Interview, studio tour, and giveaways, oh my

Sun Sep 27, 2009, 1:48 PM
Remember me mentioning in my last journal entry how *ArtSnarks-Artifacts was going to feature me in her blog this month? (because I know you all read my last entry.... right?) Well it happened! Last Thursday I was the artist she so kindly featured in her blog :D! Check it out =] [link]

But that's not all! XD She also did a studio tour (my studio being my paint room at home and my awesome computer desk and big black bag of wonders at school) the following Saturday. You can find that here [link]

The interview and tour are more a collection of short narratives about my insights and memories as an artist than they are a traditional Q and A session. So if that's your thing, read away :) If not, I encourage you to at least click on the links and look at the pictures XD

Other than that, life's been really chill, in a very good way. I just got about to school after going home for the weekend. I cooked.. a lot xD and consequently, found myself feeling the wrath of gluttony. Most of the drawing I've done recently are in my giant sketchbook. Being the silly goose I am, I have no idea where I put my camera charger, so I have no way of documenting these drawings... But I do have some digital work I'll soon be posting.

Ta-ta

Art has always been an unchangeable aspect of my life. It is my one constant in a sea of chronic change. Although my style and subject matter has morphed over the years, my devotion and intimacy with art has remained constant. I do not recall a time I have not respected art, but I only became settled as an artist in the past five years. I have been a helpless addict ever since.
Artistic inspiration struck me first through video games. When I played video games, I entered their world of poignant beauty. Regardless of life's trials, I could take refuge in their realm of fantasy and magic. As quickly as I was captivated by the games' beauty, I wondered at their mystic powers. I grew tired of being their prey. How did the games hold me in their spell? There had to be a logical explanation. What were the game designers doing that I could not wrap my mind around? Subconsciously, I discovered their powers. They capture the emotions of the human soul and manifest it in human creativity. These games were artistic masterpieces devoted to arousing human emotions. They awoke a passion inside me. I wished to harness their power over emotive beauty and express it through my own individuality. This passion broke from me through a pencil and formed shape repeatedly on countless sheets of paper.
Though my artistic passions have changed form throughout the years, they are still boiling stronger than ever. I have branched away from my fanciful figure drawings and have developed an attachment to intense detail and meticulous portraits. I love to hint a smile through every crease of the skin, conduct movement through each strand of hair, and speckle magic in every shimmer of light. Art's impact in my past has focused who I am today. Just as video game once sheltered me from my mundane life, art diverts my mind from life's daily stresses. When I draw, I no longer worry about school, relations, or calories. Memorized as I draw, I nurture my creation to life. Art, whether from a video game or portrait has always been and shall remain my sanctuary.
