It can be hard to open up about what it takes to be an Artist, a Painter, it's not written in stone what makes us, and any real Artist will tell you it's a life that as its highs and its lows it's about producing works that amaze us and hopefully the audience

What makes me tick, what I love to hear from within me, is a dark edgy hint of insanity, and its that insanity that breaks me away from, not this earth, no my feet are firmly here, I just jump a few seconds ahead of time from those around me. I'm still in the same room as you, I just occupy the same space at a different time, here's the bitch, the longer I am on the other side, those few seconds ahead of you the more I am knacked when I return, do this frequent enough, and long enough, and it will destroy you, or almost. The question on everyone's lips is this, what is it like, its heaven, there, so that place does exist, Artist, preview this place but at a high entrance fee. Others that are not Artist get a peep in as well I'm sure. Creation does not come cheap that is true, its a hard process of constantly taking in all of what is around you, form, colour, movement, noise everything goes into that wild mixing pot, with no real predetermined menu or dish in mind. What comes out has been altered, twisted, distorted by what make us Artist, and that depends on how we grew up, our life experiences and how we were educated, but by far, is an inherent quality that was with us at birth.
