Hey dudes, been a while as usual.

I'm in the process of working towards an exhibition at some point and seem to have finally found some sort of direction and inspiration. For real, holeeee shit.

Going to art college might well have been a good idea for some, but my handful of unmotivated months there didn't convince me. So now I'm going down the self taught route, doing arty stuff as best and as focused as I can be - which seems to be better than I used to be, and being self-taught brings a pride and confidence that no stoned art lecturing fucker in Hush Puppies could ever instill in me. I love to read and ponder about art now, and have even started going to exhibitions. The joy of that is that I am not repulsed by a world that used to frighten me away.

I think if I'm going to embrace the whole art thing and roll with it, I really have to embrace it deeply and obsess over it. It's one of the shaky legs of my foundation in so far as one small swipe at my confidence with artwork and I throw the head up, and leave art to the side. But that vicious cycle has gone on too long, I hope to paint regularly, update regularly and get myself a good little website together.

I am easily staggered by things such as these sci-fi speedpaintings of landscapes and other such amazing nerdtacular overly detailed work, but to be honest, that's not me, never has been and never will, just as I prefer a solid dirty groove in my music over any sort of anally induced intricacy. Ever since I read a book on Super Realism I just decided that only a fool would ever compete with a camera. Waste of time, time is of the moment.

What I mean is, I try not to see pictures anymore, I try to feel them, every good image is a two dimensional cluster of emotions. We all love to get attention so why not grab attention with my obsessive use of colour and darkness, HEY LOOK OVER HERE YOU NON-ATTENTION PAYING FUCKS. That's better. I freak out when I see a picture thats too detailed, or not detailed enough... I mean, I freak out when I see art that isn't mine getting the attention that mine could be getting. So I want to make everyone pay attention. I feel the only way to combat art that I dont like, or to challenge the art that I love, is a simple course of action.

Work. I'm gonna get to work. Hope ya all join me on my adventure.
