Break on Through to the Water Side

At my heart, I am an artist. I remember back in when I could barely hold a pencil, I used to pause whatever (typically Disney) VHS my parents would park me in front of and draw what I saw. I have come a little ways since then.

Mermaids are one of my favorite subjects (SURPRISE). Something about their hair and the curving lines through their fins really speaks to me. I enjoy the flow you can add to them, I find regular humans to be a more rigid subject. As a psychedelic artist, I like to take natural or fantastic ideas and deconstruct them. I pull inspiration from fantasy, mythology, literature...and sometimes just the squiggly lines I doodle when I'm bored. It's a great way to get a piece started! Then it's just a matter of repeating patterns, shapes and lines.

Creating something on a blank sheet of paper is cathartic, I'm definitely having a hard time transitioning to digital media, and tend to resist it entirely. Call me old fashioned.
