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.

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.

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.

This was a pencil design I did a year back. A lot of my art portrays my feelings towards the social status of this era. How we are consumed by reality tv, game shows, and just plain bad television. Once born of flesh and blood, we are slowly becoming one with technology and absorbed into the useless trash we find flipping through channels. Here, the already converted mother is trying to protect the only remnants that remind her that she too was once human.

After having so much fun with the last piece, I decided to try a series of em. I have an idea, but won’t let it out until I’m sure it will work =D This piece is focused on the ability to open up. Being vulnerable to the outside without fear or worry. My creative juices have been flowing since that week of downtime and in a way my mind has opened a little more for me to see inside and to let you see a little deeper. Only in this state of vulnerability can I truly be free, and without limitation on what I do or how I go about doing it.

This picture was created by Alex Pardee, and it was used as CD art for the used’s album In Love and Death. The illustration was used for the song All That Ive Got. / This is my version of the original.

This piece was started digitally at 8:00 am this morning and finished at 10:16 pm. This is the first time that I started and finished a piece with only bathroom and food breaks. I do not recomend it for the weak of heart =). This piece is actually dedicated and for Kris of explosm. I told him I would return the favor for him exposing me to so many people. This piece is meant to represent the calmness that water brings us and that it has the ability to crush us with it’s power. Without water, we do not exist, and this is also my way of showing appreciation for this nonliving entity.

Kind of feeling the Constantine movie’s idea of demons. Drawn in pencil and then splattered in Photoshop.
