If your identity was a one note song, how could you sing?
I am an LA artist, want to see some of my art check the photos. If you are a gallery or museum I am interested in showing my pieces, just ask. if you like something and want to purchase it, just ask. all things are for sale except the sold things.
read this before you ask me to show
I am stepping my way through the minefields of my mind... mind-fields I guess is what it should be called.
it you talk to me you may find I am seriously serious at moments and seriously sarcastic at others. if you can tell the difference you are doing better than me somedays. my humor may come across as weird or corny. most of the time I am sad except when I'm at my happiest making art. I do other stuff but usually it doesn't make me feel happy. I love music, but do not play. I love writing thing but because of how my mind is I can't always write. my art is autobiographical and not. most of the time you can find me there but not as you see me in reality. I want to live in the places I paint and draw. I want to escape. I will not hurt anyone even though they feel the need to hurt me. I am nice and generous if I love you. I have been in love once... I love men but they don't seem to return the feeling. I don't know if I understand the love that comes with lies. truthfulness is a good approach to life. lying can only get you into trouble...
