Your Pusher Man
With the looming art show in my future I can only wonder how I have managed to get this far in any sort of creative medium. Granted this is just a local art show featuring local talent I have seemingly achieved more than even some art school drop outs have achieved(only those students who have endeavored to attain their diploma have gone to heights farther than I have).
I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth though. It will run faster than any horse I have personally owned not that I've ever owned any before now but the point is still valid. Something is more than nothing in essence.
I am most excited to illicit some reaction out of people whether it is negative or otherwise. I live for the emotion people emanate from their core when something stirs them up. It is the whole reason I got into theater and hopefully will be the reason I continue on with my art.
Emotion is the cheapest high in the world. The mere action of perceiving something can create a varying array of change in people's psyches. Sadness, anger, happiness, even hunger can all be sublimated with the right stimuli.
We live to feel and hold emotion on a golden throne. Love is blessed and worshiped, anger is wretched and condemned. One could even assume all illegal substances are taken to emulate the intense feelings of joy or mania often associated with pleasure or pain.
Of course this is all inference and I am only as infallible as any other person but it gives me reason all the same to make and produce art. Your nature serves my nature so let me get you something.
Let me be your pusherman.

Unwanted Internet #1: CuttleFiasco
My next painting is going to draw inspiration from Gezora, who starred in 1970's Space Amoeba. I giant blue cuttlefish with icy cold blood, Gezora was a frighteningly cute destroyer of mankind.
Having known very little about cuttlefish(aside from the fact that they look absolutely delicious), I decided to learn more at my local Internet.

Cuttlefish have a unique ability to adjust the pigmentation of their skin allowing them to rapidly change color. This is unfortunately missed in Space Amoeba though I assume if you're already a giant invertebrate you're not going for subtlety.
The cuttlefish also makes a delicious risotto dish according to Wikipedia. Another missed connection it seems as Gezora has time to escape to the ocean moments before death.
Now if we could teach dolphins to use a steam basket they would be set for life.

Nonsense: Polka Metal and Forward
Through rigorous testing and science, I have made a discovery. If one plays each of these videos at the same time, something magical happens to your ears.
With that being said, you may wonder what exactly it is that I do?
No? Well I'll tell you anyway.
I make art in various forms. Sometimes it is better than others and sometimes it is worse. But I just do it because it is what I like to do.
I'm still somewhat of a budding painter having only made as many as you can see on this web site up to this point. Visual medium up until now has mainly been pencil and ink to paper for illustrative projects or personal importance.
I'm am a much more accomplished stage performer having been in a theater improvisation troupe for nearly three years and getting paid somewhat regularly to do so. I have always wanted to expand my art horizons and this is me shoving myself over the cliff of change to do so.
So if you want, leave a comment on something you like, drop me an e-mail with the link on the right, or ignore this entirely.
Whatever you decide to do will make me happy despite the enigmas that may result from it.
