LOVE, SEX and CUPCAKES- He said She said...

What is hilarious about you,

is that your volume of secrets and internalized emotions,

are hidden as loud and as vibrant as the personality you display.

MY GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

The way I design, paint and draw is constantly changing.

Maybe that's a bad thing - I've never been very consistent
or particularly good with keeping the momentum up with projects.

I'm easily bored.

I easily loose interest in things...

I used to doodle a lot and then I began to work more...

I'm trying to build consistency and I'm trying to revisit and
re-develop my own graphic language and identity...

My visual vocabulary is starting a new evolution process I think.

I miss doodling because I used to have sketch book upon sketchbook filled of doodles and ideas and I think working as a designer, while has done a lot of good as also been damaging my own free-thinking idea process and I can't loose that.

I started drawing these arrows with hearts for the points and I'm beginning to draw them everywhere and stabbing everything. Even cup-cakes and sweets.

.....................................

This guy after seeing my painting for over a year told me that "I"m very obsessed with myself"

I replied, "No, I'm very Obsessively Self-Conscious. But anyway, who said my paintings were me."
