Who am I?

$Moonbeam13 posted this up on her journal for Self Promotion month and I've been seeing it around. So here we go:

1. Who are you?

I'm a dreamer for the most part with my mind always wandering out there. I've been alive for two decades now. I have a quiet nature, though I can be very talkative once I'm comfortable. I'm a Libra, so balance and duality are important to me. :P I'm a big fan of figure skating and gymnastics but I can't do either to save my life. :lol: Err, I think that's about it. I'm not really an interesting person. :)

2. What is your artistic passion?

My artistic passion is both photomanipulation and drawing. I started drawing at a young age. I have a knack for observing and being able to imitate what I saw. It manifests itself in drawing (..... and sometimes impersonations! :D) Drawing has been a wonderful escape and release for my imagination as well as a coping device under high stress from school. Photomanipulations came into the picture when I was at a lost with my drawing. I was fascinated with works from `azurylipfe and =ThisYearsGirl when I first combed through deviantART. To this day it still amazes me what artists can do with ordinary photos, Photoshop, and dedication.

3. Why did you get into art?

I got into art as a way to entertain myself as a kid. I was and still am a hopeless daydreamer. Art was a good way to channel that and as I said before, art also became a coping device. Art is also one of the safest ways I can express myself most honestly.

4. How do you inspire yourself?

I don't think that's how it's suppose to work. :lol: I'm inspired by other artists; visual artists, dancers, musicians, actors, film makers and writers. I'm inspired by work that is aesthetically pleasing but also thought-provoking and/or emotionally stirring. I'm most inspired by my fellow peers. Their best pushes me to strive and do my best. Then of course, like many others, music is also a great inspiration; both lyrical and instrumental. My life experiences have influenced my art (but not always). My life experiences influence my values and standards so my art does sometimes reflect that. I think it's inevitable. Our ties (or a lack of) to other people bring out the best and worst of us. Art is a good reflection of both sides of interpersonal connections. Other times, stock photos has a way of providing inspiration as well and it goes to show you how phenomenal stock artists are! :headbang:

5. Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years.

I would like to see myself attending/graduating from art school. Most of what I know is from self-training but I would like to attend school to polish up and explore other mediums, like pottery. I'd love the idea of making my own pots and painting faux-Greek images on them. :) I would also like to work within the art industry designing or have an art book out. If not, given the state of the world as of late, I'd at least like to be happy and healthy with a better sense of myself.

Peace. :heart:

Side Note: Midterms at its worst, art must be on hold. I will be back sometime in November after I get through this congestion of work.

deviantID

I am mainly self-taught in the field of art, with one year of art class in middle school. My primary art mediums are photomanipulation and traditional pencil art. I consider myself to be an artist in progress as I am always growing and learning through this process. In the journey of my artistic growth, my greatest asset is my eye for detail and for imitation.

I started with traditional art, sketching still life and cartoons. In recent years, I've developed my own style of drawing that I no longer need to imitate. However, I am slowly learning to refine my work. With digital art, I started it the same way, by imitating, as a learning tool until I was finally able to photomanip with my own skill. I've come a long way but there's always room for growth.

My primary genres of artwork are surreal, fantasy and dark. I draw inspiration from life, nightmares, and philosophical concepts. I strive to be creative and thought-provoking. Art is a hobby but I hope to have a career out of it.
