About Me

My name is Mike. I'm 25 and I'm an art/music/movie enthusiast. I've been studying graphic art for a while now, still taking classes. I've found that familiar themes that tend to come up in my artwork are human emotions and states. It interests me to think of how a mind can get to some of the more odd places that minds tend to go. So love, fear, paranoia, and other types of mental and soulful strain tend to appear in my work fairly often. Whatever seems the most interesting to me at the time, or sometimes what I'm feeling. Once I said that people come into the world fairly blank and the world colors them, and also that I like to capture some of the more interesting colors (to me at least). I've always been interested in the ideas of balance and symmetry too.If you know me or are interested in my work, add me. I'm always glad to hear from everyone. A great deal more about my interests can be learned Here..

My Interests

"Outsider Art", understanding the thoughts of other current thinking artists (from this day and age particularly), balance and symmetry, humor, geometry, zoology, music & musicians, moguls, psychology (one-word mouthful), people and human interactions (another mouthful), watercolor painting, acrylic painting, contour drawings, and a lot of other things.

I'd like to meet:

-People that don't have to be right all the time, empathetic people, patient people, intelligent people, thinkers, creative people (they don't have to be artists, but they usually are), people who act the same alone or in a crowd.and YOU...(unless you're an asshole with no redeeming qualities)
