  • For the past week or so I have been in a real deep funk. Won’t go as far as saying depressed but overwhelmed by the feeling of unhappiness. I sketched this out last night about midnight and felt that it was worth throwing up here. I wanted to capture how I’ve been feeling and this happened to pop out. No preconceived idea of what I was aiming for and was at the will of my subconscious. As you see in the image, I am gripping onto one of the only things that make me happy, and no matter how hard I squeeze, it still feels like it is slipping away. What IT is, is not important, because it can be anything that brings you any kind of joy. And as you see, without that happiness and that “constant”, I am nothing. Along with my happiness I myself begin to slip away into the darkness, hoping to meet my happiness at the bottom.

  • As a once psychology major, I was intrigued by Freud’s theory on the id and ego of the human psyche. It has been many years since those classes so my words may be somewhat off. But this piece is a self representation (aren’t they all?) of myself and how the “id” and “ego” play in our life decisions. We all seek pleasure and that constant feeling of euphoria, and our “id”’s only goal is to achieve those feelings without worry or care about the consequences of such actions. It is our “ego” that keeps the “id” in line, allowing us to think before we act, and to be able to foresee what may come of this pleasure seeking. It is a constant battle that wages on beneath our skin and sometimes the “id” overcomes. Some choose to live only by the “id”s bidding and never realize the destruction they leave behind when seeking their pleasures. I have been through that lifestyle once, and as much as I enjoyed such pleasures in bountiful amounts….the aftershock of those actions can still be felt today.

  • reference used: Brian Froud’s lady cottongton’s pressed fairy calendar. the fairy is based on the image in the calendar, and the pen-stuff is from my imagination. materials: watercolor pencils and pen.

  • This piece is based on how much we base our decisions off of love. Not condemning it, but rather it intrigues me what those will do in the name of love. Many people have died for love, have fought for love, and have sacrificed for love. It’s a powerful feeling that enslaves us, causing us to react in ways we may not deem normal in a clear state of mind, but like they say, Love is intoxicating. 2nd traditional piece I’ve ever attempted with acrylics. It was (key word, was, because it was sold lol)a 18×24 inch stretched canvas with acrylics and india ink. I miss this piece dearly, but at least I have a wonderful jpeg of it’s remains.

  • Image by photographer Glennis Siverson, www.glennisphotos.com. This was captured at a park in Beijing, China, where an elderly man had just finished painting watermarks on the sidewalk. In China, there are many people who practice calligraphy in public places, using water as their ink and the ground as their paper. Very large brushes are required and they look a bit like a giant felt tip pen. (For perspective, the characters in this image are about a foot in length.) Although the writing is temporary since the water evaporates, it’s an informal public display of one’s work, and an opportunity to practice calligraphy, which is taught in the schools.

  • Pencil drawing / Same design available on colored tees /

  • Seeing artworks sometimes don’t fit the standard bubblecard size (114×162mm), I’m cropping a couple of my images to fit. I’m not taking down the original version, though. Featured in Colour me a Rainbow (Colour brown).

  • Some say he was a historical person who lived in London in the 19th century. Others claim he was just the fictional character who first appeared in The String of Pearls, a penny part serial published somewhere around 1846-1847. / He was a barber who returned illegaly to England after he’d been deported on a trumped-up charge by a judge who wanted to steal his beautiful wife. With the assistance of his partner in crime, Mrs Lovett, he sets up a new life under a new name, he is now called Sweeney Todd. His razors are his weapon of choice, as he murders his wealthy customers by slitting their throats, then pulling a lever while they are in his barber’s chair which, unknown to them, is fixed to a revolving trap-door, making them fall backward into the basement. Then Mrs Lovett takes over by turning the dead bodies into meat pies and selling them to the unsuspecting customers of her pie shop. Highly recommended: / Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (1936), a film version of the Victorian melodrama starring Tod Slaughter as Sweeney Todd and Stella Rho as Mrs. “Lovatt”. / Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. A Musical Thriller (1979), televised in 1982, the acclaimed musical adaptation play by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler starring George Hearn and Angela Lansbury in outstanding performances. / Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), the ultimate version, a Tim Burton film starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.

  • These eyes will deceive you, they will destroy you. They will take from you, your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul. These eyes do not see what you and I see. Behind these eyes one finds only blackness, the absence of light, these are of a psychopath. / (Dr Sam Loomis, Psychologist, Haddonfield, 2007) Inks

  • At first, I experimented only with dead animals, and then a human heart which I kept beating for three weeks. But now, I’m going to turn that ray on that body and endow it with life… Tonight, you shall have your proof… / Dr Henry Frankenstein, scientist. Inks
