With respect to myspace, wasn't Andy Warhol right when he said everybody in the future will be famous for fifteen minutes? Some wise friends of mine suggested I make a myspace page for my art. it's a bit of a toothache for me to write about myself as I am slightly nondescript, so let's despite my coyness and start the randomness! I had the fortunate experience of attending UofA for studio art and I’m not ruling out the possibility of going to graduate school. Art is quite literally my life. It can be surreal sometimes staring at seven blank wood panels and then seeing them come to fruition. If you're curious and want to know why I create paintings the way I do, just go to my official website. I'm almost a typical Gemini. Ya know, fun loving, benevolent, goofy, great sense of humor, easily liked, gets bored easily, impassive, and young at heart with the exception of not being two-faced, multi-personality afflicted, or contrary. i am also the type that clashes instantly with nefarious personality types. And my advice to these kinds of people would be this: deal with what you don't like about yourself before you try to break down other people and in the end, hopefully, you'll have nothing negative to spew. I've had the misfortune of being in the company of some people who use the world 'ugly' while referring to a person's physicality and I find this to be vulgar and dispiriting. I believe strongly that what we say and how we act towards other people is an outward reflection of how how we feel about ourselves. I should get down from my pulpit before you assume I'm self righteous--which I am far from ever being. So anyhow, I crave and appreciate my independence and I’m very free spirited. Something that might be boring for me one week might be fascinating for me the next, and vise versa. I am the type who is fascinated and curious about the many facets of life that help bring me a lot closer to the truth; science and metaphysics, for example, both explain what the other cannot. I think our consciousness is an illusion that makes the makeup of our material world appear to be the be all and end all. There are things we can’t do except while being in a physical body--just as there are also things we can’t do except while being outside the body (birth/death, etc.) I could go on and on about how you’re not just your physical body and I believe that once a person can grasp this abstraction, true enlightenment ensues; I hope to learn a lot while "leasing" my body! Suffice it to say, I consider everyone to be a spirit having a physical experience. Everyday my perspectives change and they could be measured in millimeters or milestones and I'm usually conscientious of becoming a better version of the person I was yesterday. I expect a lot from myself and I definitely do not put myself on any pedestal. And yet, having said that, I wouldn't want to be anyone else other than who I am.
