.M.O.V.E.

VISUAL EXPRESSION
Some people split their artistic side from their person, but as far as im concerned; I am it all, what one side of me is the other is also that (probably just slightly more twisted). So it would be rather pointless.
Born in the city, but was thankfully taken away into the country. So ive lived both sides. Now I reside in a small country town but make a habit of staying in the urban places for longer periods of time. Simply out of emotion for the rushing everywhere. You can never get enough of going to much, to fast and way tooo all over the place for pointless reasoning.
All ive ever wanted to do was be an artist.
I have one vivid memory of being in primary school and being told to draw a picture of what ever we'd like to be when we grew up. People drew stick firemen, and police men with no arms, and even teachers that looked like heads with boxes. But i drew a sausage person, fingers and all, painting on an easel.
Now there is some passion for you.
Sure I've changed my mind many times throughout this short space of time I've lived on this planet. From wanting to be an accountant, lawyer, writer, film maker, actor, musician, animator.
But really deep down I know my basis for everything i do and will build apon is that I AM AN ARTIST.
Sitting through economics class drawing, you sort of realise your not going to be able to sit 9-5 doing bookwork with numbers.
Sure I have goals to make a film, to write a book. But Art is my first love. The only love I'd die doing.
Im basically a traditionalist, liking to work with my hands. Using basically anything that makes a mark; pencils, paints, charcoal. I have now also partaken in the amazing truck load of digital.
Some people will be artistic for money, for the like of doing it and even for the escape it brings. I do it for the emotional release. Perhaps thats why people find that my work has a certain element of strength, yearning and want. For the world knows no artist is an artist for alot of money, if its art from the heart, it doesnt reap the rewards till your dead.
But with all art its all up to the viewers perception, its not me who decides the end reaction to a work. Its you out there looking in on something im trying to show, even if the meaning I try to push is lost and you see something different.
If i get a reaction to the creation, I'm a happy artist.
With pencil and paper in hand i can take on this world.
