please view my works up close, despite my sketchy style they are designed to be scrutinized up close!
all hand drawn from imagination...
our minds are our greatest ally
and our greatest weapon.

you, the people of earth, are very lucky.
Although most of us never get to realise this, we are living in a constant state of bliss.
this sounds contrary, i know.
there is suffering everywhere, you say.
school is too hard, work is getting you down, and everyone everywhere feels ostricized by their neighbours or family.

but.

and this is a big but...

life wouldnt be worth the living if it didnt throw us curve balls this way.
by falling out with someone you learn a valuable lesson,
by loosing everything you learn to enjoy what you do have.

this is what planet earth is about;
realising what we have.
and here on this planet we are really lucky to be the artists, writers, photographers and artisans of all forms.

we are the ones that are capable of creating our own visions, putting forth our ideas and above all,
always remembering to respect our fellow artists.
no matter how far down the road of life you are, there will always be others who can do better,
there will always be someone out there smarter,
someone out there better at drawing...

but think for a moment of ancient greece...ancient egypt.
these countries are remembered, as all ancient cultures are, by their artisans.
and so when we, the artists of terra firma, are looked back on in generations to come,
we will be the ones sculpting what the 21st century began like.

Always remember, each and every person here on DA,
YOU ARE THE ARTISTS OF THE WORLD.
TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE A BRILLIANT REPRESENTATION OF THE WORLD OF TODAY.
UNITED WE ARE AMAZING.
DEVIDED WE ARE LOST.

Namaste (lit: respect me as i respect you), people of earth.

LOVE AND PEACE TO ALL.

P.S : im still doing commissions, taking offers for collaborations and will be funding a traditional-only contest soon with my own hard earned points... so need those commissions, yeah? peace out y'all.

no stealing/ copying my work please.
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: ali nadem and nickleback. sick yeah?
  • Reading: Jean M. Auel : land of painted caves
  • Watching: out for work as an illustrator
  • Playing: my electric guitar quite a bit.
  • Eating: chocolate crispy cake by bizkit66
  • Drinking: COFFFEEEEEEEEEEEE :D

I am perhaps one of few people who likes to give themselves a real challenge XD
i use the cheapest possible materials and try to attain something looking clean and professional, while in keeping with my own unique style.
and i love EPIC scenery!
i work mainly within fantasy, sci fi and figure drawing, but am capable of almost anything i put my mind to. i love challenges and finding imaginative people.
i have very complicated beliefs but do not follow a mainstream faith.
I would classify myself these days as a gnostic pagan with buddhist ideals.
If you suffer existencial angst and want to chat about where the world is going, send me a message, we can chat... maybe you will be surprised.

if you really vibe from my work, you are moer than welcome to donate points generously here: [link]

I love your work and look forward to seeing it when ever you get a chance. I know what you mean about spending so much time going through messages. I don't get much time to work on my art anymore :-(

I really hope you enjoy the group!
