I know there are a lot of creative people out there on this forum...

I was going to start a new painting tomorrow (today actually) a big one. 18' by 24' inches, and I think its just going to be one huge puzzle. I can't draw for anything, but I can write. I also did some religious art, that my T and religious leader who's helping me, was really really happy about.

I don't want it to be one of those...I think she trying to say....I can be blunt. And this painting is of pain, angry, shame, guilt, why shouldn't it be just like " whoa...!???? In each puzzle piece I'm going write a word. I want it to be blunt, I want to show everything that I've experience....raw and open.

I've even though of using blood, but that would properly be weird, right?

Any thoughts? I'm sure some of you use art as a type of therapy....

Since I started painting, it's brought an entire world I never knew to me. An outlet I've have had. Frustration too, because sometimes it's hard to decide things. Sanity and Insanity all at once. And having ADHD does not help at all...but at least I'm finishing what I'm starting...one by one. And since I get to see my results as I paint and I'm just doing it from the heart and for once not giving a damn how other people will see my work or me, It feels GREAT!!

I've had lots of idea's for new paintings, the painting I am doing now ( trying to make a point of finishing the one I'm on before I start a new one), religous paintings, angry painting...painting I could give to my mother for Christmas.

Right now I'm painting just words. With Ink, I think it gives it a good look....

But there's been this religious one that I've thought of that really....Makes me excited! There's a verse in the Qur'an that says:

"And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge." 30:22

My plan was to write this in Arabic and then many different languages from all over the world, what can say that verse better????


I'm getting somewhere...Just have to take a few steps back sometimes to get there.

Art in its many forms is a wonderful way to express things that can be hard for many to talk about. Many people use art as a form of stress reliese and others just for the fun of it.

That being said I invite everyone here to get their art on. Drag out those dusty old note books and slap em on the scanner. Lets see what everyone out there has to share!

This is Dark Bunny. Kinda a disturbed little comic I do from time to time.

And don't worry it's just one of my pen names on there so no need to take it down.

When I do stuff like this one I'm trying to get out of my own body. People watch what they want. Not much different when I draw. My wishes and dreams.

In my own mind I have a while world. People, places, personalities... Often I run there when things get really bad. If my hands hurt to much to draw then I look at my old pictures. Put myself into the shoes of the things I draw and focus on them and what they do.

yes you will end up seeing alot of female forms in my stuff. No I'm not strictly gay or searching only for a woman. I'm bi but the reason I do mostly females? Kinda reflects on me. Like I already said.

I've always wanted to find that one person who would accept me. I've already moved past the point in my healing that I'm looking for a hero to save me. Just one person who is stable. No extra stress to throw on my back cus I just can't handle it. But the one person who just wants someone to share a life. Those little moments that so many people take for granted. I've been threw so many hard relationships that I did this out of that one want.

It's that one wish. Not for lust or perfection. Just a simple love. But I think everyone wishes for that.

These I use to make for sale with a friend of mine. This friend turned out to be a very ill spirited person. She tried to convince me she was under constant demonic attack from her mother. She did some horrible things to me and ended up helping my mother to get my son. I haven't been able to do much with dream catchers after that. I gave away all the ones I had on me when I left that place. She stole the majority as I was moving and sold them.

I have problems even being around eagle feathers after her. Unless any of you have Native American blood I don't expect you to understand that. Don't worry about trying to.

I was feeling so much that conflicted I just started throwing colors and geometrics. Fell back onto a math program to make this one. It's a purely geometric work.

It's layers. Layers upon layers and I'm always trying to tear my own layers apart but I still haven't been able to.

 

[shadowchaser]

This is a very old work of mine. The water mark is because of people trying to steal it in the past. Again it's just me wanting anything but the situation I'm in. Wanting my own fantasy.

So glad you started this shadowchaser.

Not Native American, but I do understand about the dream catchers, and so much more.
