# About me

I am an art therapist turned scenic artist. I paint theatre/ film sets and read books about psychoanalysis on my lunch break. Keeps me sharp. On my toes. Mrow.

Most of what I post here are little things I do for fun, just to keep those fine art skills tuned to perfection while I'm faced with 40 hours a week of painting solid colors, distressing, texturing, wood graining, and climbing up scaffolding and then humiliating myself when I can't climb down.

Current Residence: Boston, MA
Favourite genre of music: wuss rock.
Favourite photographer: Nadar
Favourite style of art: Realism, Romanticism, Neoclassicism
Shell of choice: Conch
Wallpaper of choice: The Yellow Wallpaper
Skin of choice: Meat Popsicle
Favourite cartoon character: Lumpy Space Princess
Personal Quote: "There ain't nothin' to it but to do it!" - Ronnie Coleman

Truth be told, few of us know what we're doing when we first start. Art making is a journey- and you collect the tools and know-how as you go along.

KrioLynn In reply to hever [2013-08-11 22:21:35 +0000 UTC]

This journey is like walking a steep, rocky path into fog. I don't know where I'm going and the footing is dangerous. I'd rather turn back to where I know it's safe, but I know that the peak of the mountain is something to behold. That makes sense, right?

hever In reply to KrioLynn [2013-08-11 22:29:07 +0000 UTC]

Makes sense. But what sets you apart from everyone else is perseverance and not being afraid to continue on, no matter how foggy it might get. Here's one of my favorite quotes by Charles Bukowski that got me through a lot of self-doubt:
"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."

That is depressingly uplifting :/Β 

I can't say I understand it completely though. Though what I think I understand makes a lot of sense...

if that makes sense?

Thanks for the welcome- read the rules and just checking in as I attempted to submit to the 'groups and pairs traditional' folder, but the drop down disappeared after selected so I'm not sure if the site glitched out on me. If I need to resubmit, please let me know Thanks!

Your an amazing artist!? Do you work with alot of oils?

hever In reply to Between-the-Divine [2013-05-27 17:12:36 +0000 UTC]

Many thanks. I haven't worked with oils for years as they require a certain amount of maintenance and ventilation. Acrylics, while not as malleable, have been an alternative.
