Lost in The Chasm

Darkness. Complete darkness. A figure stands enshrouded in blackness, and submerged beneath the earth. Palms planted against massive rocks embraced-forming an extended surface. Sinewy digits arise to intertwine amongst conglomerated minerals. Legs used in a sequence, as heels are plunging into this wall. The presence clinging for its life and ascending in a climb of the rugged terrain. Wanting to liberate itself from this hollow sinkhole and traverse into the rest of the world.
The figure is me. I feel trapped, yet I also feel like I am in total darkness. My life is changing rapidly and with every change comes new scenarios and new dilemmas. The chasm which inhibits my pilgrimage of our world is...Ohio. As Megan from "Rock of Love" stated, "the place no one deserves to be in." Ohio should be known as "Hell on Earth." This state really does not offer anything for someone of my potential and it is hard for me to literally get out of here. I desperately need to be rid of this life of mediocrity. I need to enjoy an oasis. A new land, in which art is relevant and expression is appreciated. John Legend is from Springfield, Ohio and he described the best decision of his life as this-"I left." He decided to leave and became abundantly successful after doing so. I totally agree with his decision and I am starting to doubt my success actually taking place in the midwestern state. I love the city I am from, but now that I'm becoming a young adult and I am evolving, the setting around me needs to evolve as well. Hopefully, I'll get my chance to be released and free from the depths of this chasm.

VMA Madness and Sketches

The VMA's seem to be losing their integrity every year. I remember watching them and literally being on the edge of my seat, but this year I didn't feel that way at all. I really enjoyed Lil Wayne's performance and Paramore's performance, but other than that I really didn't care for them this year. I don't see the point in glorifying an event which is more like a popularity concert than anything else. Watching Britney Spears win three awards was ridiculous. This bitch won three awards because the media acted horribly towards her over the course of one year. They were completely bias and maybe this makes up for the hell they put her through, but it takes away from other artists who are extremely talented. Nonetheless, this summer I have been working on some drawings. Sketching is becoming very easy and it wasn't at first, but focusing on different proportions everyday and using different stroke techniques have really assisted in my work. I'm learning my hand is also very strong and it helps with shading a lot. Well, here are some pieces I worked on this summer. Hope you all enjoy.

My Own Character

Finally made a blog

Well, I finally have a blog. This is my own personal canvas for expressing my view through my art and writing. I believe this will be a great way to vent about events in my personal life and worldwide. Hopefully, this will be an interesting display of my everyday thoughts and I'm guessing it will also be therapeutic to showcase my talent and frequent obsessions.
