What?

I'm sorry, you'll have to speak up. I'm a bit hard of hearing you see.

Man in Chaos

Sometimes everything feels like a disaster and other times it feels beautiful. I attempt to survive regardless.

Nas's First Album

When people shut you out and close doors on you you've got to maintain this mentality.

Reposting Bad Habits Rehashing Bad Lines

Existence within Reality or inspite of it?

Trying to find a balance between the exterior world and the interior world, I feel sometimes as if I'm stuck in this cube that remains unchanged despite the progress I see all around me.

Worth?

I don't do things like this too often. I wonder if the time I spend on a drawing is more important than its actual content. Also, working this way was probably driving me slightly insane.

Which Way is Up?

I couldn't decide which direction I liked this one better, I think it helps to see the world from different angles.

What of These Lines?

Sometimes I forget to pay attention to what I'm doing and I end up with compositions like these.

Island of the Mind

There is no fear in being alone. A paradise to some can be a prison to another.

Can't Think Straight

I have made many mistakes in life. I realize I cannot separate myself from them but live on in spite of them. This exists as a failed attempt to consider myself apart from the disorder and that although I tried to remove myself from the perversion of a certain lifestyle, I remain connected through thoughts and memories. It is the idea of self against the world and that is where this drawing fails because I have learned that the self is an integrated and necessary function of existence.  

Recovery is Tedious

Some days it feels as though the contours are always in a state of fluctuation and the most menial and simple of tasks can take the greatest amount of energy. Also, confusing the temporary for the permanent can lead to a neglect of good. Crab walking can be fun though.

A Burned Tree

Someday all that exists will be burned in cleansing fire. It is not a question of if we should fear this fire, but a question of if we ever really appreciated the things where they exist and for exactly what they are. It has been said that there are many things out in the world to see but there exists a great more within to discover and enjoy as we progress through both life and death.

A Few More Old Works

Some work from 2009-2010

Pure Chaos

Does abstract expressionism have a place in contemporary society?

Apple of my Eye

We are given the gifts of living, eating fruit from trees may be one of the best (and a considerably poor metaphor for original sin).

Don't Put That Up Your Nose!

What you see is what you get. What you feel is what you have. What you know is worthless.

An Old Work

The ways in which we see the world are altered by all those that came before us.

I have such blackness in my thoughts.

Abstracted Skull

We exist as momentary combinations of elements that fade into the distance
