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.

Mixed media on canvas. This is an expression of love for my partner

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.

I was thinking about the status of our existence and what comes with growing older. People tend to lose their common sense when you think that they would become wiser with age. They become more afraid of what is ahead, unsure, and struggle to find something safe to latch onto. What used to be little coincidences and peculiar events now hold stronger meanings and “signs” of a higher existence. These once strong and individual beings become weak and submissive to an unknown…they become zealots, worshipping whatever they feel is in control. It reminds me a lot of zombies =D and how they have this unending desire to devour and consume, as we do with prayer and devotion. We search for signs of God and divine interventions when really, maybe it’s just us willing these events to happen….I do believe in another life, but my maker doesn’t ask me to be a slave, a zombie, or a zealot. He/She asks me to be myself.

Here is the final piece after some tweaking in Photoshop. So I”m not sure if it would be considered mixed media or not but whatever…. Recently as some of you have read, I have been in a funk with my art. Unable to really create anything that truly meant something to me on a higher level. Everything I sketched had no connection, no feeling, and no soul. I started questioning myself and my passion for the arts, when it dawned on me that my boredom and lack of drive WAS my inspiration. I envisioned myself trapped within the inner workings of my subconscious and it trying to suck whatever creative juices I had left in my already empty skull. The mind’s gears cranking out what was left of an artist, even if there were no results. It would continue to crank until it found something, anything, or until it killed the very entity that kept it alive. Luckily for me, there WAS something left.

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.

To Live In Pain and Fear
by C.C. ArshagraThe sum of your mind in a moment / This sum of your thoughts in their guise, ...
(Dedicated to Shawn and his father John Lennon) NOW! This is just a too cool a tale to not tell. I’ll try to cut it short. Met Shawn Lennon—90’s. A very intense conversation with him—this is to say the least. His father is one of my soul-role-models. I wrote a poem dedicated to his son and him and the song ‘Instant Karma’. I go online to here , today-RB. I read a poem just posted by Louilou. It moves me to somehow recall this poem. I pull it from my files. I rework it. I go back online to comment Louilou’s poem and post this one. Before I send it, I notice there’s some Redbubble mail in. I check it. It’s from Louilou about a poem I wrote—one of her piece inspired it. In her mail, she all too graciously humbles herself and I reply with this amazing story about a poem focused on fear, pain, and instant karma. Life is amazing! I got no doubt that it’s all here, or bust. Write on! You just can’t make this sh*t up!, / C.C. Arshagra 1/6/2008

This painting was created to coincide with the cd release of one of the greatest local bands that I have ever listened to. They also happen to be close friends of mine as well. They go by the name of Amplexus. Why not head over to their spot / myspace.com/amplexusrock / and give a listen while taking in the painting? The details: / 30×24 (?) inch stretched canvas, slathered with 4 layers of acrylic paint (because at that moment I wasn’t sure on what I was making) and finished off with some acrylic markers. Total time beginning to end was 11 hours over a 3 day span. The main idea was inspired directly by their song “Savage Henry” Here are the lyrics (sorry for the long comment) I will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger / Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers / And you walk free blood on your hands / The night hides you now but a red sun will rise / I knew Id find you, cower and pray / Here is the bargain: my soul for your head And theres no turning back / Dont turn away, you know theres no escape / Now im taking my time with you oh so carefully / Justice fails us all, your sentence is now! / What youve done couldnt go without punishment. / The sun beating down. This will be easier now / Strike down with no regret, tears mix with beading sweat / My footsteps seem distant but sure there is no returning / The innocent they call when no ones listening / The innocent they call me / You poison our existence and my hands are the cure / Im seeking retribution, this violence to you is called for

I thought my first submission should show that I’m about doing whatever I want regardless of the new trends, fashion, trends,... and the list goes on. I hope you like!! I was inspired by a mess up i didn’t on a piece of paper i was writing on.

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.
