DIA DE LOS MUERTOS WALL

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. O, Lucky me, I've found my place in the Sun only a few feet away, outside my back door. A place where I can go, to find or lose myself...By creating artful pieces I can find what I am seeking, a full requital of my striving pain..Art can do much, but the maxims must sure, a weak or wounded brain admits no cure..:-)) especially in a case of severe Love-sickness. . And when I am going Coo- Coo and I can't seem to focus, some of my best work had been borned.... Creating is much like insanity... NO, it is total insanity! Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. See what I mean? :-)) Over and over again". To be an Artist is a way, reason and an excuse to be exempt from society. We are expected to do and say crazy things...I will not lie to you and tell you that I do or say crazy things on purpose...because, No I do not...I am only saying here that my Life and the way that I am can be justified and defined as a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world...so what? What is it to you? :-)) I enjoy doing and saying whatever I feel like at the moment. I have that right! So do you even if you aren't creative. Also, it is remarkable how similar the pattern of love (of Art) is to the pattern of insanity. The pleasures of love (in this case Paint-ual Intercourse) are pains that become desirable, where sweetness and torment blend, and so love of Art is voluntary insanity, infernal paradise, and celestial hell -- in short, harmony of opposite yearnings, sorrowful laughter, a soft sparkling diamond...
When creating Art, I am joyous. unpredictability is the life of my Creativity... I find delight in events not forecasted, happenings without explanation, retrospective..I am often spontantious, whether I am standing still or fleeing like a bat from out of the sky...you may find me and my work as spiritual, soulfu, sad, happy, barbaric, comical or maybe even stupid....however you may find it, you will never find it Dead! I love to create, I am an Artist! I am here to live Out Loud.. I feel I am free- spirited enough to create freely upon my imagination souly. imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world. My God, what would the World be like without Imagaination. What would the World be like without Art!? It is by our recreation of the world that we are enabled to tell and show others through our artwork what it is we are feeling and how we see the World.
