Passionately Artistically Creative... I love to escape into creativity and dream. I have been since I was a baby. I choose to paint interesting subjects, with good energy!
As creative as my paintings are my careers and background.I have a BA degree in Psychology (Cognitive & Psycholinguistics) and in Art with a minor in German. I am 1/2 Dutch, fluent and have traveled to Holland over 12 times.
My art is my life and work. I put an insane amount of energy into it, that surpasses what most people can put into it.. I sacrifice everything in order to create and live just with a penache for; food, sleep and exercise.
Hope you enjoy myspace.. I love music too.. I love everything. I am an Artist!
I sell originals, prints, t-shirts and have a unique line of other merchandise to be launched. I dream and create all day, turn the reoccuring dreams into goals and make it happen.
I have so many huge things cooking, only a handful know of. I'll post some specials on myspace for those who want to score something before I can move to Maui and just chill and paint and the monkey's will run the business!
Really it is all subjective, what are words?
Judge me by my art
THE PROOF IS IN THE PAINTING!
Peace & Goodness.. Erik the Artist
PS. I am also a singer/songwriter, love it as much as painting! I can play my guitar and sing forever.
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting, real people, passionate, dreamers, creative artists, kind souls, art appreciators, fans, leaders, honest, kind, positive, classy, caring with something to say and making a difference every day.
****I appreciate some form of interaction from those wishing to add me as a "friend". So write me something personal along with your friends request. I DO NOT ADD people just to add, thank you.
I have little energy or time to check new band adds. If you like my art, let me know.. I may also delete added friends for tasteless photo's, nincompoop comments, or to many bulletins for the retarded.
Thank you ETA! Good to hear from you and I appreciate your comment and I really enjoy these meals in a bottle! ;D They are the bomb and so is your art! You got talent...there's no denying that and I share your site with others! ;)
