i just did a mark ryden inspired self portrait in art class with charcoal and pastels, hah think this is the first 'good' thing ive done in either medium. (btw if you arent familliar with mark ryden's work you should be!!!)
alright i have to give you a little back up info...
when i was young, like 6 or 7, i made up this little creature. a flying multi-colored marsupial, with six legs, bat wings and antenna. it kinda represented me, i used to draw it on the cards id give to family members for xmas or birthdays.
so yeah...strangely i stopped drawing these little things the same week my mom started freaking out and told me she was on meds, same week i started my period, the end of my worst year of middle school. around the same time i completely abandoned my toys, my story telling...
alot of my art recently has had to do with innocence, or the lack of it. anyway heh, here it is.
