artistic obession

redlist told me that i should make art that i enjoy -- if i wanted to make art. something that is so simple, but sometimes very hard for people to grasp. this is what i did when i started writing graffiti and what a wonderful world that opened up for me. since my arrest and time away from street writing -- ive been in and out of depression and have to admit that i put art on the backburner for years because i just didn't have the same drive that i used to. thankfully with the usage of my beautiful antidepressants and the wonderful season, i have started painting and creating art that i like -- but is a step above to actually create (well more than just writing letters).

this new art ive been creating is definitely an evolution -- am do only believe that i am at the beginning of where i can go and grow with this. i actually wouldn't even know what to call "it" because the style that i am attracted to the most really came out of a fusion of different artistic and cultural combinations.

its also the certain style that ive always seen myself looking like and dressing as. something that has also been way easier to do and very motivating since ive lost all of my "depression" weight of about 15 extra pounds that i never wanted on my body anyway.

the best words i have to describe it are: "day of the dead - vintage pinup - chola - hiphop chick"

i found an INCREDIBLE artist today and i cant stop searching his site at all! his name is mike giant and also a writer, is totally on this style that i LOVE that i dont have enough words to describe.
