External Souls v2.0

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 24, 2008, 9:37 PM


New Series

As you can see, I've been making some more abstract artwork rather than focusing on making another brush set. I've decided to create a series called External Souls.

18th April Update -
There is one piece of this series to go. I don't know what it is, what it means or when I will do it. I'm hoping for tomorrow if inspiration strikes. School has sapped my inspiration, I feel blank and dull.
20th April Update -
Yeah. Went to see Sub Con Warrior 2.0 last night. Fucking awesome play. Then I had a drama rehearsal for 6 hours today so I really don't have time this weekend! Agh.
24th April Update -
Finished, finally. Home sick from school!
25th April Update -
Decided to continue series until I feel it is over.

External Souls

The series is made up of abstract pieces so really the meaning is in the eye of the beholder however, I shall explain the name of the series for what it means to me.
The pieces in it are titled reflecting the parts of myself that caused my inspiration for making the artwork. So in turn, each piece is a reflection of a part of myself (soul) and are outside of myself (external). I hope they inspire you as well.

The artists that made this possible or inspired me //

Wow =] That's got to be the best compliment! Abstract art can be simple or complex.. it's about the emotion and I'm glad that my work portrays it appropriately.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved.
