my art. Most of the images I draw or paint tend to show many similarities. However they are not the same. It is not a comic I am working on or a story with many illustrations. They are brief yet symbolize some of my deepest emotions. They symbolize regular people in everyday life, that darker side less publicized. Most of the time these emotions are strong and when I tend to put them on paper it’s like a form of closure. They are no longer trapped in my head beating on the walls of my sanity or my depression. The canvas is their new prison. They are fleeting and never completely identical because no two emotions are exactly alike. I encourage any person to take what they will from them and I am always willing to explain what I was feeling even though I may not always get into the story behind them. They simply are the emotions put into physical characters that I may either love, hate, or anything in between. Sadly these afflictions just manifest themselves and my hand moves. If I could control the images I created then I could have a career in art. The only thing I can accomplish is turning emotions to paper for others to judge and take what they will. I think that what encourages me to share them the most is when people tell me they can really relate. That they are not alone, and that others are there with them. Even on the lowest levels.
