=Artist Statement :=

I'm not really artistic to start with but I want to enhance my knowledge of being an artist to know how creative everyone can be, but before I do that I must learn how creative I can be. So in my drawings there are usually a mystery behind it or why I usually draw what I drew. Simple, I just think of how I could've been treated in the past and I just draw based off of that. What inspired me to draw is because of how artistic my uncle's are. They used to tell me they would draw pictures at school and sell them all the time and that's probably what also inspired others as well. My goals are to show the meaning of each picture in their own way without me actually having to say anything, but then again that is complicated.

My work comes from basic everyday life, well at least the meaning does. I enjoy using markers since you could darken the picture in some parts and it would look really nice as if it would fit everywhere in the drawings. What I do most while drawing is shading, since in most picture I have to do it all the time and I start to get used to it. I am attempting to draw one bigger things and trying to explore more into how different colors can make others expand out more. My biggest challenge right now is drawing real living things. Things that are living and moving are harder to draw because you must remember how they looked and try to redraw them without seeing them a second time. Since I've seen people standing outside of shops and just draw others walking around without knowing that they are going to be inside of an artwork, so they won't stop and just say something ordinary like "sure you can draw me and i'll just stand here for five minutes". I think it must be hard to redraw living creatures that aren't posing for you to draw. So I am attempting to do that int he future. What i'm exploring right now is just simple things such as dogs or other drawings that other's have already created. Maybe I can bounce my ideas out of that in the future hopefully.

I'm not really artistic unfortunately for me, but i'll just start drawing something eventually and so I drew this. I guess it was supposed to show the sunrise in the colors of black and white. == I drew this to show how sometimes in life you may feel like your a puppet and there's nothing you can do since your fate is to follow the rules of the ones who created you such as in this drawing i'm talking about the shadow. Almost like, father like son.

This drawing is supposed to be how The Bermuda Triangle could look like from a bird's eye view. Maybe the landscape showed some illusions to make the planes crash. I want to travel there and to see for myself one day even after hearing the rumors of no one returning. I tried drawing things about how we might someday go back into the past using a robot and see all of the events being almost what we thought. Such as dinosaurs eating others and how they could survive or even for how long. I drew this because it was almost Christmas and I wanted to draw something to show my holiday spirits. My goal was to show how Christmas could be a great holiday by looking at mostly the background. This photo is to show how you can't just enter into someone's lives even as hard as you try because if they don't show you the door, you mine as well quit since they won't accept you. Since if you see the butterly is already morphed with a plant I soon called it a plantifly but if you also look it can't morph with the house because the house just wouldn't accept it (yes the house is the 3D weird looking object or supposed to be 3D or near to it).
