MySpace Backgrounds
I am an artist, and a writer. Sometimes I combine the two into a single art form. Sometimes I paint, sometimes I draw with pencil or ink, and sometimes I utilize the highly versatile tools available to digital artists. My art is the attempt at the manifestation of dreams, both light and dark, the quest to bring tangibility to the intangible. Friends are welcome to ask deeper. I do not always answer, but I will return respect with respect.I paint mostly through digital means these days (not to be confused with photo manipulations, which I do sometimes just for the hell of it but don't consider to be the backbone of my work), though I have done quite a bit of work in pastels and Prismacolor pencils in the past. I also do a lot of work within the medium of comics and graphic storytelling. My subject matter tends toward the fantastic, the ghostly, the dreamlike.All artwork featured on this site is my own heart-torn creation, so please show some respect by not stealing.For commission information, please email me here at myspace.My web site: http://www.geocities.com/dream_echoes

People. Artists. People who love art.A quick side note: If you're a band, please don't send add requests, unless I know you personally. I love good music, but I'm getting flooded by band requests. If I come across you and like your music, I will likely add you, but otherwise, personal sites only please. Thanks!If you're a hip hop or rap artist, go away. I don't like that style of music, and I won't add you. There is 0% chance of my adding you. Leave.

Television:

... Is the doorway to mindlessness. But, taken in moderation, things like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the old Highlander series, Supernatural, and Moonlight. Just don't really watch that much anymore though, to be honest.
