Artist's Comments

He everybody is been a while since I've gotten the time or inspiration to draw any of my own stuff. I've been very fortunate to have a lot of work lined up for me, and making a good living at it, but it got to a point were I lost the drive to draw. Throw in the everyday human problems of conflict, complicated or unfurling romance, and lack of companionship and you a person that is beet up physically, emotionally, and mentally. I've been researching and reading allot about different artis around the world. Recently I've come accross graffity as an inspiration, and this was the result.

There's allot of hidden messages representing the current state of my life.

First, for those of you that physically know me you would notice that I actually drew my self thin. I'm not thin yet, but I've been very focus on loosing weight. So far I've lost about 20 pounds in the last 3 weeks.

Second you will see to the right that there's an angel wings with a devils tail. That represent my conflict with my cultural, and personal beliefs. When you grow up in a very religious house, you really don't have a lot of emotional freedom. Everything will condemn you to hell.

Third the tattoo that is on my arm represent the company that I've started. I'm in the process of putting together, and at the moment is my pride and joy. It's a part of me.

Fourth you will see a broken heart to the right inside a chamber. At this point in my life I haven't been to lucky with love. I think is for the best, but it still hurts. This tank is being fueled, but a can of what it seems to be a Diet Pepsi. I will explain. My boss sat down with me and literally explain my entire love life with just a simple Diet Pepsi, and a Diet Coke. I personally love Diet Pepsi, but if there's nothing else I will settle for a Diet Coke. Diet Pepsi representing my current inspiration, and the Diet Coke representing all of my other possibilities in love. Me being as stubborn as I am I will do anything to get the Diet Pepsi. Anyway bottom line is, my failed attempt to get the Diet Pepsi has been fueling my broken heart with negative thoughts. So I placed in in the chamber were it's painfully emotions can be heal, or bottle up for the time being.

Fifth you will see that there are shapes of progress, such ass the climbing stairs, the plant growing on the side of the image, my hair expanding like it's alive, the blackness growing from my pant leg. It means starting to grow as a person, woman, business woman, and a career woman.

Six the board that I'm drawing on is a futuristic skateboard. It doesn't run on wheels, just air propulsion. It represents my future. Plus I see my self growing even more as a person, that's why I'm drawing the plant grown on it.

Seventh, the sun represent, my shield. In this world you have to watch your back. Our society is becoming more vile, and savage all under the name of money. I'm not saying that being wealthy is a bad thing, is what people do to get there that makes me sick. Never drop your guard or people will take advantage of you.

Last and not least, the name of my inspiration. I there name is hidden about 5 times. This person has really made and impact in my life, and even though I don't see this person as much, I think of them as my reason to improve and love my self.

I will try to post more stuff up soon, but in the mean time take care guys.

I understand, it's about $ 2.95 for regular in my area at the cheapest. It blows hard core.
