Art is a therapeutic method I use to calm my brain. With it I can express my current emotion in a very elaborate and stylized way that is impossible to do with words. What kick started my fascination with art is probably a combination of early childhood "Nintendo" games and a steady dose of "Captain Underpants" books. I especially enjoyed the simplicity of the art style and it made me very eager to try drawing for myself and here I am today still drawing. I try and have a stark contrast of cute characters that are stuck in particularly violent and serious situations. I normally draw myself in certain moods that I am currently in, but I try to be much more upfront about it then most other artists by avoiding vague abstract concepts that are too open to interpretation. I My work is mainly comprised of cartoon representations of other people. I enjoy taking certain features from them and putting it to paper in a cartoon friendly matter. I am reluctant to compare myself with "caricature" artists that you would normally find on the streets of New York as I don't really care for the medium much and I find the look of my work quite different in the fact that it resembles something more along the lines of "South Park anime". I enjoy redrawing people very consistently until I get their cartoon representation down to a science, I want to master drawing them from a wide variety of different angles and emotions because nailing it is extremely satisfying.
Its not a medium I've experimented with too much but I also fairly enjoy writing because it's clarity sometimes surpasses that of pictures or other visual media.
What's equally satisfying is having the approval of the person that I've drawn. I not only try to incorporate facial features from them but also they're hobbies and interests. If someone is displeased with my drawing of them I will try and refine the piece in question to a point of perfection. I do not want to fail someone I am drawing as an artist.
