A wonderful romance, a horrible breakup, surrounded by friends, lost and alone, moments of bliss, and bottomless despair. Much like life.
BLACK BRIAR THORN is a multimedia expression that is loosely based on my life. Its root is built on my music, branching through video to graphic novels. It tells the story of innocence lost, the fall into darkness, and efforts made to claw a way back to some kind of redemption.
And as my life is the inspiration for this work it at times is also my greatest adversary to its completion. I am currently recovering from a car accident that has put a stop to the project. My hope is that my recovery is swift and I can again begin to tell the tale..
BLACK BRiAR THORN's Favorite Quotations
We do what we must . . . Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all."
~ Dream ("Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman")
