Right when I want to give up with art I find a new artist that inspires me and all I want to do is paint and draw and do art. The inspiration comes from the dark art though I don't know why I am so drawn to it but I think because dark things don't really live in this world. When walking down the street no one sees these dark creatures, but when they are painted and done well, it takes you to a whole different world one that is magical, deep and dark. Now I don't know why everyone is against the dark mysterious things and images that people come up with or are fond of. Everyone just sees a problem that comes with mutation and and "unpretty" things which brings people to be uncomfortable with it and assume that it is ugly and unwanted. Even though many people have a problem with this I do not, I believe that being brought up liking darkness is not a flaw for people rather a pro towards life. People with this way of thinking are able to see every part of something even if they are "ugly" beautiful in separate ways. Rather looking at an image as a whole, it is better to be cut down and look at each piece visually to see true beauty. Okay so now back to the paintings that I adore and why I adore them. So dark paintings with dark images always have drawn me toward them and I have now realized why. It brings you to a whole new world one that creates beauty in a whole new way something different from the regular something wonderful and imaginative, why look at paintings of flowers when you can look at real flowers why look at paintings of buildings when you can look at a real building. So why is looking at paintings of misshapen creatures and humans and objects such a crime when you can't really see them for yourself. Darkness is from the mind and should be looked as a form of art rather then a form of discussed.

My favorite painters:

Otto Dix

Portrait of Journalist Sylvia von Harden
---- This is one of my favourite paintings and I discovered it not too long ago but I grew a loving for it right away. I have to also admit that I have a bit of a crush on this woman or at least her in the painting if she is actually a real person. Now although this painting is not too dark, just look at her she is not "normal" and I love her for that just look at that face when most might think ugly I say she is beautiful! If I could I would be this woman!
Dr. Stadelmann -----This is another painting by Dix and it hangs in the Art Gallery of Ontario located in Toronto and I remember seeing it when I went a few years ago and falling in love with him. Then when I went 2 weeks ago to the AGO I walked around the gallery looking for this painting and right there standing in the door way was Dr. Stadelmann waiting to great people into the next room. Of course I got really excited when he was there and my dad was all like I hate that painting (which superizes me since he is also much up for the strange things) but at that I replied with I love that painting and he is my favourite artist. Although I do find a greater place in my heart for Sylvia but unfortunately she lives in another gallery of which I have to find and visit her.


Mark Ryden

Now I don't know if I have a favourite painting of Ryden's but I do love all of his work, the detail is just so crazy and the imagery is wonderful. I have bought a book of a whole lot of his works and it is fantastic, here are a couple of his paintings. (Not necessarily my favorites) Now not many of these paintings are have dark creatures but there are some transformations of things and lots of blood and grotesque things in this paintings.

Michael Hussar

------Now Hussar is a new artist for me but I love his stuff. One of his paintings was on LA Ink that a person got a tattoo of which was crazy, the detail and darkness and wonder is compacted into these paintings and they are beautiful!!!
This was the painting that was on LA Ink which is just wonderful and the detail is just amazing I have no idea how he does all of them high lights in the tears and lips and eyes it is just CRAZY!!! The tattoo by Cory was also fantastic! My dad how ever loved this piece of artwork but I guess how can you not.
Here is more of his stuff. Again in no order!... actually just go to that link there are too many and it is hard to bring all of the pictures to the bottom ENJOY!

I'm a man not a disco ball!

Hello well since I have not writen a blog in a long time I thought that I would post one. Although I don't really have anything to say I am going to add my favourite song to this blog. But you know me and once I start writing I am unable to stop the ideas just keep on coming out and 5 seconds after I think that this will be the shortest blog ever and only include a song that I LOVE, it will have a whole story writen. Although I just came up with an idea for another bolg. So yes this is my new favorite song and I listen to it mulitpul times a day and drive my roommates nuts even though it was Jacks fult that I discovered this song because he had it on his pod and I listened to it and now I am addicted it is so great but now they are sick and tired of it becuase i would listen to it over and over again. This has now resulted in when I was changing the song to Goodbye Horses, Jack thought that I was changing it back to my favourite song and started to through paint brushes at me but I assured him that I was not changing it to that song and to another song that could be equaly as good. So I have no idea why this is my favourite song but it gives me a very happy feeling and it makes me wanta dance and it also gives me butterflys in my stomic and I have no idea why. I just also realized that the spelling thing is off and I was very happy becuase I thought that I was spelling this all right but it turns out that it could all long anyways here is my favourite song:

Future is the Future - Electric 6.



If money talks then I’m a mime,
If time is money then I’m out of time
And I was once with a million quid
Have a seat I’ll tell ya what I did

Can’t sit down 'cause I’m a dancer,
And you know that I’m the answer
Die slow die fast now
Cause its never going to last now

We’ll karaoke all night long,
We’ll Macarena till the break of dawn
We’ll drive around until the morning light
All night, all night, all night, all night

Baby, you got to signal before you turn,
I think you’re heading for the disco burn
Cause the future is in the future,
And the past is a big brick wall,
You know I need to make you understand now,
I’m a man not a disco ball

Can’t sit down 'cause I’m a dancer,
And you know that I’m the answer
Die slow die fast now
Cause its never going to last now

We’ll karaoke all night long,
We’ll Macarena till the break of dawn
We’ll drive around until the morning light
All night all night all night all night

We’ll karaoke all night long,
We’ll Macarena till the break of dawn
We’ll drive around until the morning light
All night, all night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night
