(Dark Art)

Dark style. 

The ‘Art’ you see here was created using some very old software on my computer. I have an updated version but the older one is like a familiar paint brush. More comfortable. More personal. I began much later in my life to ‘Paint in the machine’. Even though, since my twenties, I have designed posters for my shows. I had not gone beyond that. I just made flyers to get some bums on seats. Then a moment came when I found myself unable to write. My personal life had exploded in front of me. No empathy please! It was a romantic hand grenade of my own creation. LOL. I was, at the time, writing a script for an up-and-coming show. And now, my mind was fried. The words were frozen on my screen, no matter how much I tried. I could not write. But, my fingers became interested in noodling around in a paint program with some photos of myself I had taken. I guess the emotion was looking for an alternate manner to express itself and decant from my heart. The first results were in a collection called Orpheus. I have since then continued to paint and herein are some of the pieces I have done.
