heyhey, love your stuff, but find i dislike it at the same time, simply because it all reminds me of what and how i used to draw, and i dont really like re-living those old motivations. apart from that, very expressive. i think if you incorporated more subtle symbolism and work on picking up the intricacies that are lost in the translation from mindscape to paper, it would be captivating. nothing like a slice of your mind on paper.

let me present to you a philisophical question, because im tired, and in a thoughtful mood; are not our thoughts our identity, a part of what makes us who we are? and if we think one thing enough, connections form within our brain to create a memory. if you invest a thought to paper, does that piece of art become quite literally, a piece of the creator? a memory in an external capacity?

short answer: no.
our thoughts aren extnsion of ou identity, a self popegating product of it, the artists dsire to conform in a way his identity, to the representations of his ideas, is instead indicative of the artists intentions, his motivation to produce 'art' in the first place.
it becomes not a hardcopy memory, but a tactile intention, (the good sort of which pave th proverbial path to hell)

anyway, good to hear feedback, and glad to hear you sorta like the stuff i have up here. honestly though the motivation for these peices is one i havent taken up in years, i just havent had nearly enough time to paint or draw as i'd like.

Well that's what i think anyway.

but our thoughts are the product of our experiences or memory and our identity is comprised of these memories and inherrant personality traits (nature and nurture) and is not art a thought provoking object? looking at anothers artwork, can you not tell what kind of person they are? like reviewing a persons memory.

i realise the flaws in my argument, but my memory being as it is, i consider my work to be hard copy memory, so im slighty biased.
i will concede as far to say that i agree that it is a tactile intention, a symbiosis of memory and thought, the need perhaps to create the prefered memory or the intent to exorcize a painful one.

a clear and concise argument, ill give you that, but my belief stands strong. if my artwork was distroyed in a horrendous fire, it would be like cutting a section of my brain out, they are me, they are my identity and my memories, my own tactile revisions more than intentions.
