Dorian

hey there, my name is dorian and i live in philadelphia, pa. About a year ago, I moved to Philadelphia to pursue a career as an Art Therapist providing services for individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness. If I had to describe it, well...Simply and purely amazing. I love every minute of it. Studying art therapy and the creative process more deeply, further opened my eyes and made me fully aware of the power of art and how it taps into my psyche or unconscious. Getting chills writing about it. The best part about it, is staying in the metaphor, either my own or another's and not delving into the pictorial image in order to gain a better perspective. One can learn so much about a person's (or my own) passions, desires, fears, pain, thought process, reasoning skills, and the list goes on...and it is all done by staying with the produced image and the creative process; Not, and I stress NOT through assumptions. This is the only way you can truly grasp an understanding of your own or another's past and present experiences, relationships, state of mind and so forth. I could write so much more on this topic, though, I would probably require a lot more room. So, if you're reading this and you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line and ask away. I'll be more than happy to answer or explore your curiosity. Anyways, as I've mentioned earlier, I moved to Philadelphia from a little town near Pittsburg about a year ago. Still learning the ropes of city living. Exciting time and experience for me, being a suburbanite all my life. I must admit, it is sooooo different from what I'm used to, but I am enjoying it. Everything is literally at your doorstep. I'm so horrible at writing these things, that I don't even know where to begin...so here it goes... I'm very easy going, don't hold back my emotions and very open to displaying how I feel at any given moment (i'm not affraid to cry during movies, you'll know when i am happy, sad, mad, or in my artist depressed mood, which happens once in awhile, but its nothing bad, its a time when i need to be alone and think). Mellow, laid back, "chivalry is not dead" , "don't judge a book by its cover". I absolutely love anything that has to do with art, from artwork to the creative process. I'm also a very open-minded individual who likes to voice his own opinion. I'm not affraid to speak my mind, in other words, I'm honest. Honesty is the best policy. I can be shy and when it comes to meeting new people and I'm not that outgoing (guess it would be better to say assertive). I tend to live my life by this philosophy, I don't try to impress anyone in order to make them like me, if they don't like who I am, that's ok, no harm done. Still being somewhat new to the area and with all my close friends living near Pittsburgh and Cleveland, I'm looking for people to hang out with. People with common interests and hobbies. People who would accept me for who I am. I am a person and like all, i have needs, lol. Just realized the portion about me may sound a bit egotistical. Take it as it is.
YES, I designed the album cover above for a great local artist who refers to himself as BILK. If you dig the cover, check out his page http://www.myspace.com/bilkmusic.

If you like what you see and are interested in or have plans for someone to design a cover, drop me a line and we can work things out!

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. --Alexander Graham Bell
"I had a goodside but the past will always be. Can't disown space for us to Love and keep. Why do I always look back? Why do I live in the past? Forever Yesterday, Forever Yesterday! My love is growing always, but my love will always be kept in the future, for us to love and keep. Why don't I start, as I will see. I always want it to be Forever Yesterday, Forever Yesterday! Why can't I stop and I will soon see always want it to be Forever Yesterday. I must believe slowly and deeply. I will soon see the time has come."
